Looking to renew my non-o extension retirement visa (1 year), I meet the monthly international transfer deposits of ฿65K (baht) per month actually I'm averaging around ±฿96K (baht) per month for the last 12 months of international transfers however I'm currently transferring over 35 times a month per month every month for the last 12 months, with an average transfer amount of ฿2740 (baht) & about 427 international transfers into my Thai bank account from my international bank, which shows up on my Thai bank account as a domestic transfer or 'transfer deposit' and is labeled as 'trade finance' or 'transfer deposit' on my Thai bank statement.... my question is what bank letter do I need from my Thai bank that will satisfy (or meet the immigration requirements) so that it shows or proves or is evident that the bank acknowledges & certifies that these 427 transfer deposits are in fact 'international transfers' & not domestic transfers into my account... is it one certification letter from the bank or do I need the bank to certify & confirm that each separate transfer is an international transfer... what will satisfy immigration requirements that must be provided by the bank in order for the immigration to approve or accept the bank's verification of such transfers? Is it a bank certification letter an official bank verification certificate letter & what shall the wording on the letter be for immigration to verify & accept the bank letter into my visa application for further processing of my non-o visa 1-year extension? Please only comment if you have 1st hand or direct experience with this scenario before & what you had to provide to immigration from your Thai bank so as to satisfy immigration requirements for further processing (& approval) of your non-o extension visa? Please do not comment if you're only speculating rather only comment if you know what is required to produce from the Thai bank for me to take to immigration along with my application & necessary supporting documentation... khàwp khun khráp 🙏

Hello. I am going to apply online for a 3-month non-immigrant O visa at the Thai Embassy in Vietnam.

Does the copy of my Thai bank book showing 800,000 THB need to be certified by the Thai bank? Thank you

If you do the Retirement visa from abroad, how do you show you have 800k in your Thai bank. I have that sum in my Thai bank. I could get proof now while I'm in Thailand, but I won't be applying until August when I'm in Europe when they may say it's not recent enough. Or do you have to show that proof once you are in Thailand?

Hi, if I enter Thailand with a non O 90 day visa and already have 800k in a Thai bank, can I apply for a retirement extension right away? And is insurance required?

Hello all.

I have an appt in January at Khon Kaen Immigration to extend my current Non-O 90 day retirement visa to a year. The email I received from them seems simple enough. It lists only 3 items, Application form, copy of passport, Evidence of income and/or account deposited in a Thai bank.

Does this seem correct for Khon Kaen? Looking at the nightmares from other immigration places, this is a breeze.

Is the application form the TM47?, it doesn't say.

I will of course bring the TM30 I used for the certificate of residence I used last month for banking and drivers license. Anything else I should bring? KK is an hour and a half away, so going back and forth is a real pain. I did get a passport photo the other day, but it doesn't look like I will need it.

Thanks for the replies.

I repeated my question for those chosing 65,000 THB a month method. Who pays the transfer fee? Could well be 1,000 THB for each transfer, the destination gets a tad less than 65,000 THB but enough to ruin the round sum of 65,000 THB.

I am sending 22,000 THB yearly for the building maintenance of our condo. For that amount I have to add 500 THB atop. For 65,000 THB may well be more.

65,000 THB monthly transfer does not pop up just like that. There are fees.

Hi all , I’m just beginning my visa research process. I would like to apply for non o retirement based on 800000 baht in Thai bank account. Will be applying from Oz , I understand you get initial 90 days, then apply for 1 year extension, what happens after that,, ? Do you continue to apply for yearly extensions ? Also have things changed & is health insurance a must? ? Tia 🙏

Hi .i am on a non 0 retirement visa ,I’m 64 British .

I’m only 2 months into my 1 year extention but I now want to change to a DTV .

I know I need to leave Thailand ..will probably head to Vietnam .

So I just leave and don’t get a re entry visa ..correct ?

I can show the 500000 THB in my Thai bank ?

It takes about 10-14 business days to get approved from HCM ?

Thanks for any information to settle my mind
