Want to get Education Visa, and rent condo. I understand my credit report does not get pulled for visa and renting, but what about when I open a Thai bank account? Or can I pay rent another way not Thai bank account? TIA

800k baht in the bank for retirement.

I know it needs to stay in a few months on both ends, but if you take some out and need to re-deposit, does it again need to come in from my home country? Thx

Hi

My friend is on a 30 day exemption and is looking to apply for a 90 day visa as a first step towards applying for retirement visa. Immigration told him he must get his financial evidence certified by the British Embassy but they don’t do this. Can the group advise where he should go to get his documents certified so that they will be presentable?

Hi, I will be applying for an O retirement visa 20+ days before my current visa runs out. What document do I need to show proving I have transferred 800k from abroad to a Thai bank, an updated bank book or statement?

Hello, does anyone have any knowledge about obtaining a 1 year Family Visa Extension, please? I arrived in Thailand on 23rd March on a Non-Immigrant o Single entry 90 Day Visa.

I believe I need to obtain a Kor Ror 22 to be able to open a Thai Bank account and show 400k for 2 months before my application. I believe I need to get my marriage certificate and passport notarized at the British Embassy however I don’t believe I can do this in Bangkok and should have done this in the UK (where we were married).

I’ve asked a few Thais who have been very friendly but given partial or confusing information so far. Have any of you done this and maybe can suggest how it worked out for you, please. I guess I am probably not the first one to have this kind of question. I wonder if we will need to go back to the UK to get the documents Notarized and start all over again. Thanks Jason

I use Krungsri bank and use Udon Thani immigration office. I have a FCD USD savings account and a THB savings account. I intend to use my FCD account to apply for my extension. Krungsri will issue the guarantee letter but there is no bank book to update. Will this be a problem?

Hi, I want to return to Thailand on a more long term/full time basis and have been looking into applying for a Non OA multiple entry 1 year Visa. I meet all the requirements, but with all the restrictions in place, Covid 19 complications, plus cost it's seems a bit of a painfull and worrying process. Wondering if I might be best served looking at another type of visa and then once I am out there exploring other possibilities in which to stay.

A bit of background about me. Been going out to Thailand since the late 90's, from the UK and just turned 50. Enough money in a British bank account to meet criteria. I have a Thai partner and we want to get married when we return to BKK. Plus I also have an 11 year old Thai born/Thai national daughter who also lives in the capital.

Any advice, tips or pointers will be greatly recieved.

I was thinking and I have not seen anyone talk about opening a bank account with a STV. I just want to know if it is possible and has anyone tried.

If I go to Thailand and stay for the 9 months and leave for the 3 months, use the STV instead of getting a O-A visa, could I get a bank account to make life easier. (pay rent and bills).

What are your thoughts and Thanks,

Tod Daniels, the letter from one's bank, for the non-O, over 50 extension, confirming that the account is yours and type of account etc: should the bank be asked for this letter to be written in Thai or English? I've got 2 example letters that you've posted, the first in Thai and second in English. Is there a Chiang Wattana language preference?

Hello All. We just saw this on Thai visa!!

We are a married couple, who are US citizens. We have been here on a "retirement, Non Immigrant O" visa, that we have renewed for 3 years now. For our proof of income, we always go to the US embassy to get a financial affidavit of our income. We cannot deposit all of our pension at once in a Thai bank, because we receive it monthly. Also, Social Security will not deposit payments into a Thai bank at all. Social Security also comes in monthly.

When we tried to show US bank statements before, they would not take them. So what form of proof can we use to show how much we make? (we are in Nakhon Si Thammarat)

We do have Thai bank accounts, but do not keep very much money in them, therefore do not have a history of adequate deposits.

TIA
