I have a non-O visa from Belgium, valid for 90 days. I'm coming to Thailand in October. I've booked a hotel room for only one month. (After that, I want to stay with my girlfriend, but the room owner doesn't fill out a TM30 form, even though he's required to do so.) The hotel owner forwards the TM30 form to immigration. I have to report to immigration within 24 hours. Will I receive proof of residency from immigration, even though I've only booked a room for one month? I need this proof to open a Thai bank account to apply for a one-year extension at the end of the 90 days. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Anyone done a successful DTV visa extension in Chiang Mai?

If so, I'd appreciate any advice!

Please, what is the limit on funds in a Thai bank when processing an AO visa? Two months before the application and how many months after the application is processed. Thank you Dana

Hi everyone. Thank you Admin for letting me in.

Forgive this question as I'm sure it's been asked a million times but:

I am from the UK want to retire to Thailand and am in a long-term relationship with my Thai girlfriend.

I have been to Thailand 6 times over the past 2 years and now wish to spend summers in the UK and winters in Thailand.

I want to apply for a Non-Immigrant O-X Multi-Entry (5+5) Visa and qualify in all eligibility except the Thai bank account (my 3m bht is waiting to be deposited).

To get the Thai bank account I need a visa (can't open one with a tourist visa).

Catch 22!!

What do I do?

hi i would like to ask if the 800000 have to be send to thai bank before applying for the extension or can the money be already there if i have thai bank account before applying

I built a house on my wife's property 2 1/2 years ago. We winter there 5 months and 7 months in the U.S. According to the Royal Thai Consulate I can apply for a yearly renewal retirement visa as follows: retirement income plus money in bank for 60 days equals 800,000 bht. I used to go to Laos to get re stamped but almost didn't get back last time. Not doing the border bounce.

Got my DTV approved 😆 5 years stress free now which feels great after problems with other agencies !

I entered Thailand a month ago on a Non-Immigrant O visa, but haven’t transferred the 800K THB yet. Due to a change in circumstances, I need to return to my home country next month and stay for about two months. Because of this, I don’t plan to transfer the funds until I return to Thailand. Will this cause any issues when I apply for the same type of visa again soon?

Ok.. so I’m here on 60 day visa exempt and want to get a Non O retirement visa(90 days and extend for one year)

If understand correctly I can apply online using evisa while here and once I have the confirmation email, print it out and do a boarder run and this then gets stamped for 90 days?

So I was told you are only a tax resident in Thailand if you stay more than 180 days and have a Thai Bank account
