Hello

Due to a family situation i had to leave Thailand and couldn't come back before my visa expired.

So when I came back I had to restart the whole process.

I went to immigration on April 1st to apply for the 90 days Non immigrant O visa.

Handed over all the required documents (i had to go back to the bank for proof of international transfer )

They said to come back 15 days later.

I did came back after Sonkran. They said the visa was not ready.

Went back this morning and after a 1 hour wait, they said it was still not ready and that we should come back next friday.

I came back to Thailand on a 60 days exemption visa.

It expired today.

They said that since I was applying for a new visa it wouldn't be a problem.

But what if my visa is declined ?

Is the delay normal ? (considering it was Sonkran )

Should i be worried ?

This may have been asked before, if you use a agent and they say they will sponser you the 800baht, what is the catch. Nothing ever free

Hi I just did the 90 day notification online. It simply said sucess and I received an auto-email with the form as a pdf file. Does that mean it’s done? Since it’s my first time I’m quite confused why it worked.

Thank you for any answers.

Hi

I have a “non-immigrant O” extension of stay based on retirement. I have been renewing via an agent every year at a cost of about 17000 Baht. I think the doors are closing on agents depositing and withdrawing 800,000 in the banks. Every month I deposit more than 65000 into Bangkok bank and it shows as “Foreign T/T”.

My question is: Can I use the statements showing those monthly deposits to renew my “visa” myself?

Hi everyone, I’m currently on an ED Visa and will be leaving Thailand in March and re-enter shortly after a week.

​I have two questions:

1) ​Upon re-entry, do I still need to show proof of accommodation, a return flight, and 20k THB in cash?

2) ​For my renewal next year, I’ve to leave the country and re-enter as a tourist to apply for a new ED visa. Is this likely to cause issues at Immigration? Has anyone had trouble coming back in as a tourist immediately after an ED visa?

​Thanks in advance for the advice!

I have a general question about using agencies for your Visa needs instead of doing it yourself? I see a lot of posts on this board saying that once you use an agency, they lock you into using them in the future. I was hoping to gain insight on what this means? I understand that if you go to them for one item, they may sell you a whole package to say get a retirement visa extension, bank open, open, etc. However, if you do an initial package with them, are you required to use them annually and will anything bad happen if you choose to do your renewals at immigration on your own in the future? I don’t understand when people say that you are ‘locked in’ into using an agent in perpetuity unless something sketchy is going on? Any insight?

Hello,

My Non-B work visa expires on 18 January 2026. I have an immigration appointment booked for 9 January to renew it.

Is it okay to apply for a visa extension so close to the expiry date? Are there any risks or penalties if documents are complete?

I've got the 1 yr non-o based on over 50 (retirement)

I have my first 90 day report in February, I know it can be done online, is that the case for the first 90 day report?

I heard it wasn't allowed, and needed to be done in person.

Is there an online site and list to download the documents needed to renew my Retirement Non O Visa? Also what document shows the expiration date and how many days before it expires to renew the visa?

I understand you need to maintain about 800,000 baht in an account to renew/keep the retirement Non O visa (or at least have it in there for 6 months before renewal) but I’ve heard you can withdraw funds momentarily and go below the 800,000 is this true? And I send money into my account regularly from Canada but is it possible to send it the other way? I mean back to Canada, with a banking app
