Hi all... asking for a friend: Their Non Imm retirement visa with multiple re-entry is expiring in a little less than 90 days. Is it too late to deposit 800K himself? (agent provided previously). If too late to do himself, can any one recommend an agent charging "reasonable" price to handle renewal and 800K in BKK? Pattaya or Chiang Mai are possible if necessary or if significantly less expensive.? Thanks for any helpful info!

Thanks Tod and Ellie for there help over the years.

My wife and I (both UK) got to Div 1 this morning at 9 am. No appointment.

But out at 10:30 all done with another year’s visas in hand. AMAZING!

Hello, need to renew my retirement visa end of November 2025 and I have 2 questions. I will apply in Pattay for renewal.

1. Financial part: For my current visa I opted for deposit option of 800000 baht in KB and left that amount untouched. Can I use that same money for my renewal now so I do not need bringing in another 800000?

2. Residence: For my current current I used the address and deed of my condo which I still have but I do not live there anymore and rent it out. I am staying with my Thai partner in a private house so I do not have a rental contract. Will this prevent renewal? Do I have to reside in condo? Thank you for reading this and any ideas.

Hi all, a quick question, I’ve just renewed my retirement visa and I was wondering when the 90 day reporting day will be?

I have just recently renewed my retirement Visa based on the 800,000 how long is it before I can touch that money i have not been asked to show my bank account again

I recently had my Non-O retirement visa extended, but BB’s new policy made the process extremely difficult, complicated, and costly in both time and money.

I would now like to transfer my funds from BB to another bank. Would it cause any problems if I withdraw all the money from my BB account, which I used for the visa extension, since one of the conditions requires maintaining a minimum balance of THB 400,000? Or, as long as I have THB 800,000 (THB 400,000 2 months prior to the filling date) in any Thai bank account, would that be acceptable?

In other words, for my future visa renewal, must I continue using the same bank account that I originally used for the visa application and initial renewal?

If anyone has experience to share, I would appreciate it.

What's all this dribble on Bangkok Bank and visas? Is this going to affect renewing my Marriage Visa with the 400k in the bank for 3 months? But BKK Bank is only providing the certificate/statement if it's been there for 4? Is this Thailand wide? It's great that there's a crackdown on people abusing the system with dodgy agents, but is this going to affect people doing it correctly with the immigration 3 month rule?

Hello! Wondering if there is any way to change the effective dates of a non-o retirement visa... mine currently will expire on 29 Dec - I plan to renew it towards the end of November, within the 45 day window, however, I see this being a problem every year as I typically travel back to the states for the winter holidays. If I renew it in November, will it then expire the following November, or will it still be December? Ideally, I would like to be able to renew it in October beginning in 2026. Thank you in advance for any advice!

Part 2 of the marriage visa nightmare.

So. Drove back down to Korat immigration for another shot at the marriage visa. Had all the same paperwork from last time still stamped and everything. Fixed the ONE misplaced signature from last time. And BAM

NOW for some reason there's a signature that is wrong on our house contract. THE SAME HOUSE CONTRACT FROM LAST VISIT. THAT STILL HAS THE LAST IOs STAMP AND SIGNATURE ON IT.

Our landlord happens to be out of town and cannot expedite her information signature and ID card. So yay.

Have to come back FOR THE THIRD TIME. I am beyond angry at this point. The amount of time and money I have wasted on this is absolutely insane.

I am at a loss for words at this point. How is it paperwork last time that was correct signed and stamped now incorrect.

Sorry end of rant.

Hello, can anyone share if the financial requirement of DTV is checked or maintained for a specific time after the approval of the visa? Like do they still check it, for example, every 90-day reporting or every exit/re-entry?

I understand that it is upon renewal, but for the other cases, I am curious if it is? TIA :)
