Question. Sorry if it’s overly asked.

For retirement visa extensions,

the Thai government website states three ways to show Financial Proof regarding getting an extension. I’m on year three now so want to use the 65k monthly income method.

Here’s the question; for the Bank Deposit method, it clearly states 800k baht must be verified by Thai bank book and verified bank letter

For the monthly income method, it says nothing about Thai bank. Only verified income letter from embassy, or 12 months proof of income by bank statements showing over 65k baht monthly income.

Has anyone ever used foreigner bank statements to make this monthly income verification? Again, Bank Deposit method clearly says Thai bank, where Monthly Income method does not.

Bank Deposit

Monthly Income

Combination.

Thanks.

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice 🙏🏻

My work permit expired in March, and I didn’t realize it at the time. I’m still working with the same company, and my Non-B visa is valid until May.

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Could you please advise me on the proper steps to resolve this issue and how I should proceed?

I currently have a Non-O Visa,

I deposited 800,000Baht into Bangkok bank a while ago, Bank says (new bank rule), they have to lock up the 800,000 for 4 months, that's when I first applied for the NON-O visa.

To apply for the NON O visa, bank gave me a letter saying I had 800,000 in bank.

fast forward 3 months, Today I'm starting to prepare my documentation for immigration.

They say, BANK, they cannot give me a bank letter saying I have greater than 800,000 baht in bank. They updated my Bank Book, it says I have over 800,000baht in my account.

Their reason, I have only, let's say, 80,000baht available.

however, at the bottom of the page, it says 800,000 is locked up.

Infront of me, they phoned immigration and asked if they will accept it, Answer was a NO

their solution was, send another 800,000baht to my account, then the account will say I have over 800,000baht

They wouldn't even give me the letter, the one that say that I have 80,000 available, with the sub text saying 800,000 is locked up for 4 months.

However, I can take a photo of it and show immigration, and if immigration say its ok, then I return to the bank, and they will give me a copy.

my head is spinning

Have I done something wrong?

This application process isn't my first in Chiang Mai, have done the process twice before, where I have let the visa expire as I was living elsewhere. No problems with bank letters in the past

So... where to begin here. My god what a horrible experience with the Thai embassy in the Hague!

Nobody never attend the calls. I did call them 100 times never ever someone picked up.

When asked question for the DTV soft no one ever gives conreet answers! They just say: check the site. Or an copied automatic message.

All required documents I delivered as of most important:

Proof of funds last 3 months

Proof of funds of the actual day of today.

When asked why its rejected nobody answers.

What a big headache pfff

I did 5 borderruns in 2025, this is the issue?

Someone have experience with the embassy in The Hague?

Hello All.

I have a two part question. I have a Non-O visa (I extended my stay and live in Bangkok) and I renewed my passport while abroad. Wondering what to do when re-enter the kingdom? I assume I show the immigration officer my old passport with the Non-O stamp in it along with my new passport.

Then I go to Immigration Division 1 at Lak-Si to have them transfer the stamps (extension of stay and multi re-entry permit ) from the old passport to the new one?

Is there a specific location at immigration that I do this or do I go to the main information desk and ask them?

Thanks so much for your help.

I entered the kingdom with my wife on a 90 day NonO visa. Is it possible to get a 30 day extension for that visa?

Anyone done that?

Just a FYI regarding banks… After three attempts at two different branches of Krungsri and getting denied each time I was able to easily open an account at Kasikorn. I have a non O visa and what I thought was ALL required documents but Krungsri seemed to insist that I need proof of paying electricity and water bills even though I’ve be renting the same room for 15 months with utilities included. 🤷

Hello All

I entered Thailand 🇹🇭 on a E-visa from England which Iv now done my 2 months and also extended it at the local immigration office so I’m on my last few days now and I’m needing another 20 or so days before my flight ✈️ back home which is already booked.I was wondering can I go out at Nong Khai friendship bridge boarder then travel to the airport fly back into Bangkok getting a standard tourist entry.

Hi all! I applied from Canberra Aus on Jan 5th, I received my first correspondence for supporting docs on Jan 29th. Three times they have asked me to supply a VEVO check/status but I am Aus citizen so in the end I supplied a pdf with 2 things (a letter to them stating I’m not eligible to show status in VEVO, a copy of my Aus passport). I had previously already supplied my Aus passport (in the application initially). Then they asked for another supporting document of proof (Jan 30th) I’m able to work in Thailand by my company. I’m a freelancer and supplied this letter with my initial application. Then I submitted a reissue with a bullet point stating ‘the consultant is able to work in Thailand should she wish to’. Today I’m asked for the same thing again so I reattached the same doc (this is a letter from the HR department of my clients which I showed my primary income from).

Anyone else with similar experience? Should I be submitting a different doc/letter to support this? I’m in a fully remote contract and all my contracts states fully remote outside of AUS. 🙏

Flight is leaving in 7 days ☹️

A short public service announcement.

There is ALWAYS a reason why a DTV has been denied.

It's NEVER "for no reason".

Thank you. Carry on.
