Hello all.

I have an appt in January at Khon Kaen Immigration to extend my current Non-O 90 day retirement visa to a year. The email I received from them seems simple enough. It lists only 3 items, Application form, copy of passport, Evidence of income and/or account deposited in a Thai bank.

Does this seem correct for Khon Kaen? Looking at the nightmares from other immigration places, this is a breeze.

Is the application form the TM47?, it doesn't say.

I will of course bring the TM30 I used for the certificate of residence I used last month for banking and drivers license. Anything else I should bring? KK is an hour and a half away, so going back and forth is a real pain. I did get a passport photo the other day, but it doesn't look like I will need it.

Thanks for the replies.

Hi all... A quick check-in on the Thailand Retirement Visa process (Non-Immigrant Visa Category “O” – Retirement Extension).

I entered Thailand in late November on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa Category “O”, with the intention of applying in-country for the one-year extension of stay based on retirement.

Completed so far:

* Opened a Thai bank account in my name

* Deposited 800,000 Thai Baht (treating the funds as frozen)

* In the process of completing residence registration (TM30 / address confirmation), including a notarized passport copy from my embassy and an official Thai translation (should be completed next week)

* My understanding is that Thai medical insurance is not required for an in-country retirement extension (please correct me if wrong)

* The two-month seasoning period for the 800,000 Thai Baht deposit will be reached in early February.

Questions:

* Is early February the correct time to go to the Immigration Office with the full set of required documents?

* Is this typically walk-in or appointment-based?

* I have read that the funds must remain untouched for three months after the retirement extension is granted — does this restriction affect my ability to leave Thailand during that period? I need to return to the United States in March for pre-existing obligations and requirements.

Thanks very much — appreciate any firsthand experience or recent confirmations 🙏 ~mb

Hi advice needed I am waiting for my money to season for my retirement extension my g/f has asked my to go to Laos with her and her friend if I go would this affect my application thanks.

Non O Marriage Visa Extension re-entry financial requirements

Hi Everyone,

Am I correct on re entry into Thailand with a re entry permit with a Non O Marriage visa extension that you don’t need to show 20,000 baht cash etc ?

And that’s only for tourists on visa free entry and tourist visas?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi all, If I am on a non O visa got the 12 month extension if I wanted to go back to UK for up to 6 months is that possible? Thanks

I am planing to get a 90 day non o visa in Australia ,come to Thailand open a bank account,put 800000 baht in account and apply for 12 month extenion based on retirement. I have been coming to thailand regulary over last 2 years on tourist visas for 55 days at a time 2025 3 x .With crackdown on people staying over 150 days i thought its time to get a long term visa

My problem is I dont want to spend 90 days in Thailand to setup the non o visa as getting doctument together to open bank account together then transfering money

Waiting 2 months after money arrives to get extension if I hit some snag along the way will take almost the full 90 days

Any suggestion how i could achive a 12 month extension in less time

Ideally i would like to arrive get a lease on on an apartment open a bank account transfer money return to Australia for a month then return on a new 90 non O and

Extened for 12 months as my 800,000 would had been in bank for 2 months.

I’m on a non imm O visa. If I left Thailand for 6 months with a re-entry permit would I still have to show proof of my monthly deposit while out of the country?

Hello everyone,

Could you please tell me if a Re-entry can be done at IT Laksi and what the requirements are? I’ve tried to find more information but couldn’t.

Also, could you please let me know what documents are required for the cancellation of an ED Plus visa, apart from copies of the passport and the letter from the university?

Thank you in advance!

Hello

I have 2 quick questions. Can I get a retirement visa and then switch it over to a marriage visa? Second question: If I got a retirement visa in January, would I be able to leave in February and come back in April or May without issue? I appreciate your opinions.

God bless
