I'm currently living in thailland I studied 1 year Thai language ... And I want to change my visa to DTV VISA

1) is the 500k THB should be in a Thai bank account or a foreign bank account is also acceptable ?

2) my online business is registered with my company in my original country , can I use my company bank account for the 500k proof?

3) we are 2 people in this company can we both apply for DTV VISA ?

Is it possible to enter Thailand on a VOA and then start the retirement visa process? (not possible to get E-Visa or Non-O before entering Thailand). US retirement age couple.

My goal is a September 24' arrival to Thailand to apply for retirement visa. I will meet the age and income requirements. What visa should I apply for coming into country to ease this process. I was told coming in on visa exempt tourist or 60 day tourist isn't recommended. Do I need any other documentation from home. My thought was hire an agent for first time and learn process to do on my own in future years. I'll be coming from USA. I've read about needing law enforcement back ground checks etc being required. Should I bring that also? Thanks for any tips.

Good afternoon,

I am visiting Chiang Mai with tourist visa and I have only one month vacation. I want to change my visa to Non-immigrant O visa. I have some questions about the required documents:

1- Do I need a tenancy contract for one year or just TM30 registration receipt from a hotel room with one month period of stay?

2- is one month enough for the process to get the 90 days Non-immigrant O visa?

Thank you so much for your help

I'm splitting it out because while it's about a retirement extension it's not related enough to stay in there.

My retirement extension was refused yesterday because I moved the 800K from one bank account to another (same bank in Thailand) for about a month, and then back to the original Fixed Deposit account. The original account dropped below 400K when I did that. But total deposits never dropped below 800K. I was told to leave and re-enter. Are there other options?

I am a German Citizen and will travel next week to Jakarta to apply for an O-A Visa, which seems to be necessary to get the goethailand Application approved.

Two questions

For the A-O Visa, do I really need to have 800 000 Baht or equivalent on a Bank account? I have not. Some information says only 800 $ per Person are necessary. What is the situation? what to do?

They ask for a document saying no criminal record. I have not such a statement. Where and how to get it? Is such a statement really required? I have not been 20 years in Germany

Please help if you have knowledge. From 2012 to 2017 I had retirement visas for Thailand in my old passport would that help?

Any help is very appreciated

Hello all

I'm an American who works and lives in Afghanistan. I have a wife in Thailand, I never had a chance to set up a bank acct because of covid I've been Afghanistan more than a year already. I always traveled as an American tourist no visa. Sometime around summer I should be retiring. Now I won't return to the US right away I'll transit through Dubai. What type of visa should I apply for without the required bank account?

Non O extension and 800k in the bank and being able to change location? I did a search in the group on moving for my situation but could not find the answer.

Let's say I apply September 1st for a new extension of my non imm. (expires 9 Oct.) But I am still exploring Thailand and I do not know which city I will be in on September 1st. Could be Hua Hin or Chiang Mai or Pattaya or whatever. But my 800k is sitting in a Thai bank branch located in Bangkok ( In early June I will xfer 800k to my existing bank account at the main Bangkok bank branch at Silom to get the 2 month aging started).

Has anyone applied at a immigration office outside of Bangkok using a Bangkok located branch passbook balance and papers?

My first non imm. O extension last September took place in Bangkok and I had to go to the Bangkok Bank Silom branch and have my bank book balance and other bank papers updated/ stamped in the morning and then that same day I had to be per the rules out at Cheangwattana Bkk immigration applying for the extension....it took almost a full day.

How do you pull off an extension with the 800k bank funds requirement when the bank funds are licated in Bangkok and you are applying for an a type O extension in another city?

Or maybe the immigration office in say Chiang Mai or Pattaya would require you to have a bank account in that City?

Please, advice... If my husband will be 50 next year, he can get visa for long stay here...

1. I know, that I will have visa with him, but what about 13y.o. daughter?

2. He has to show money on account. It should be account on his name, or could be on mine?

I have noticed that if I apply for non immigrant o visa in egland if I have money equivalent to 400000 baht in an English account it will count for marriage visa is this the same if I apply in Laos or do I have to have a thai bank account?
