Hello All , I have a question, I’m still little bit confused,

So I have Non O-A Visa with multiple entry stamps will be expired in end of October, I renewed my insurance what is good 2026 October, I’m planning to fly out for few days and Coming back in this Month.

1, I will receive other one more year stamp till to my insurance is valid (2026 October)?

2, when I coming back can I ask for other multiple entry stamps (if I pay extra)?

3,(if I can’t receive Multiple entry stamp)

Can I ask re- entry permit before fly out , (let say in January ) and when coming back my one year visa still valid?

Thank you any advice 🙏

Sorry for too many questions. I’m totally lost.🤔



I am about to apply to renew my visa extension based on retirement,Ihave a unused single re-entry permit ,which I bought when I extended last year.

Does this expire with the current extension or is it valid until used?

When calculating the time that your 800k needs to be in your account before and after a retirement extension renewal - is it calculated in full calendar months or from the date of your extension? I understand it cannot go below 400k at any stage .

Thank you .

Question about visas: I entered Thailand on a non-b visa but things didnt work out with my first employer. I left the country and went to Laos for a border run and re-entered on a tourist visa so my second employer could convert it to a non-b. once again, things did not work out. now i have a new job that starts in mid-october but my tourist visa currently ends on september 27th. should i go to immigration and get a 30 day renewal or should i leave and re-enter again? how long should i leave for? should ask my new job for a letter to help me at the border? im afraid of being denied at the border but i would do it by air this time to another country instead of by bus like the last time.

Anyone know what's going on with wise.

I transfer money using wise into my Bangkok bank I mark it as long term for retirement but when I check my Bangkok bank account it shows up as DEP TRF FR E-CH not international transfer. Has something changed with Wise because before it would show up correctly. Also will immigration except it when going for visa renewal

Thanks

I got the dtv visa in June and I can only enter in Dec this year, would it be ok?

I heard people need to renew it every 6 months, is it true?

Thanks

Another banking & immigration related question. Sorry if it has been asked before.

I want to change my 800K 'immigration deposit' from Bangkok Bank to another bank.

I have most of my other monies tied up in CD's in the States ---- so I would need to use the money in the Bangkok Bank account to satisfy the banking requirement in regards to my upcoming renewal of my one year extension Non-O 'retirement' visa.

As of today I have 59 days left until my one year extension expires.

Do I need to go to Immigration and do some particular paperwork to get this bank change properly pushed through in regards to my visa requirements, or can I simply do a direct transfer in one day between the two banks and have all the banking papers in-hand from both banks when I do apply for renewal?

To cover myself, I would go to Bangkok Bank and get my bank book updated prior to doing the transfer. Plus I would leave enough funds in the account to keep it open and active after the transfer.

I have my transfer limit on my BB app set to two million baht a day so I should not have an issue making the transfer itself.

One question that particularly bothers me is perhaps the one day date change that may show up between the bank books/statements during the transfer. Think that may be an issue if it happens that way? I know Immigration can be a real stickler about some things.

Heck, a transfer may even take more than one day to take effect ya think? Of course I will check in with both banks regarding that question but I am just trying to get something of an idea as to what to expect and watch for.

Any advice or knowledge would be most appreciated! Thanks!

It seems like so many people are having issues getting/ renewing their visas. I noticed many people are having problems with the banks too. This makes me weary about our upcoming move… any suggestions

This is going to start our like I'm just complaining about the banks, but it builds up to an interesting situation and I'm curious to hear some predictions. Also if you are the kind of wag who bitches about long posts- you should stop reading now. This will exceed your attention span.

Marriage visa. Doing the one year renewal- if I mess up the vocabulary forgive me, but hopefully everyone knows what I mean. Not a 90 day check in. Not a new visa. For this year I want to move from the 400k to the 40k a month. I've been wiring cash into Thailand the first week of the month for three years. I popped into immigration a couple months ago with a bank statement because I'd seen people have trouble here where it doesn't show the transfer as coming from overseas.

For those of you in that situation here is (I think) the problem. When you use a service like Wise they keep accounts in various countries and to save themselves money instead of transferring your dollar from Kansas to Bangkok they take your dollar and transfer one of their dollars already in Bangkok to your final destination. I believe the "reason for transfer" informs exactly how they do. I'm using e trade not wise and the closest option they have is something like "expenses for travel". They have one for "compensation" but the transfer from USA to Thailand in my case isn't compensation, I've already been compensated, I'm just moving the money. This is important later in the story.

So I went in and showed the statement and a couple of bored officers went through it with a fine tooth comb. I had theorized that one of the codes indicated the source- this is either not true or they don't know the codes. They explained I needed a report signed by the bank that verified the origin of the transfers. The lady also wrote a note and her number and stapled it in my passport so I could show the bank and they could call if they needed help. I took a trip in August and the officer who stamped me out of Thailand removed it and threw it away. I gotta say they have more than their share of rude staff in bkk.

Okay fast forward to yesterday when I go to the bank and try to explain what I need. The woman gives me a bank form with 4 different reports listed. The third one (I think? Maybe second?) was "internal remittance". I sit and wait and eventually a guy brings me report 1 "average balance" I explain this is not what I want.

Okay and here we have outrage point number one. Stuff like this just kills me and I know I need to develop my meipenrai, but it is hard sometimes. He basically says "I've never done that report and don't know how to do it so I did this one instead.". Whoever started this habit in the culture here should be strung up. Anyway, so I explain again. He then calls the branch I opened my account in and they basically refuse to do it. The claim first that my choosing "travel expenses" is wrong and somehow that means they can't do it. Then they change the story to "this is only for people buying houses" and then to "the farang can go soak his head, we are busy". The fellow helping me says "maybe we just print 12 months of statements and you could try that? Which is basically him trying to get me to do the same dumb thing he did. But my wife just wants to roll over so I compromise. I'll take the wrong report, but you give me your phone number and when it's wrong you talk to immigration and they can repeat what I said and since they are Thai and you sir are racist maybe you will believe them. He reluctantly agrees, off I go.

So the triage nurse at immigration seems to think it is fine and my wife gets smug because I was negative for nothing. I harbor doubts. I am sent to a desk where I signed my name ONE HUNDRED AND SIX TIMES.

PROTIP: use a separate bank account for immigration than you do for your daily transfer with a household of 7 people.

We are almost done and I ask the officer "I was told very clearly by the lady at the next desk that I had to have a report from the bank that said the transfers came from overseas and the one you are holding is the same report as she inspected a couple of months ago" he was slightly startled and confessed they don't actually check that at this stage in the process. It will get kicked back in 2 weeks and I'll need to fix it then. So I basically wasted a solid 8 hours at the bank and signing documents that are wrong.

The good news is I actually got my stamp and that failing the paperwork doesn't mean you don't get the visa it just means you need to redo some stuff.

So, expert assessments? Will the report sneak through? Will I just need a fresh one later? Does choosing "expenses for travel" fail the "this came from abroad" test?

One more note. After the remote branch was invoked I commented that once this was over I wanted to close my account and open a new one where I live now. The banker freaked out and said it is basically impossible to open a new account now. Take that with a grain of salt after the rest of his performance, but it jives with the rumors I've been seeing here.

I am on a retirement Visa and left Thailand and came back in yesterday, without doing re -entry stamp before I left, and they said we can give you one month free but you must go to Jomtien immigration office and talk to them about how to get your original one-year visa back into effect. Does anybody know if this is going to be possible?.?
