Still working in the UK, aged 63, want to spend 2x90 days in Thailand per year, not married.

What’s the best visa?

Would also appreciate any recommendations on health insurance ( not travel ) for while I am there that would pay the hospital direct, no underlining medical conditions.

Thanks for your time fella’s

So I got my 90 day non-o (marriage) single entry visa in England, waited 6 weeks in Thailand, applied for and recently got my 1 year extension (first time doing here), got my multi-entry permit and am good until October 2026.

Looking to next year extension I will have 9 months left in my passport when the extension ends. What are the options as I would need 12 months to do another extension? I heard visas can't be used once your passport is renewed.

If I go to UK and renew my passport October 2026, I would have to get another 90 day single entry visa in UK, wait 6 weeks in Thailand to apply for 1 year extension again, then wait 30 days again for processing? Or because I've had already done an extension in Thailand, would the processing time be less even though it's a new passport and new visa.

Can someone clarify the options, if any?

Hello. I have a question about applying for a Thailand non-o visa in Vietnam. I have a limited time in Vietnam on their visa. If my non-o e-visa for thailand takes too long, can I enter thailand and then do a border run to Vietnam when the e-visa comes through and come back on the non-o? Anyone have experience with that?

I'll try to make this as succinct as possible:

* 15Mar: Arrived BKK on a Non-O, staying in a private residence, TM30 submitted

* 25Mar: Got the "official" TM30 from immigration, this allowed me to open bank account, deposited 800K THB that day.

* 30May: Planning visit to immigration to get 1 year extension for Non-O

* 12Jun: Current Non-O stamp in passport expires

Questions:

* What do I need to do to have a smooth experience with immigration on 30May?

* I know I have to go to my bank and get...something??? Official letter? Stamp in my passbook? Something else?

* Do I need to do ANYTHING else other than proof of funds? Refresh the TM30? Etc?

I assume I can initiate this as soon as the funds have "seasoned" i.e. 2 months in bank. I don't want to wait until the last minute and have my current visa expire due to issues with immigration.

Thanks...

Hi, I am now on a Thai wife non-o visa. My understanding is that now I am eligible to work. Immigration told me to go to labour office to find details for work permit. Labour office gave me a bunch of paper in thai and say your prospective employer must fill. The prospective employer says I need to leave the country and that will arrange a business visa based on which the work permit will be granted. So what’s the truth here? Who need a business visa if married to a thai allows you to work?

Hi

I have a non O immigrant visa and am going in to immigration to extent my visa for 12 months for the first time

I have filled out the TM.7 Have my proof of income statement from my embassy. Am 65 But unsure whether I need to fill out the Guarentor form and if so does that person have to accompany me to immigration. I went to the counter when I got my non O immigrant visa 2 months ago and asked for the forms for the extension for a retirement visa and they gave me the TM 7 and Guarentor forms ?

Thank you

Hello all, I'm shortly moving to Thailand and currently have a non-o visa due to my wife's job. I'm now considering if it would be possible to continue my current UK based full remote project management role from Thailand. Thankfully my employer is happy but I'm unsure about work permits.

It appears I have a few options to allow legal working

- DTV - is not available yet and only last 180 days

- LTR - not sure I will meet the conditions

- Use a POE service which appears expensive but can assist securing a non-b visa.

Does anyone have experience of a PEO service, are they legal?

Am I missing any other options?

Thanks all

Hey just thought I would let people know that the border at Ranong is a very simple bounce in and out. Did it yesterday myself and it cost me 2600 thb and was over and back within the hour and I was the only one. I’m on a non o visa by the way.

Hi guys.

Sorry if I get confused with the terminologies about visas and entries, please correct me if I do. I'm Brazilian, I can stay 90 days visa free as a tourist (I don't need to go to any embassy or need evisa to enter Thailand, the bilateral agreement has been set a couple of years ago and it's never changed)

I have some questions, I think they're common but different in their own way (same same but diffelant)

1 - is there any limit on the 90 days, non-o single entry visa based on marriage? I want to marry my gf, but I can't prove I have 400k in my account. She and her family are ok with me being "poor" falang, we already sorted out the personal issues of dowry and wedding. I'm worried about the immigration office and passport control. The point is that if I live with her and have a place to stay I can save money eventually and have the 400k baht in the near future

2 - I have stayed maybe around 5 months in Thailand last year in total. In 2023 I entered in January, left in March, and stayed one and a half month away. Came back in May and left in August. Do you think I may have any problems when coming back now by air? I'll buy a ticket out of Thailand just in case

3 - Can I apply for a work permit if I have the 90 days non-o single entry based on marriage? I doubt it, since it's very little time and it doesn't seem interesting for the kingdom. I work remotely, but I'd like some extra work

TIA 🙏
