Hi All. I hope everyone had a nice Songkran. My phone didn’t survive it! Sadly 💦

Quick question.

I’m currently in Thailand on a 90 day non O. I plan to apply for my marriage visa at my local immigration office in Nonthaburi on day 60 (I heard you maybe able to do it after 45 days, not sure if that’s true?) So I take with me:

- My passport

- My wife will be with me so she’ll have her Thai i.d

- Marriage Certificate/documents

- Supporting documents as proof of the 400,000 bht security deposit in a Thai bank account are as follows:

* Updated bank book or passbook.

* Bank letter stating that the money was deposited to the account from an overseas source not less than 2 months prior.

Anything else I need to bring with me or is that it?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Greetings all.

I am in Hua Hin.

I need to do my retirement extension this Thursday/Friday (when Imm. reopens) due to a sudden bereavement in the family at home as need to go and may well not be back before expiry.

I meet all the 800k method requirements.

My bank is Kasikorn. I think they're open Wednesday

Can anyone current and local tell me if it's OK to get the bank paperwork Wednesday so I can go to Imm. early doors Thursday?

Also, do I still need to transact and update my passbook on Thursday before I go?

Can't ask Imm. as it's shut and on a time constraint.

Thankyou for any kind assistance.

G’day expat Pom living in Oz, looking to find out, review and move to Thailand in our retirement

Will endeavour to check out all the posts and advice and try not to ask novice questions 😬

Hi team, I am brand new to the group. Appreciate you allowing me to join.

I retired in the UK recently at 60 and came over here on the visa on arrival. I already have a house with my Thai wife in Bang Saray. I now need to apply for my retirement visa.

I have had a Thai bank account for a few years and can show I have enough funds. We have taken some pictures together in different rooms in our house, the garden and in front of the house number. I believe I also need a pinned google map showing the house location. That’s as far as I have got.

Can I please ask what else I need ?

Cheers,

Paul

1. If I apply for a new DTV, do I need to show 5,000 THB in the same bank account, or can I use multiple bank accounts?

2. When extending DTV after 180 days stay, do you need to pay tax to Thai government?

Sorry, just out of interest, US passport, 50-plus of age:

Suppose during visits to Thailand you managed to open a Thai bank account in y'r name. Then you transfered international 65k฿-plus into that account for at least 12 months. After that you bought a NON IMM O visa, based on Retirement in the US and after arriving in Thailand AND after 60 days you ask for a year extension based on retirement, can you use these 12 international transfers instead of 800k฿ (2 months before already deposited) on the bank ? I'm a bit confused because I read many times that for the first year extension you need that 800k฿ in the bank. Thanks !

I work and live in taipei, due to some reasons (employers) I have 3 bank accounts (under my name) with about 300k thai baht each. Combined they would get around 1 million. I was about to apply for dtv (soft powers) in taipei when I read of a folk who got denied cuz he had a similar situation and it seemed that 500k should be in a single account. Now I can easily move money from an account to the other but then I should wait 3 months before applying for the dtv. Has anyone gotten any issues by showing the proof of 500k on more than a single bank account? (just to clarify, money has been on those for over 3 months but none of those accounts has excedeed 500k)

Hi all, I noticed this post [members only]/ from about 2 months ago, but I would like to ask what are the requirements for applying first time around, not for extension. I just re-entered Thailand today on a 60-day visa exemption. My Thai child will be born in a few weeks. Can I apply inside Thailand (Udon) or do I have to apply at Vientiane? Can I go from visa-exempt to Non-Imm O based on Thai child? Will it take the form of an initial 90-day visa, followed by an extension for the year? How long does 400,000 THB need to be in the bank for? Any other requirements specific to the first time application? Many thanks! 🙏

Is it still possible to get the multiple entry spousal visa valid for one year with 400k seasoned for two months in the bank from Savannahket?
