Hi i have a question regarding my entry into thailand

I have a retirement visa with multiple entry

This will be my first time entering Thailand since issue upon entry do i need to go and get a 90 day stamp in my passport?

Hi all, I’m on a retirement visa and my first renewal date is 22nd Sept 2025. I’ve been doing my 90 reporting online but my next one I’d due 15th Sept only a week before my visa renewal. Can I just renew my non O visa early instead of doing the 90 day report?

Also, do I need the same documents for the renewal as when I first applied for my retirment visa, including the bank document showing the 800k came from the UK or is that not necessary anymore just 12 months statements? TIA

For my retirement visa extension, I was asked to provide a list of all the places I've lived in the last 12 months along with lease agreements and evidence of rent payments. Is this normal procedure now or is it because I'm applying in a different province than last year. I bounced around temporary places quite a bit and this won't be easy.

First stop Bangkok Bank for Confirmation Letter ( I already have the statement) The girl said to me, I need to have 400 or 800k baht in the account for 4 months. I said I don’t use that method, I use monthly method, she goes and speaks to the Manager, comes back and says, they cannot do letter. I go to the branch in Robinsons (where I got my statement) as it’s now open, explains the story to the girl, she prints off Confirmation Letter and I pay her 100 baht, she explains that the rules have changed. I head to Immigration (Roi Et) with all the docs required as per Koh Samui list. He checks the statements and asks where the money is coming from, I say the UK as they show as FTT transfers, as required. He says, but I want to see proof of money going into your account in the UK from your pension provider, luckily I have April 2025, on my phone. Koh Samui had never asked for such proof in the last 10 years, I don’t know if this requirement is new or not, and I pass the info on, for anyone who it may affect. 🙏🙏🙏

What a nightmare...

Probably most my fault.

Got my Non immigrant 0 e visa the other day with digital print out of which i print out in colour.

With done i took print out and I my ID I needed to kasikorn bank.

Was refused bank account

Lady quite polite..

She says i need passport stamped and then get retirement visa from immigrant. Completely opposite to what government says...

I heading to Khon Kaen

See where I go from here.

Is Kasikorn a difficult bank

Or which is best

All new to me....

Cheers

I recently renewed my passport and had my retirement visa transferred to the new passport. Immigration now requires a new TM30 even though I remain at the same address. My question is, how does this affect my 90 day check-in timing? Does the new TM30 reset the 90 day clock, or do I continue check in at the date specified by my last check-in notice under my old passport?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

I tried to apply retirement visa in Thailand. I need your input when my 90 day O visa be started. Up on arrival or when my the time my E visa has been approved?

It is my understanding that when you apply for a marriage visa Bank bank freezes your funds.

Do they only freeze the 400,000 thb or do they freeze all the money in the account?

Non O retirement Visa.

Help below if required.

Arrived in Thailand 5 days ago, under a Non O visa.

I’m from the UK.

Public holiday in Thailand, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Immigration reopened today Monday morning. I needed a TM30, and Certificate of Residency so I could open a bank account.

I got there at 8.50am, 10 minutes before it opened as I knew it would be busy. I live with my Thai girlfriend in our (hers) house, so difficult to do the TM30 online as not a business or hotel.

She came with me, I was one of the first in the queue all sorted in 20 minutes. The cost was 500 baht. Left with the TM30 stapled to my passport and my certificate of Residency in an envelope.

Could not have been easier, and lovely people.

I then went to get a new SIM card from the AIS shop, then opened a bank account with Kasikorn Bank.

All sorted in 4 hours 😀

Documents required.

TM30 & Certificate of Residency.

Passport

E visa printed copy

Passport size photo

My girlfriend’s ID card.

My girlfriend’s house book.

Cost 500 baht.

New sim for my phone.

( I have my own phone number as an e-sim)

Passport only.

Cost, sim 100 baht, and 300 baht a month for a good data plan.

Opening a bank account ( Kasikorn Bank)

Passport

Certificate of Residency

Phone with new Sim (so they can upload the app and open the account)

Usual bank questions, home address in uk, what you salary was, new phone number, ect.

Cost was 300 baht. ( but I gave 3000 baht cash to put in)

The whole process took 4 hours.

I know I was probably lucky with my timing.

And I know all provinces are different.

And I know it depends on the person.

All that worry for nothing.

Now I wait for 60 days for my funds to season, and apply for my extension.

I hope all who are trying find it as easy as I did.

Can i change tourist visa to retirement visa.
