Hi all, I would appreciate any advise on any agents that can help me get a marriage visa extension. I don't have thai bank account and 400.000 funds..most of agent ask 45 to 60k..please suggest thanks..

Hi Guys, my wife & I are moving to Thailand in August, and have a list of questions that we can't seem to get a proper response on. None of the Thai Consulates here in Australia seem to be taking calls at the moment and we have no local one' that we can visit. We have also sent emails to the consulates but not receiving a response so thought that I would try here as we really need the information to be able to proceed further. We will be applying for the 90 day Non Immigrant Retirement Visa from OZ, then doing the 1 year extension from Thailand, so our questions relate specifically to this visa only.

We would appreciate the correct advice relating to this and are gratefull for your advice.

Non- immigrant O VISA – Retirement - 90 days (First 90 days)

To meet the financial requirements can the 3 months deposit into an Australian bank account of a total of 65,000 BHT (per person per month) be from other sources not from a State Pension?

Can the money be in a joint bank account (husband and wife)? Are the financial requirements for both applications taken from this same account?

If the 65000 BHT deposits per month per person is acceptable – can you spend the deposited money, or does it have to stay in the account for 3 months and not be touched?

Can a superannuation statement be used as proof of having adequate funds instead of a bank statement?

Non- Immigrant O Visa – Retirement – 1 year Extension (when in Thailand)

Is the financial requirement for the 1st year extension, to deposit 800,000 BHT (per person) into a Thailand bank account for a period of 2 months?,

OR

is there another option to have 65,000 BHT deposited (per person) per month for 2 months?

If the 65000 BHT deposits method is acceptable – can you spend the deposited money, or does it have to stay in the bank account and not be touched?

To open a bank account - Can we apply for a certificate of residency certificate once we arrive, by showing 2 months paid accommodation. The accommodation is rented from the owner through Airbnb.

Rental agreement – How long does the rental agreement need to be for?

Does the Thailand bank account need to be in separate names for a husband and wife or can it be in both names?

How many years can we renew the non-immigrant 0 visa – for retirement purposes?

On a retirement Non-immigrant 0 Visa – can my wife enter as a dependent on my Visa, if she is over 50 years old and Australian? If yes, can a bank account be in joint names?

Can a superannuation statement be used as proof of having adequate funds instead of a bank statement?

Thanks so much!

Can some one kindly advise the best steps to follow to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand please

I'm currently on vacation here and wish to move to Jomtien for the first year, I am from New Zealand.

I intend to rent a condo for first year then go from there 😊

If possible best actions and any pit holes to look for thanks.

All replies gratefully received.

Apologies in advance if redundant, but when you need to show the 500k THB for the DTV e-visa, does that need to be in a Thai bank account or, are you showing the equivalent amount in a US bank account for example? Thank you.

Hello All, I’m looking for the professional advice,

If I’m arriving to Bangkok without visa from Canada and get 60 days exemption visa, in the airport, can I change or ask right away to get retirement non 0 visa ?

Thank you for any help,🙏

Hi guys.

Travelling from UK.

Can I get a retirement visa in Thailand if I just enter with the standard visa you get on arrival 60days or should I get first a non imagination O visa 90 days and convert into a retirement visa..

Thank you.

My wife and I are presently on a 1 year ED Visa in Thailand. I'm 56 and my wife 51 years old, both Canadian. At the end of the ED Visa, I'm planning to switch to a Non-O Retirement Visa within Thailand. Can my wife be a "trailing spouse" on my Retirement Visa or does she need to get her own Retirement Visa? Can she use the same 800 000 baht that I already have in a Thai bank account to get her own Retirement Visa? We got married in Thailand, not Canada and have all paperwork in order.

I am going to apply for a non-o visa in Nakon Phanom and have been told I need to go to Mukdahan to apply for first time, not really sure why. I have the 800 k in the bank already 1 month. Not sure what documents are needed and would appreciate any information or advice. Example would be if I need a bank letter and account statement when first applying.

The 400k balance for marriage visa... Does it need to be in an account with JUST your name or can be shared account with wife?

I am returning to Thailand tomorrow on my multi entry O-A visa. The visa expires in mid Feb 2024. My question relates to the banked money component of my extension. I thought I did not need to put the 800k baht into a Thai bank, the same as when I got the O-A visa. But my local Immigration officer said I will need to bank the money, and the websites I have searched don't really address the extension requirements. Has anyone gone through this process and can confirm that I can leave my money in Aus for the extension. Thanks.
