Hello folks, thank you for your time.

Reading the site, I think this should work, the question is at the end.

Thai O-visa.

I intend to do it this way, feeling a bit uncofortable with agents opening an account and depositing the money for me.

1. Apply online with bank statements of last 3 months (concatenating them into a single .pdf) showing I have more than 800k THB in my account.

2. Go to Thai, get stamped with that visa (3 months) in my passport (Australian).

3. With condo purchase document (in my and wife name, 2008), go to City Council to get yellow book (wife and daughter have blue books for the same condo).

4. With the yellow book, go to Immigration to get residence document.

5. With all above (plus Thai marriage certificate) go to Bangkok Bank and open an account.

6. Once I have the account, register it with my Japan bank, takes them 2 weeks to do all their checks.

7. Transfer 800K THB into that newly open Thai account.

8. The funds have to season for 2 months.

Question: do I have to sit in Thai and wach the money age in the bank for 2 months?

Purchasing multiple entry, can I leave Thai and come back 2 months later while the original visa is still valid?

Thank you for reading my post and advice you might have for me and other members.

I'm on my 3rd extension of an O retirement visa, and am planning on going back to the States for two months. My passport is down to 3 empty pages, the re-entery permit will take up one half of one of those pages. If I get a new passport when home, will I be able to enter whit my old punche through passport? Suggestions for what I should do are appreciated.

Friend of mine entered on60day visa.he can extend to 30 at lmmi

What documents does he require for immi to extend.

I'd like to say a big thanks to Tod Daniels. I was struggling doing a TM30 online and using the search on this page, I found his clear instructions and it worked well.

🙄 Hi members.

Hit a big snag when doing E-visa..I'm 70 years old.

Been passed good to travel

By Doctors... this is where problems start.

Because I've had Major operations no insurance company wants to know me.

They all push me to Insurance Brokers who want a arm and leg... I'm applying for non immigrant OA..

It's asking for insurance policies..any way around insurance.. have funds to cover my self..plus the money you need for Bank.

Am I looking at wrong visa

Is there a better option.

Have home but can't live in it.

PS.. in Thai Girlfriend name

Thanks..

USA passport holder. Want to retire to Thailand later this year. Age 62, financial is not an issue. Felony record from 46 years ago. If filing for non-immigrant O visa in USA, is there a criminal background check required and/or will I be denied the retirement visa. Degreed professional in medical field and no legal issues since I was age 16. Thanks for any legit insight or personal knowledge.

Hi, I am needing advice and guidance please.

My daughter is S.A and has been residing and working in Thailand for 2 years.

She is wanting me to go and reside with her. She will be supporting me.

She has been advised that I can apply for a Non Immigrant 0 visa.

1. What documents is required and do I need a Thai Visa.

2. How long is the process

Many thanks

Hi - and apologies in advance, if this has been asked before:

Has anyone here been able to obtain either a DTV or LTR (non-retirement) as a sole trader and investor?

If so, could you DM with the details of the legal practice used (if any)

Many thanks in advance,

Steph

Hi members

Probably been asked many times before... With the Digital incoming online form.

Do you do it 3 days before you travel or up to 3 days before... Thanks

Hello, what’s the longest I can stay/visit Thailand in the course of a calendar year? I’ve been twice in 2025 for nearly 6 weeks so far but returning in October for 5 weeks in a row.

Will this be an issue for me?

TIA for any guidance.
