Good day everyone.

I've just been approved for a non o retirement visa. I applied in the UK. My Thai wife is with me. We are planning to return to Thailand late May.

What are the next steps I need to do to get the 12 months extension. Do I need to go to the British embassy? Do I need to get my passport translated?

Please explain to me in simple terms please. TIA

hi - my local amphur has many requirements for obtaining the yellow book. Some of them requires a trip to my embassy in Bangkok to get my passport verified! Other requires involving a certified translater! Can't be bothered with that. I see here several get it easily. My question is : do I have to use the local amphur or can I use another? Thank you.

I'm about to go to immigration in Korat regarding the 12 month extension. The 800,000 baht has been in account for the required 2 months. Question does the bank statement have to be done on same day as going to immigration or can it be dated the day before. I'm in Pak Chong. Hour and 15 minute drive to Korat.

I'm applying for non-O 90 days visa outside from home country. I uploaded 2 days ago the hotel booking receipt of first 15 days as it requested for "long-term accommodation proof". Unfortunaately I receive reply email that "proof of long-term accommodation for 90 days" is requested. Does it means that I really need to provide a lease contract? But the point is I only able to find long-term rental house after entering Thailand!!! Anyone can give advice, thanks

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

Thai Immigration Holiday Closure May

ALL immigration offices in thailand will be closed the following days in May

Monday May 4th

Wednesday May 13th

Entry/Exit points to the country (airports/land crossings) do NOT close during holidays

Also if you have a stamp that expires the day that immigrations is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and not be fined for overstay (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport though). ..

Plan accordingly people !!!

The highest out of pocket cost, after accommodation, appears to be health insurance.

For an initial 90 day non-o, converted into a 1 year retirement stay year by year, what are the requirements for insurance?

I have seen numbers near $usd400 per month!

(For a 65+ retiree)

Thank you
