I wish to retire to Thailand later this year. From UK, I’ll be depositing 800,000 in Bangkok Bank. My gf says they told her I just need my proof of accommodation (TM30?). Then I wait 2 months with proof of funds before applying for the year extension.

Does this sound like a plan ?

Please be nice. Some of you guys can be big meanies 😂😂😂

Good day,

I’m looking at going to Savvanhkhet next month to get another multiple Non O visa due to marriage.

I haven’t been in a many years. Are the requirements still the same?

If someone has a list of documents needed please forward to me so I can prepare.

Thanks.

After the 5-year DTV expires, what are the options for staying in Thailand, excluding marriage or large investment?

Alsoo, Has any one heard reports of possible DTV extensions beyond 5 years?

(Yes, I realize Thailand visa requirements can be somewhat "fluid" 🤙)

Thanks

Maybe I've been reading things incorrectly, but it seems like on the evisa retirement non O, it was said you get 2 months on arrival, then can extend for 30 days, and then can extend for 1 year by getting the bank account etcetera.

We just arrived today with our non o retirement visa and both I and my mom were given 90 days right away

I'm on a Non B (with work permit) and my son is on a Non O dependent visa. We both have British passports.

Visa expires end of April and we are heading back to the UK within 60 days of that (tickets booked already). I'll be cancelling my work permit and coming back in on visa exempt.

We are in Phuket so considering heading to Ranong. I'm trying to find out what we will need to show upon re-entering Thailand?

I'm on a yearly extension of stay for retirement based on a non-immigrant O visum.

Before doing my last TM47 90 day reporting online on 02/01/2025, approved on 03/01/2025, my next reporting was due on 16/01/2025. Now the next one is due on 02/04/2025. So far, so good...

This morning, I received an email saying this:

"Your receipt for notification of "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" will be due on 16/01/2025.

(...)

Please apply TM47 request online or contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area before due date."

2 questions:

1) Should I worry that Immigration may have bungled up my last TM47? I just checked in the online system where everything still looks good.

2) Useful to know for the next time: Can an online TM47 nowadays also be done just 5 days before the due date? The email text suggests that this is the case but I think TIT also applies here and it might be a "misunderstanding"... So far I thought that it was only possible 14 days to 7 days before the due date, hence I did it 14 days before.

Is there a charge for a Non Immigrant O Visa? I'm on the Thai embassy website and it looks as though it's £150.

Or is that the cost of an annual extension.

Thanks.

Someone here, with a “M” Visa (Media) or any experience getting it? I Need some advice thank you.

Hi - what would be the best way to stay 4-6 months in Thailand? I will be coming from UK

Single Entry Visa: 60+30 days (90 total). A border run should give me another 60 days if I am correct when I arrive back at immigation, for 5 months total?

Multiple Entry Visa: 60+30 days (90 total). A border run will give me another 60+30 days automatically upon re-entering Thailand for up to 6 months total?

I was hoping to do a border run by air after the 80 day mark, is it important that I stay in the neighbouring country for atleast 1 night with the single or multiple entry visa, or will it not make a difference for the latter as the visa has already been pre-approved?

Thank you!

Hi, what would you guys say is the best visa to stay for around 6 months? Education or tourist visa with extensions etc? What would be the cost? Thank you to any experts who can give some info.
