Hi - having spent the last 14 years travelling between Thailand and New Zealand on 12 month Non O (Thai Spouse) visas I now need to take a different approach as one year is not an option through the E-Visa and the 90 day Non O costs more than 16,000 Baht from the NZ Thai Embassy. As I have the requisite 400K Baht seasoned in my Thai bank account can I arrive on a visa exempt 60 days, apply for a 90 day Non O and then the 12 month extension all within a three to four month period before I have to return to NZ?

Hi, looking to move my family to Bangkok. Any expats with a Long Term Resident Visa? Would really like to know the approval rate and if its worth forking out so much money. I have no criminal record, debt, loans or anything of the sort that could (in my perspective) hinder me from getting approved. Any advice?

We are in the process of setting up a company, but the figures and steps being put forward are varying in terms of monthly tax rates and visa extension costs. Does anyone have the official setup costs?

So far the costs are coming back as

18k and 30k for company registration

23k for work permit

25k for 12 month visa after 3 months

2k / month on tax

Nothing on 90 day extensions
