A friend has just been refused renewal of his retirement Visa because 15 months previously the 800,000 was not in the bank for more than one day. This is because it was arranged by an agent in the pataya. I'm surprised that the government officer would think this was a problem. I would have thought they would only be interested in what money has been in your account for the previous 12 months. Can anyone offer advice on this?

So I will shortly do the first extension of my non O retirement visa at Chaeng Wattana based on 800k in a Thai bank. I got a list of the requirements when I last went to CW and it seems surprisingly short. It refers to:

Completed TM7 form with photo

Copy of passport (presumably data page and stamp page)

Bank certificate

Copy of bank account (I will take copy of up to date passbook and print out of transactions for last 12 months)

I was surprised that it doesn't refer to the TM30. Is this required? Is anything else needed at CW? Copy of lease? Map? Many thanks

Hello

About how much will be required for a Retirement visa for a 50 + foreigner with Immigration and visa agent charges?

Can I extend a 90 day non immigrant retired visa for another 30 days or do I have to leave Thailand?

This is an FYI, and not a question, about something that caught me off guard yesterday. I live in Prachuap Khiri Khan province (Hua Hin) on a non-imm O retirement VISA. Yesterday 2 immigration agents came to my home and said they needed photos of me standing inside and outside of my home. Also, they needed a picture of me standing by my post box. They said it was a new policy from Bangkok immigration. They are verifying addresses last reported on the TM30. I thought this was only done for marriage VISAs. They were pleasant and polite during their visit. Just surprised me.

Im arriving in Thailand and i get a 30 day visa exempt, my Q is, im applying for O Retirement visa, i meet all the 50+ financial needs, address etc, however i see that a review can take 2-3 weeks, thats the problem, as i stated im on a 30 day visa exempt i could run out of time, should i first apply for 30 dat extention first THEN CAN I APPLY FOR O RETIREMENT IN THE EXTRA TIMEFRAME,. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

I have Australian passport.

I don't want to apply for retirement visa becouse of requirements of retirement visa.

But now this 4 time I came with 30 days and I will apply for another 30 days.

But my return ticket is 23 February 2023.

Initally i made mistake for destination of my trip and i had return ticket.

Only I could change the date of return ticket.

In two mount i didt want to go back to Australia. I made it 23 February 2023 instead of November 23 2022.

Now i need to have 3 mounts to visa in Thailand.

I was thinking I can solve that problem with border bouncing.

Do you have any other option to advise me?

Or

Wich way the best for border bouncing ?

Thank you for reading and answering my questions?

Hello ladies and gents.

It is soon the time to extend my husband's stay based on the O-A visa. This is the second extension. His health insurance runs out on 25 October this year. When can he go to get this done and does the new insurance need to start from 26 Oct please?

Many thanks in advance for your help which is always truly appreciated. Take care!

Can anyone please clarify if Samui immigration will process the application to change Visa Type from TV to "O". Application for Change of Visa (TM.86). Thanks

In answer to another recent question now closed, it was stated that applicants who are married to each other and are 50 years of age or over cannot make use of the dependent (follow) extension (for one of them). As far as I know, this is, in fact, allowed, and wondered where the notion arises that when someone turns 50 they would suddenly no longer qualify for a dependent extension they would have qualified for before turning 50. This does not seem to be the case in Phuket so can anyone cite where the rule mentioned in the first sentence comes from
