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.

can i get the difference of funds from a retirement visa ''800TBH '' to a marriage visa ''400TBH''

I have a retirement visa (with six months left on it) but when in Australia last week my passport was stolen and I had to get a replacement passport, so I no longer have the visa stamp. Can I simply renew my existing visa or do I have to restart the entire costly process all over again? (I have photos of the visa in lost passport etc). I have had to re-enter on a tourist visa.

Hi All. I'm working on application for non O retirement +50. They are looking for bank statements for 3 months showing 800,000 + in home bank . I have that.But also a sponsor letter. What is a sponsor letter? How do I get or show it.

In a little over a week I can go to Immigration in Bangkok to submit my request for 12 month extension to my Non-O Retirement Visa. I went out to Immigration to get their list of requirements the immigration officer who gave me the paper also told me I needed to get the bank certificate showing the account balance and this can't be more than 7 days old; Bank Statements for the last two months showing the 800k is seasoned; the day I come to process my extension updated bank passbook on that day, printed copy of my TM-30 -- all of this in addition to my passport (copies of bio data and entry stamp, copies of my Non-O Retirement Visa.

However, when she was talking to my gf she also mentioned having: 1) Condominium location of map, 2) Condominium lease agreement (I'm on Airbnb) and 3) Copy of the Condominium Owners ID Card and House Registration. QUESTION I have is has anyone recently gone for their 12 month extension and were asked for these last 3 things (cause none of these were on the sheet they hand out while most of the first group of items needed I knew about from reading messages here)?

Thanks in advance

Please can someone confirm how long a multi re-entry permit is valid for? I'm currently on a Non-O retirement visa with first extension due before March 2026. If I visit Vietnam for a week at the end of January and get a multi re-entry permit before departure, is it valid for a year or will it automatically expire when I apply for the first extension of my non-o? Many thanks

Advice please

When transfering 800k into bank for non o visa , do you need to transfer it so a FET form can be issued. Does immigration need to see funds as a foreign transfer Do you need to transfer funds in your home currency then bank convert to THB, or is it best to us WISE for best exchange rate

Can you use WISE and get a FET form

Having read all the advice on here regarding 12 month extension of a non0 visa ( for retirement) I went to my local immigration office ( Buri Ram ) and asked for a print out of requirement . I then went home , waited for my money to mature (2 months) and then translated the print out.

Unfortunately for me I had taken my partner with me ( to translate) and I ended up with a print out for documentation to support a Thai wife ( which obviously I don’t have) .

So instead of going back to immigration again I’m asking you learned ppl if u can help .

I have…

Passport and 3 copy’s

EVisa and 3 copy’s and 3 copy’s of passport visa stamp

TM30 and 3 copy’s and partners house book ( where I’m living )

6 recent photos passport size

I will get an updated bank confirmation letter on the day I go for extension

Am I missing anything

Question about applying for non O retirement in my home country. Can I use my IRA retirement account with stocks and CDs to show 800k seasoned in my account , then use cash from a car sale for my Thai bank account when I arrive ?

I’m old and usually confused! 😁 Is there any Thai government office in Chiang Mai where I can go in and actually talk to someone? I am clueless and am visiting Chiang Mai on a tourist visa next month. I really want to sit down and talk to an official about what my retiree visa options are, what steps I need to take and when I should initiate. I‘ve read so much conflicting information online and I’m not smart enough to weed through the misinformation on my own. I know where the eVisa website and have used it but can’t figure out some “chicken or the egg” questions that I have.
