# Dutchies!

I have recently heard about needing to have the required 500k for atleast 6 months in your personal bank account.. By the end of this month I have well over 500k but not for 6 months yet..

Do any of you have experience with this? If this is true I have to wait a lil longer to apply😩

Has anyone gotten the non immigrant O visa for a husband and wife who are both non-thai citizens? I am wondering if the expectation is for husband and wife to share same bank account or is it required to have two bank accounts with 800k each?

Also I see some places say that a spouse of a non immigrant O visa holder can apply as a dependent and receive the non immigrant O visa as well. But I do not see that option on the online application.

Any insights on this will be greatly appreciated. Ive been trying to reach someone on phone with no success yet. Thank you.

So if the US Embassy no longer provides proof of 65K+/month how can you meet the income based criteria for retirement visa?

British passport , over 50.

I’m looking to fly to Thailand one way , get my 60 day at airport immigration then extend 30 at immigration . In the mean time I’ll deposit 800000 and wait for it to season 2 months @b4 I apply for my 12 month extension/ retirement visa.

Now the question is… I know I’ll need to book an “ exit” flight out of thailand in order to enter Thailand on a one way flight from uk….. but that exit flight will have “expired” when I apply for my retirement visa/ 12 month extension . Will it flag up at immigration whilst I’m applying….

Would anyone know what the ramifications would be if your bank account was to fall below 400,000 on a retirement visa, thanks

At Bangkok immigration today, a good friend of ours from Switzerland tried to renew his retirement extension. Unfortunately he was turned down because he submitted a different bank account he had used from his previous 2024 extension. He has 2 accounts, both of them has over THB 800,000 all the time so he didn't remember which one to use. In fact he didn't know he had to use the same account every year from then on. IO said if he couldn't come back with that same account, for example if he had closed it and used the other one, he had no other choice but to leave the country! ( Or use an agent) 😔😤

Hi can you go onto retirement visa from tourist visa when you are in thialand 🙏

Hi. I have jest applied for a non O visa based on marriage, we were married in Thailand about 14 years ago,once I arrive in Thailand do I still work threw the Thai E visa for my extention of stay visa or do I go to an agency? Cheers..

Can you guys please guide me. I heard that immigration officers sometimes ask for showing 500k Thai baht when doing border run.... On dtv it is not allowed to open bank account, then how will I show that I have 500k Thai baht? Can I show my funds in dollars in PayPal or wise or payoneer? Will they accept it?

Question on applying for Retirement visa in Thailand. Q: on the requirement for $800 k THB in a Thai bank for 2 months prior to visa application, how does one open a Thai bank account without a visa? I'd be there on visa exemption status. TIA
