Im looking for information, if my family have non o based on my work permit and when I exit the country to apply for another non- B from another school… do i re apply for them too or i go out apply for non B myself only then extend with them

I am looking for some information because I am unsure of what the process.

I will be returning to Thailand at the end of this month I am an Australian citizen so I guess I will get the 30 day entry visa however I would like to apply for the retirement visa.

I am not sure but I think I would have to apply for the three month extension and at the same time apply for the retirement visa.

Is this the correct and easy way of doing it I had been living in Thailand previously for six years but that visa as well and truly expired however I still have the required money in the bank.

I would appreciate any help or further information of what the correct procedure is.

Thank you in advance

So if the US Embassy no longer provides proof of 65K+/month how can you meet the income based criteria for retirement visa?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been reading through some posts here and I have a few visa questions I hope someone can help with:

For the DTV (Digital Nomad) visa — is it allowed to sell products online while living in Thailand? Some people say it’s not allowed to work or sell, others say it’s okay as long as your income comes from outside Thailand. Which is correct?

For the Non-O Retirement visa — if I apply by myself (not using an agent), is the chance of rejection high?

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your experience or advice! 🙏

Sharing my successful DTV extension experience at Chiang Mai Immigration (Workaction category). Took 2 visits, but I was approved for the full 6-month extension. Yes, it was a lot of documentation to provide, but I'm happy with taking this route for the 1,900THB fee over funding a border bounce. I hope this information is helpful to somebody out there!

What I Submitted:

* Passport

* TM7

* Copy of passport bio page

* Copy of visa page in passport

* Copy of entry stamp in passport

* Copy of TM30 (printout from landlord)

* Copy of 90-day report (and had to show the original)

* Bank account verification letter

* 3 months of bank statements (originally provided 6 but the officer gave 3 back to me)

* Printout of the current bank account balance (printed from my bank's website)

* Job offer letter

* Employment verification letter

* Resume

* Portfolio

* Employment agreement

* Copy of Rental Lease

* 3 months of rent payment slips

* STM.2, STM.9, STM.11 (basic acknowledgment and consent forms on Thai visa/immigration laws. provided at the office, quick to fill and sign)

Final Thoughts:

* You can apply up to 45 days before your current stamp expires. Highly recommend using that window.

* Foreign bank accounts *are* accepted, but the officer required a bank verification letter (in addition to printed statements). My bank (U.S.-based) simply provided a letter with my name, account info, and balance. That seemed to do the trick.

* Didn't apply to me, but I was told that while we must show the equivalent of ฿500K held in the same account for 30+ days, shared accounts may be asked to show ฿1M

* One officer at this branch seemed to specialize in the DTV requests. He was helpful and professional, and openly acknowledged the inconsistency in how extensions are handled across Thailand.

I obtained my 90 day non o visa through the los angeles embassy... for visiting family... thai wife... what I would like to know... may I start the paper work with the immigration office before the 60 days? It would be for the marriage visa.. one year.... is there any reason why I could not just do it now.. at 30 days in country? my reason... is that I do not want to start construction of our house until I have the one year marriage visa.. thank you...

Hello, wonderful people! I have a few questions:

1. I plan to be in Thailand for the first time on DTV in January 2026. I have been there multiple times without a visa (I am a Canadian). Should I apply for the DTV now (in the next month) or wait until November?

2. I am a health care provider. I am allowed to work remotely and am a business owner (sole proprietorship). However, I cannot provide Thai immigration with receipts with my client's name (for privacy reasons). Can I provide them with a few receipts with some information redacted? I will also give them bank receipts.

Thank you so much for your suggestions!

Hello everyone!

I just arrived here on May 17 from the US after applying for and receiving a Non-O Marriage visa in April on the advice on Brandon Thurkettle. Thanks again Brandon! Unfortunately immigration informed me yesterday that I made a mistake by not having our US marriage license stamped at The Embassy in Los Angeles. So………it looks like we will have to go to Cambodia and apply for the Non-O retirement visa. Then wait 7-10 days to get it emailed back and start over. My question is this; is there a way around having to do that or should I just resign myself to some time in Cambodia? I have heard the agents can work around it but I also hear they do some things that the Thai government might not approve of. Or that are outright illegal. So I don’t really want to use them.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

As we have heard that Thailand os requiring proof of income again for tourist visa applications for 6p days.

I am reading the update and this is only talking about nationalities required to apply for it.

It isn't saying anything about people under "exempt" status. Where you dont have to apply for a 60 day tourist visa you can show up with approved passport and get the 60 day stamp.

Or am I missing anything?

Hi Guys new here so be gentle, I am planning to retire to Thailand in a year or two I have a conviction for drink driving will this hinder my attempt to obtain a retirement visa. I'm 62 and married to a Thai girl for 26 years and have 2 grown up children. All other requirements are fine.
