Hello, I'd like to check if anyone else has encountered this issue.

I heard that the Kasikorn Bank (K Bank) branch inside the Chaengwattana Immigration Office has closed. The closest alternative K Bank I know of is in Laksi, but it doesn't open until 11:00 AM.

Can anyone confirm: Is it required to obtain the official bank letter on the very same day you submit your O-A visa extension application?

Thank you

If i move my required funds for retirement extensions from, say, bkk bank to kasikorn, will it have any repercussions when applying for next extension in january?

Hello all, next month I will be renewing my Thai retirement visa (non-imm type O) for the 3rd time. Regarding the Thai Immigration Dept requirement for proof of 800k baht, previously I had my bank (Bangkok Bank) print a copy of my passbook, stamp and then sign the documents the morning of, so that I could then submit along with my other documents. Well, Bangkok Bank recently informed me they no longer sign and stamp such documents. I asked them to do anyway, willing to pay. Nope! They informed me there is some new understanding between the Immigration Department and themselves that such authentication is no longer necessary. I’m a bit skeptical and would appreciate any feedback on this matter. Thank you.

hello! I plan on coming over on a non0 visa (putting my child full time into international school). I am aware that i have to pay the year in advance when i apply for the visa, however is there requirements on how much savings i should have in my account or am i fine as long as i pay for the entire year of schooling?

I hope I have a pretty simple question. I have searched but not quite figure it out. Wouldn't one advantage of going from an extension of stay based on age to a Thai citizen marriage visa be to reduce the amount of money needed in a Thai bank from 800k baht to 400k baht? Thanks.

When calculating the time that your 800k needs to be in your account before and after a retirement extension renewal - is it calculated in full calendar months or from the date of your extension? I understand it cannot go below 400k at any stage .

Thank you .

Specific question for Chiang Mai Immigration: Can anyone confirm when applying for 1st visa extension based on retirement, if my bank book has to be updated the day of application or can be updated the day before? Thank you.

Hey guys and gals, quick question. I’ve been here several years, I always keep 400k in my bank account for my Non-O marriage to a Thai. My question is if I deposit , say, 45k into my bank every month does it have to be an international transaction, or can it be a transfer

from another Thai bank ?

Hi all. Question about funds in home country bank for Non O application.

Once visa is granted are there any further requirements to show funds again.

Not being dodgy want to pay off car lease with funds and then replace with sale proceeds before leaving for Thailand.

Thanks in advance

I've just had an interesting conversation with Chiang Mai immigration. I have a non o retirement visa, and have been using the monthly income method for my extensions. Partly because of the falling Aussie Peso, I decided to convert to 800,000 in the bank. I duly banked the amount in early August, well before the two months seasoning for my extension on 26 Sept. Now I find, confirmed by immigration, the money must be in the bank a full 12 months before I apply for an extension. Their reasoning is it wasn't in the bank for 3 months after I applied for my last extension????

As we'd say in Aust, Please Explain
