Due to problems with Wise not marking international payments as international I'm just wondering if I can do the following:

I already have a Bangkok Bank account already with the requisite 800k which I'll be using to obtain my Non-O retirement 1 year extension in mid January (the money has been there for many months).

I also have a Kasikorn account, which I believe Wise payments will show as international deposits, if I pay in 65K for 12 months and after 12 months will I be able to switch the visa to the Kasikorn account and then carry on with the 65K method

I have Non O immigrant retire 90 days, done bank account with 865k all ready to go, what documents do i now need to get 1 year extension what is needed ? DNA more loopholes lol, hope its not as difficult as openng a bank account, been told need health cover and medical for STD's any advice much appreciated , i have to submit buy jan 3rd 2026 - 45 days before my 90 days expire

I have a Thai daughter and I plan on applying for the 1 year Non O visa next year. Does the 400,000 baht need to be in a Thai bank account or can it be a US bank account or Wise?? Also how am I supposed to get a Thai bank account if I don’t have the visa yet? Has anyone tried opening the bank account with just a birth certificate of their child? I’m getting mixed info on the internet so I just need more clarification. Thank you!

I'm a little confused about the Bank requirement for the marriage visa. I have had a thai bank account for 3 years and have maintained 400,000 thb in the account. Can I just show immigration that I have maintained 400,000 thb in the account with an updated bank statement or do I need a letter from the the bank?

Question about Non-O Retirement Extension in Thailand 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m on a Non-O Retirement Visa (issued in Vietnam) and getting ready for my 1-year extension at Immigration Krabi.

I keep hearing different information, so I want to double-check a few things.

As far as I know, for the Non-O extension you only need:

✔️ 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account (seasoned 2 months)

✔️ Bank letter (same day)

✔️ Updated bank book

✔️ Passport + copies

✔️ TM7 form

✔️ TM30

✔️ Rental contract (valid on the day of extension)

✔️ ID card + house book copy from landlord

✔️ Fee 1,900 THB

So my questions are:

👉 1. Do I need any health insurance for the Non-O extension?

From what I understand, insurance is only required for the Non-OA visa.

👉 2. Do I need a 1-year rental contract?

My contract is valid but not for a full year — is that OK for the extension?

If anyone has recent experience in Krabi or anywhere in Thailand with the Non-O Retirement extension, your feedback would really help.

Thank you so much! 🙏😊

Has anyone come in on a tourist visa and successfully changed it to an o retirement visa with an extension from within Thailand?

Hi we will travel to Vietnam to apply for the dtv. My husband will be the main applicant and me and our 3 children will be the dependants and will apply once his has been accepted. I have read each country has different requirements for the funds. Can the money just be in my husbands bank for us all? Thankyou

I had a retirement visa that I couldn't renew because I had to leave Thailand for a family emergency.

So I have to apply for a new visa.

I already have the bank account with 800 000 B.

Do you think that immigration office will ask for a recent proof of transfer from overseas ?

Hi when applying for the Thai- marriage visa stamp when is your evidence required marriage cert & Partners details & banking plus your pension payments plus the 4oo,ooo bht etc,is this done before on Thai embassy app or is it applied for just before your 60 days are completed after you have opened the Thai Bank Account.Reason for Question is im confused as you cant open a bank account unless you have the Visa .

Does the money required for a thai retirement visa have to be in a thai account or is uk bank ok?
