Allan Batten made a post but it had a misspelling and was adding a spurious link in the post :O

I messaged them about it then deleted the post (and mistakenly gave them a warning :/ ) I didn't mean to warn them I meant to have them repost it without the mistake

I'll do it now

So I just got through with the retirement Visa process. After some misinformation, a long day and three Bank runs I finally got the stamp of approval, on the very last day of my immigration o Visa status. Things I learned:

-Bring a blue ink pen to immigration.

-Keep and organized all of the original stamped documents together.

- Do not need duplicate or triplicate of anything (as some there have said) for the retirement Visa, just one perfect copy is sufficient.

- Make sure you have your funds in the Thai bank for 2 months and all documents are two weeks fresh, before filing.

-Make sure you have enough time on your tourist visa to accomplish this, otherwise you will be filing for extension.

- Only need one TM 30 for the last/current residence staying at.

-Make sure there are no national holidays on the day you file. 😅

After that, need to file every 90 days.

Not clear on the status of the Visa if leaving the country though.

SawadeeKa, don't u sweat bra.😅🙏🏼

I'll try to make this as succinct as possible:

* 15Mar: Arrived BKK on a Non-O, staying in a private residence, TM30 submitted

* 25Mar: Got the "official" TM30 from immigration, this allowed me to open bank account, deposited 800K THB that day.

* 30May: Planning visit to immigration to get 1 year extension for Non-O

* 12Jun: Current Non-O stamp in passport expires

Questions:

* What do I need to do to have a smooth experience with immigration on 30May?

* I know I have to go to my bank and get...something??? Official letter? Stamp in my passbook? Something else?

* Do I need to do ANYTHING else other than proof of funds? Refresh the TM30? Etc?

I assume I can initiate this as soon as the funds have "seasoned" i.e. 2 months in bank. I don't want to wait until the last minute and have my current visa expire due to issues with immigration.

Thanks...

Hi , I’m

About to apply for my retiremt visa on my own without an agent in Koh Samui. Any tips? Do I get the visa on the same day?

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am thinking of moving to Thailand and want to apply for a DTV visa, but I don't have 500,000 in my bank account, I only have half of it. I work as a freelancer, contract and content traveler. Is there anyone who can help me to apply for a visa without 500,000 in my bank account? Thankyou.

Is that possible to request Evisa? As we got visa stamp in my passport because I did it before changing the system . But the bank request evisa again and again although I explained to them 😐

Who are the best visa agents in patong that do retirement visas if you don't have the 800000 baht in a bank account ???

Hi members...

Probably been asked 100 times being old takes time to sink in...

Thinking about getting

90 day O visa based on retirement . Is it 800000bht

Bank retirement.. I must leave Thailand and head back Sydney for medical reasons and come back after 3 months..

Thanks for accepting me into your group . I’m from the UK but been living in Italy for the past 27 years, I retired beginning of the year and now my this GF and I want to settle back in Thailand:)

I arrived in Thailand on the 9th March with 60 day visa exemption, I’m hoping to get a 30 day extension so I can apply for retirement visa. I have many questions as you can imagine , but the first question will the 90 days be sufficient to apply & receive the retirement visa ? I’m living in Korat .

Hi! I just wanted to ask why is Vietnam such a popular location? What makes it number one compared to other countries? I’m from Hong Kong and was told that it’ll be a pain to process the DTV visa from Hong Kong and to stay in Vietnam for a day or two and get it sorted out at the embassy in Hanoi. Is there a specific reason for this? Do they not care how long the 500,000 THB has been held in your bank account for?

Another question I have is how long do you have to have the 500,000 thb in your account for? I’ve herd some say 6 months before you can apply and others say nothing so a bit confused about that
