Hello everyone, is there someone who could give me the names of trustworthy visa agencies in Pattaya. I will arrive in September and I'd like to get a retirement visa. Thank you in advance. 🙏

Hi is it better to obtain a visa in Thailand or in South africa before coming that side

I need renowal visa retirement. Any advice about agency?

For annual Non-O retirement extensions at CW, does immigration accept the black & white printed version of the 12 month bank statement requested for free via the Bangkok Bank app and sent to your email? Or does one need the 12 month bank statement on original blue letterhead requested at a Bangkok Bank branch for Baht 200 which takes a week to process? Many thanks.

What is the best Visa for a Retiree who is self insuring for health because of age and pre existing conditions?

Cheers,

I can’t believe I’m still confused after so much reading and inquiring. I’m in the USA and planning to apply online for a 90-day non O “retirement” visa.

I thought there were no “bank account” requirements to accomplish this first step. I understand the 800,000 baht seasoned for two months in a Thai account for LATER but if proof of funds IS required just to get the non O visa can somebody please clarify that for me? Yes, I can research elsewhere but I prefer hearing the details from people who really know the facts. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well. I would like to ask for your advice and help regarding my visa situation.

I am currently holding a guardian visa issued by Bangkok Immigration (Chaeng Wattana) since my son is studying in Bangkok. My residence address, however, is in Samut Prakan province.

I am planning to change my visa type to a retirement visa.

* Can I process the change of visa in Samut Prakan Immigration, or do I need to go back to Chaeng Wattana?

* Do I have to wait until my current visa expires before applying for the retirement visa, or can I apply for the change at any time?

Any guidance or experience you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hi everyone, what is the best way of transferring the equivalent of 800,000 bahts from my uk bank account for the none O retirement visa.

Reporting latest experience. Yesterday transferred the monthly 65000 baht from my Australian bank account via Wise (Funds for longstay in Thailand) to my Bangkok Bank account. Transfer initiated at 9:40am, funds arrived in Bangkok Bank account sometime between 12:30 and 12:50pm correctly noted on the account as an international transfer, for immigration purposes. Transferred funds for rent and internet at around 1:30pm. Used QR Promptpay scan four times between 4:00pm and 8:00pm.

At 2:30pm ordered 12-month statement from bank app (for immigration purposes this coming week), which arrived via email at 4:30pm.

I'm on non-O retirement extension, BB customer for eight years.

Absolutely no problems, account not frozen or suspended.

Bangkok Bank and Wise not quite the ogres which some are suggesting!

Hey all working with Baan Thai for a retirement O stateside. Doing the 3 month initial visa. They’ve asked that I provide my U.S. bank statements for the past 3 months showing 80,000 baht balance. I know this is a requirement once I get a bank account in Thailand. Has anyone had the request to show the same from a U.S. bank?
