Received the initial non O visa and will ask for the extension soon. My questions; when i file the request for extension do i request 9 months or a year? Also since it is an extension request do i need to sunmit a new set of financial docs or do they act on the originally submitted financial docs submitted less than 90 days ago?

Thanks for the info.

Does anybody have experience of getting the non-o multiple entry spousal visa from Ho Chi Minh city? I heard they ask for financial documents now? Can anyone clarify this and tell me what they need?

TIT I think.Just applied at Samut Songkhram IO for 90 day visa(non O retirement).All documents were ok accept that they dont accept the legalised affidavit from the Belgium Embassy(I am Belgium nationality).They said they only accept a certificate of income like the Swiss Embassy give you.Letters from the bank with my last 2 deposits from abroad(my pension)+65000 Bath monthly were also with my documents.What can I do before I book a return trip to Savannaket?????Anyone have suggestions?

London online E visa application.

I guess this will still go in one ear and out of the other BUT, in order to bring some sense to the party anyway, and people not needing to go through the same thing of the 'E visa site is not working' 10 times a day, lets at least give it a go.

No matter which visa you apply for, ANY field showing a red asterisk, as in the attachments shown, MUST be filled in. There are many fields marked with a red asterisk as you work your way through the application. Some ask for a pension statement, financial information, work information, flight and accomodation details etc etc

If you fail to provide the information, you CANNOT move forward with the application. Starting over and over with a new application will not solve it. All that will do is fill the application folder with more and more applications. Eventually, the system will either lock you out temporarily until you've cleared the pending application folder or, as in some cases, lock you out completely as it will see you as being a spammer.

Once it locks you out completely, there is absolutely no way back in until immigration in Bangkok unlocks you. How you would go about that, other than contacting them directly, I've no idea.The Embassys have no way or input in to the system other than with your printed bar code which they need to approve or deny your application. They canmot access your application without the bar code.They cannot unlock you if your locked out.

They cannot over ride the system or requirements in any way, shape or form or except an application if it isn't submitted by E visa. The system and requirements are locked by immigration in Bangkok.

So, unless you file the requested documents, each and everyone, then your simply not going to be able to apply using E visa or through the London Thai Embassy, no matter what anybody tells you is or isn't required.

For instance, if your not prepared to show accomodation or flight details, pension or financial statements, a letter from your employer or anything else it asks for, then I suggest finding another way to obtain a visa.

Good luck.

Just came from the US Embassy in Bangkok to do financial document and everything went smooth although they normally do 60 appointments a day, today and tomorrow they have 550 appointments.

They say this document is good for 6 months through the transition faze and should be honored during this period by Immigration.

People ask for a check list for paperwork for their yearly extension of stay based on retirement.

It's hard to give a definitive one because of the individual quirks from each immigration office BUT this is 100% accurate as far as the Bangkok Immigration office

A filled out TM.7 Application for extension (the NEW version of the form printed on one piece of paper front & back) with your phone number written above your photo on the back side

Copies of;

-data page of your passport,

-ALL the stamps from your original Non-Immigrant visa and every extension up to the last one (if you changed passports you need that page where they moved your stamps to the new passport too).

-your most recent arrival stamp

-TM.6 departure card

-a hand drawn map of the area around where you live

FINANCIALZ

-bank letter (not more than 7 days old)

-copies of the front page of your bank book and at least pages that show 3 months of transaction history AND the last entry has to show the balance on the date you apply (it does NOT have to match the bank letter, it just has to be over the minimum amount needed)

OR

notarized affidavit of income from abroad letter from your

consulate

You'll need what I call the "three secret forms" (you can't down load them but I have them in the files section of the group); One is titled "statement" and is basically a self guarantee, one is the acknowledgement of overstay penalties, and the last one is the terms of your extension. Most people just sign them when the officer puts them in front of you and have no clue what they're signing. :O

IF you are using banked money there is an additional form that states you know you'll bank 800K for the 3 months before the application.

You sign the bottom of EVERY copy in blue ink.

You MAY need your lease agreement, the thai i/d of the lord, the blue house book listing for where you're renting and a TM.30 receipt <- if you're in an area that requires it.

I can say with 100% accuracy that is what's required in Bangkok because I just had three people use that exact paperwork this month and their extensions based on being over 50 sailed thru without them needing to sign anything OR even talk to the officer at all other than saying hello when they sat down.

Sorry this was long hopefully it was helpful.
