Hello everyone, when applying for a non-immigrant O retirement visa through Thai embassy in London, the section which asks to provide flight details can the flight details be one way or does it have to be a return ticket.

Thank you in advance for contributing any advice. 🙏

Thai Embassy in London - DTV approved

Remote work

Submitted the application : 13/01/26

Asked for additional documents : 20/01/26

Visa Approved : 26/01/26

Additional documents that I was asked were

1. A closer up photo

2. A rescheduled flight

3. A letter from the company confirming I could be working in Thailand

4. A consent letter to stay in the UK until the decision of the visa is made

5. Payslips for 3 months

6. Bank statements for 3 months

My bad for only uploading 1 month worth of bank statement 😅 but they asked for more and everything went well.

Fairly straightforward and fast!

Good morning from Scotland uk. I'm married to a wonderful Thai lady and have been since 1990. I have a Thai bank account with the Bangkok Bank. As there is NO Thai embassy in Scotland only a consulate , so if you require a visa of any kind you must go through the Thai Embassy in London. I'm now 70 years of age and my wife is 65 . I'd be grateful if you could advise us What we would require to stay in Thailand for between 3/6 months Many thanks William Taylor

How do you go about getting An O visa when you’re back in the uk.

Had to laugh at this DTV visa process. I got DTV in 4 days in London, no issues, I'm UK guy. Obviously I don't need a DTV as I can get do many days upon entry. The selling point to me was that my Ghanian wife could get spouse visa.

Made application in London while we are over, she gas 2 Yr type C tourist visa, paid the £300, then get told can't get DTV on a type c visa, gotta be a resident.

Visit to thai embassy in London, explained no thai embassy in Ghana. Finally they said you have to go to Abuja in Nigeria.

I asked thai embassy in Abuja about DTV, they said we are not giving DTV to African region at the moment, what a joke.

Maybe in time it will smooth itself out but I will take Thailand off the holiday schedule for the immediate future, not prepared yo travel to Nigeria, too dangerous in my eyes, plus monkeypox there.

Hello

Could someone please let me know if the following would work for getting Non O retirement visa from the UK.

In UK apply for a type-O 90 day Visa via E-Visa process. With 90 insurance policy covering over $800K. Will I also need to prove where I'll stay?

When completed, travel to Thailand and apply for 1 year retirement visa.

Will I need another insurance policy?

Many thanks
