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

I'm travelling to Thailand on an o visa to apply for spouse 1 year ( married IN Thailand ) I understand I need to put 400000 bhat into a thai bank account does that money have to come from England or can I source it in thailand?

Hi everyone. I am planning on moving to Thailand shortly, marrying my girlfriend then living here on a marriage visa. Two questions.

Which visa should I enter Thailand on?

Would I have any problem entering on a one way plane ticket?

Thanks

Hello, I am researching and planning my retirement to Thailand and I am undecided on whether to apply ahead of time while still in California (Type "OA" visa) or while already within Thailand (Type "O") via a tourist visa. From my research I am still not clear on a few topics:

1) To prove that I meet the 65k baht monthly soc. sec. payments.

Is this requirement for showing monthly deposits to my US bank

or to a Thai bank account?

2) If I need a Thai bank account to have my soc. sec monthly direct

deposit set up, how is it possible to open a Thai bank account

ahead of time? Is it possible to open a bank account on my next

vacation trip by using an agent?

3) For applying for a type "O", why is it required to have a return

flight itinerary? I imagine that I will need to make sure the return

flight is refundable when I book my flight to Thailand.

Thanks in advance for any help with the above,

Carlos
