Okay, to apply for a 90-day non O retirement visa while I’m in the USA I need at least two (maybe 3) bank statements showing I have at least 800,000 baht. My question is would an account with one of those “online only” banks be acceptable? Ally is one example. Thanks everybody.

Hi All, currently I am on a 60day exemption visa, which end at the end of the month. I am staying about 1.5 hrs drive from the Lao border. Can I just cross the border and re enter and get another visa for 30 days ???

So what is the actual real consequence if you never filed the 90 day report and then just leave when you’re six months is up? Besides the monetary fine. Edit : i’m very sick and I cannot leave my apartment for like the last four days, I know that I’m late and tomorrow is gonna be like the last day of the grace Period Apparently, but unfortunately, I’m alone here, I kinda need to take care of myself and make sure I don’t die instead of worrying about like following like all of the rules, I just wanna know because like I don’t wanna go to jail or anything like that which it seems very unlikely from what people say, but honestly, the people who are unhelpful I wish they could just not comment sometimes it’s a very big problem in this country. Everyone wants to tell people what to do and sometimes I don’t even know what they’re talking about and they have no compassion care but people might be going through underneath. You guys saying that you came here because you like the Thai people and how polite and everything they are but why you act a little bit more like them then? Why have you lived here all this time and you’re still this like broken person from the west that like has no understanding no compassion no empathy. You’re basically just living off of their land and trying to tell me what their rules are and you’re just a guest here too, and I’m really tired of in these groups, but to the people who gave me genuine answers I really do appreciate it because I’m kind of in a bad situation

90-day reporting noob here.

I understand I can go to immigration starting 14 days before my 90 day due date.

If I go 7 days before (for example), will my next 90 day due date be 1) 90 days from the original due date, or 2) from the day I went (83 days from original)?

Thanks!

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!

Graham

Hi, I am a little confused regarding my next 90 day report this time as I recently received my new extension of stay based on Non B visa. Does the 90 days start from 7th April 2025 when I returned to Thailand after leaving the country or from the date of my new extension of stay 14th May 2025. I don’t want to miss it so thought I should double check. And should it be done in person this time as I previously did it online with no issues but I hadn’t left the country beforehand, so am I right in thinking as I left in April my next one has to be in person please? Thank you.
