Hello everyone,

I require some advice or guidance please.

My retirement visa expires on the 28th December and I will not renew. I have booked a same-day return flight to KL on the 26/12. I have been informed that I only need to cancel my multiple entry permit at departure immigration Thailand. And that I receive a 60 day tourist visa upon my return at arrivals immigration TH.

Is this correct? Thanks for your time

Hi,

Hopefully I can get some guidance here and this is not a repeat question ... I have searched but ......

I am on a Non O retirement visa using a bank deposit ... vs a pension.

Can I change banks if at all times I maintain the minimum THB400,000 deposit in the post 3 month period of my visa extension. ... as in I initially have two accounts with THB400,000 plus in them and then drain the old to fill the new.

So at my next renewal I will have statements from two different banks covering the 12 month period but collectively meeting all balance requirements.

Logically that seems ok to me but I know the system has its own intricacies!

I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Have missed to fill up my account to 800k before the 6 month date. Now It's up but it's less than 3 months left to my 1 year visa renenewal. What do?

Coming to Hua Hin Jan 16 with the evisa from USA (assuming it is approved by then) Will set up bank account to move to retirement visa. Can I do a short term rental to look for a house to buy (in my Thai wife's name) while in process for the 1 year extension, or do I need to have a long term rental to get that long term visa?

Also, my mother will also be doing the same. Do both our names need to be on the rental contract?

TIA

Hi all just some info about what happened to a friend a few days ago, he found out that the 90 day reporting is NOT related to your VISA renewal at least for Retirement VISA, he tried to do the 90 day report and was rejected and requested to go immigration urgently, where he found out he was late with the 90 day by about 2 months and was fined 2k baht, but since hearing this story I have heard about another that was more late for his 90 day and they cancelled his VISA because of it and he had trouble getting a new one, so 90 day and VISA are not linked, they are separate....

My wife and I have non-Immigrant O retirement visas that will renew on 29 January. We plan to renew them this week, as they can be renewed up to 45 days in advance.

We also plan to get multiple re-entry permits at the same time. My question is this: I plan to leave Thailand on 7 January. Will the new re-entry permits cover us, or will they only take effect after the visa renewal is official?

Maybe I'm being ridiculous worrying about it (that's what my wife says), but I'd like to be sure.

Has anyone successfully changed the way they qualify for a retirement extension, from the money in the bank to monthly income, at the Jomtien office? And before anyone asks, yes I have maintained the proper amount in the bank for a year, as well as transferred in the 65,000 each month for a year.

Hey all, hope all of you had a great weekend.

Just trying to find the easiest way to get a visa for Thailand.

I will be 55 in January.

I have the monthly income that is required for retirement visa but not the 800,000.

What is the best way to get this visa?

I’m so looking to escape the daily struggles of living in the states and tired of just surviving, I want to live in peace and travel Asia.

I would like to make Pattaya my base but also travel to other Asia countries for vacations.

I have asked in a military retirement group but get different answers and have watched so many you tube videos and still not sure.

Any help is appreciated. I really did try due diligence and the closest Thailand embassy is about 700 miles away

I'm currently living in Thailand (on the student visa. It expires in Marchl.

I'd like to apply for the DTV.

-I meet the financial requirement with my savings

-I'm retired (under 50)

-I don't have a business

-I don't work remotely

-I don't have an income

What options do you suggest I look into for acquiring the DTV?

I see some applying for MEDICAL / DENTAL. It's possible to get the 5 year DTV based on a medical appt, is that correct??

I thank you all for your support on this request.

I'll likely apply in JANUARY. Maybe through Vietnam.

How do you open a Thai bank account to deposit the 800k before getting the visa? Or do you get the visa first then deposit the money, do I need an agent ?
