Applying for one year extension for my 90 days non o based on retirement. I have the house book from my landlady, but she does not have a chanotte. Do i need it?

I am a non-O visa (retirement) holder with a multiple re-entry permit. When I return home from outside Thailand do I need to do a TDAC?

Hi Guys.... is it just me that's so confused over which health insurance I need in order to apply for nonO visa through thai embassy🫣. I expected nothing is cheap but im getting so many different prices...and shocked by some..am i even googling the right insurance🤷‍♂️...that's why I ask you experts here 🙏. Is it best to pay annually?... monthly?.. how long do I take this out for as my plan is to go on to a retirement visa. At 50 years old with no previous illness what is an average price?... any help would be much appreciated.... Best reply... beers on me 🍻🍻😅

I need solid advice about my current scenario. I arrived in Thailand for the first time in November, got the 60-day stamp then went to immigration and got a 30-day extension. I did a border run to get another 60 days. Then another border run for another 60 days. By the time I finally decided to get a non O retirement visa (90 days + 12 month extension of stay) I realized I didn’t have enough time so am doing one last border run in a few days. Yes I should have done things differently but I failed. I am leaving Thailand in July and returning in October. Do I need to get the non O visa before I leave so I won’t be rejected upon trying to re-enter? Or can I leave then begin the visa process immediately upon coming back in October?

I've asked this on the Wise thailand group and a few people recommend I as here so...

I was on an Elite visa for the past 5 years. It's just expired and I want to switch to a Retirement visa.

I have a UK passport, I'm over 50 and receive a monthly pension over the 65,000bht requirement, so it should be easy... Not

The local immigration and local agents all insist I need a proof of income certificate from my embassy... They know the British Embassy do not provide this...

Local immigration will not accept pension payslips and bank statements as proof of income... (Funny that the tax man does)

Any UK retirees that use pension income as grounds for retirement visa and extensions, without the embassy certificate and withou using an agent, how and where?

Im finding it very f*&#@n annoying, that I fulfill the legal requirements, but Im being forced to obtain the visa through an agent

I am sorry to keep asking questions about this but I want to be sure I have the correct information. I am currently in Thailand on the Non-O marriage visa, but I need to change it to the Non-O retirement due to a mistake I made. After checking the relevant websites, visiting immigration here in Korat, and emailing with a visa agent it seems to me the easiest way to do this is to go to Cambodia and then re-enter as a tourist with my US passport.

Please bear in mind the required funds are not an issue. All other paperwork is in order.

My question is this; if I do that can I then apply for the Non-O retirement visa from WITHIN Thailand, or does that need to be done while in Cambodia? Obviously if I do that while in Cambodia I will then need to stay there for the 10 days or so it takes to get approval for the visa. Which isn’t great but it’s easier than any alternative I can see.

Thanks as always for your assistance.

Give me option for Thailand visa where I don't have to exit. One year or plus

Hi,

On 6 June 2024 the IO here in Chiang Mai granted me an extension of stay based on the Non - O over 50 (retirement) visa using the international bank transfer of 800,000 baht. The expiry date ends on July 2 2025 (in effect 13 months according to the stamps in my passport).

The next extension of stay will be applied for and based on the monthly income method of 65,000 baht minimum international bank transfer every month for 12 months.

Question:-

Do the 12 x monthly statements run from:-

1) June 2024 to May 2025 inclusive (12 months);

2) July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (12 months);

3) June 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (13 months).

Regards!

Hi, we are aiming to stay up to 180 days a year in Thailand. At the moment it's 3 to 4 months. Married, have land and house and yellow book and bank account with sufficient funds. If I go for retirement visa, can I stay out of the country for the other 6 months? Or would you recommend another visa.

Dear all, another quick question if I may. I'm completing the evisa application and it asks for my occupation. I automatically stated my current role but I'm retiring before our planned arrival date in Thailand and plan to apply for a retirement visa once we complete the paper chase. Should I put retired on mine and my wife's applications? The supporting bank statements will show a monthly income at the time of application. As ever, thanks in advance for your advice.
