Hi, I am 51 and my wife is 38 and we will be moving to Thailand in January.

Trying to get my head around which visa to apply for.

My wife will be my dependent.

For the OA visa, do both my wife and I need to have 800k thb in a bank account or, as it is a joint application, is it sufficient to have just have 800k thb in 1 account. Also, does it have to be in Thai Baht, or can it be in a foregn currency but the equivalent to 800k thb?

Can the OA visa be extended every year for a year in Thailand? Or do I have to go back to my home country to procure the letter of no criminal record and medical certificate?

For the OX visa, is it for 5 years or 10 years? On the Thai embassy site it says 5 years each time, total 10 years. Does this mean that after 10 years I would have to switch to the OA visa?

I am eligible as a UK national. My wife is a Russian passport holder. Is she eligible as my dependent?

And again, for the 3 million thb in a bank account, can this be in a foreign currency or does it have to be in THB?

Thank you so much for answering these questions and I apologise if they have been asked before, but I couldn't find any link.

Russian nationals on METV (180 days):

1 - get 60 days on arrival ?

2 - 1900 thb extension possible ?

3 - extension for 7 or 30 days ?

4 - if make border bounce on the last day of visa, can get 60 more days, which can be extended again (total 240-270 days)?

Thank you

IT Square Laksi is the correct place to get TR visa extension for Russian nationals? Thank you

Have a Russian friend trying to extend (tourist visa or exemption, I'm not sure what Russians get) in Samui, I think they can still only get 7 days, but she's finding conflicting info on if extra documents, medical certificate etc are needed now. Is there a clear answer?

So many people stranded with tough Visa situations now, appreciate this group's knowledge!

Hey :) How long can Russian people extend their visa at the immigration center? My friend told me 7 days,

However I met 2 Russian at the Immigration center today, they said there is not problem in extending for 30 days,

Would like to know
