does anyone know if the chiang mai central festival immigration office handle 90-day reporting? or do I need to go to the immigration office near the airport?

thanks

I was supposed to extend my extension of stay based on marriage a month ago, but I messed up the seasoning of funds due to some banking fees and card charges and the amount dipped under the 400k.

Since I didn't have much time to plan an alternative I flew out, stayed in another country for a few days and flew back in on a visa exempt entry.

I then started to prepare the documents for my new initial Non-O. I followed a document that is available on the immigration website and it indicated that I pretty much just need the 400k in the bank on the day of the application.

When I went to the Chiang Mai immigration office to ask for their list of requirements, they gave me a paper that lists "proof of saving transfer from abroad".

So which is it? Do they really require this proof of funds transferred from abroad? My funds have been in Thailand for a few years now and have been transferred between bank accounts, so proving that isn't really an option now.

Can't really see any other way forward other than sending it out and back in again. Thoughts?

Another one. The document online says I should apply at least 15 days before my current stamp expires, whereas the Chiang Mai immigration's document says "at least 15 working days" quite the difference.

Hi! A couple questions about obtaining a retirement visa:

I currently have a 1 year Non-O extension based on marriage that expires in March 2026. I’m considering transitioning to a retirement visa sometime between now and then.

My first question is re the 800k THB in-bank. I understand it needs to be seasoned in a Thai bank account for 2 months before application. I’ve read conflicting descriptions of what can be done with the 800k once the retirement visa has been approved/ stamp placed in passport though.

Some have said that the 800k needs to be kept in the account as is throughout the year (even after the application process has been completed). Is that correct? This makes no sense to me. Rather, I believe once you have received the retirement stamp, you can start withdrawing funds from said account.

When, can one begin to withdraw from their 800k deposit retirement requirement after the retirement visa has been received?

Also, I already have about 200k in my Thai account. Can I just Xfer an additional 600k from my foreign account to meet the requirement, or do I have to make a single 800k transfer from a foreign account. (I know this is immigration office specific. I would be applying at the Chiang Mai office.)

I have a question concerning the under consideration for the extension of stay based on marriage in Chiang Mai. It will be my 2nd yearly extension. At the first extension (of the original visa) I got the under consideration stamp on top of the remaining days on my visa, which was more then 2 months after I applied. Is it the same for the 2nd extension or will the under consideration period end 30 days after I applied.

I‘m not all the time in Thailand, so I need to plan my travel accordingly.

Thanks in advance for an answer

Hi,

When applying for Non O extension, will the 12 months begin the date the extension is approved or from when the initial 90 days visa expires?

Also, does anyone know current Chiang Mai requirements regarding showing proof of residence, i.e. do I need a rental contract and if so, what's the minimum length? (I'm not currently there to check it myself... thinking/planning ahead.)

Thank you 🙏

I am just trying to do my 90 days online for Chiang Mai Imm and the link i usually use is coming up ERROR 404. Does anyone have an up to date link please. TIA

Hello,

I'm considering applying for the 90-day Non-O (Retirement) visa in Chaing Mai. What are the requirements specific to the Chiang Mai immigration office regarding proof of address? I read conflicting information online. I have my TM-30... will this suffice? Or do I need a copy of an agreement with my landlord?

Background: Anyone who has spent time in the ‘Rose of the North’ probably knows Chiang Mai immigration is notorious for being extremely busy with hundreds of people queuing per day starting before sunrise.

Lamphun office is tiny and barely sees anyone.

Question: if someone stays one night in Lamphun and gets the property to file a TM30, can you use the Lamphun office for an extension on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry?

It’s a 30 minute drive and rooms from 300฿. Why not have an overnight holiday to save spending 8-12 hours at immigration?

I’ve convinced my friends to try this so they don’t lose a day of their holiday.

Am I wrong? If so, the group will tell me quickly.

l Went to immigration in Chiang Mai to do my 90 day drive thru today and I think they made a mistake. They put my next report 2 months from now instead of 3, I didn't notice till later. Plus they gave me back the form I have to give stapled to the old paper and with the old date crossed out and the new report date written with a fluorescent highlighter pen. I'm confused. I saw the car in front get the same papers given to them and I thought they had made a mistake and they had to go back but now I don't know what to think or do . Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello everyone! I need to extend my retirement visa in Chiang Mai before September 28. If I plan to submit my application on September 10, do I need to ensure my bank account balance exceeds 800,000 THB by July 11 (two months prior) or by June 11 (three months prior)? Thank you for your assistance!
