Hi everyone, '

Just a quick question, how many days prior to end of 60 days Visa Free entry can we go Extend?

Can we go Extend say 29 days before expiry of the 60 days or is it shorter than that?

Thanks

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?

Re: More than 1 passport, and minimum # of stay

I have more than 1 passport, want to unfreezes my bank account with temporary retirement visa and settle all good in my original country and Thai, before moving

Question 🙏🏻

Can i enter Thai with 60 days tourist stamp on passport A, but use passport B (plus address proof and 800k proof) to apply temporary non-o retirement visa, so that I can avoid the unnecessary 45/60 days staying in Thai

Ps. learnt from here, I can only applying long term 12 months extension with temporary retirements visa which will expiry not more than 45 or 30 days… appreciated

Does your passport have to have 6 months valid when renewing your retirement visa? How early can you apply for your new one?

When on a non-o based on marriage to a Thai woman Is it allowed that a bank account drops under the 400k for a short period about 5 months prior to a new extension?

In reality does it actually matter under what category you apply? Workation or Soft Power? The actual visa is exactly the same.

Im travelling to Thailand just after Christmas from Canada, My fiance and will register our marriage, I need to come back home to take care of business, and I will be applying for Non O visa and then open an account once Im there to deposit the 400k bht my question is can I retrieve my 400k bht after the marriage visa is done.

I arrived in Thailand on a 3-month Non-O visa. After securing a lease and getting a letter from immigration, I was able to open a bank account. (Bangkok Bank refused me even with the immigration letter, but Kasikorn Bank accepted.)

Now I’m preparing to apply for a 1-year retirement visa. I have a few questions for those who have gone through this process, especially without using an agent:

1. Is medical insurance required for this visa?

2. How long do I need to wait after transferring the required funds before I can submit my application?

3. After the extension is granted, do I need to keep the full amount (or part of it) in the account, and if so, for how long?

Regarding holding the 800K baht for 3 months after the annual extension of retirement visa, is it 3 months from the date you applied / got the extension at immigration, or is it the date the previous extension expires, new extension starts?

Out of curiosity:

If you hold a DTV Soft Power, do you have to prove a 5 year course? From what I see on the Internet, the packages normally include a 1 year course plus visa support. What happens on re-entry after this first year? Do you have to book another course?

I know, the DTV isn't old enough to answer this questions. Just wondering ...
