Report on Applying for FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES - 50 YEARS OLD (NON-O) at Changwattana 4/4/2023

* Prepared everything exactly as stated on the attached PDF.

* Got my q ticket at 1pm and was served at 3.30pm.

* I made the 800K baht deposit using Wise last month directly to Bangkok Bank from my bank in Australia. Made 1 single transfer of 800K and it arrived 2 days later by the time they stated in the confirmation.

* I went to Bangkok Bank downstairs while immigration is closed for lunch (from 12 - 1pm) and got the letter -> “Present passbook and deposit certificate from banks in Thailand (in Thai language (Attention: Immigration Commissioner))”. Took 5 mins and cost 100 Baht.

After presenting all the docs was shown a stamp which said :-

* You have 90 days Visa (NON-O-Retirement) We stamp On 20 APR 2023

* Don't leave of Thailand before stamp visa 20 APR 2023,

* Keep money in bank until you have 1 year visa

* After 60 days start count today" 4 APR 2023 you can summit 1 year visa at counter L

* Before leave of Thailand you must summit Re-Entry permit for keep visa

They said someone from immigration might call me to do a house visit prior to the 20 April. On 20th April I need to go back to Changwattana and get the 90 day stamp.

Hello. My son is on a Ed visa with a international school, me a non-O (based on being a guardian of a child in school here)

My visa expires in 6 days, I've been asking the school for the documents and they have just told me (with 7 days notice of my visa expiring) that I need to pay up front for the school year, despite being told for months I can pay monthly.

Anyway, I don't have this money at this short notice and be able to have the seasoned funds in a Thai account.

So anyone know my options here? It seems like getting the Ed visa is impossible with their new policy's and the lack of time. Can I get a covid extension and get the ed visa at a later date?

Can I ask what people's plans are for after the covid extension? Do you think there will be a way to extend it again somehow (maybe tourist visa)even if they stop the covid extension?

Please help, losing my mind

Hi. Anyone currently experiencing issues with the online 90 day report? I'm in the right time window, have always reported online succesfully before, no change in circumstances etc. Tried 3 different browsers (with and without flight number) and can't get past the first page. Thanks in advance!
