Figure some may be interested in bank account opening information. Entered on Non O Monday. Went to immigration got the resident form. Had to show my passport stamped non o and my lease agreement for place I’m renting. I asked for two copies of the residency forms from immigration.

Now the bank hopping began but wasn’t horrible. Went to 3 and they each gave me their reason why I couldn’t open the account there. 4th bank was asked for passport showing non o and forms received from immigration and a form from my cell phone provider stating the phone account is mine. Lady spent a lot of time helping I opened two separate savings account one with an ATM card I will use for monthly deposits and spending the other used for holding the funds required for retirement visa I will leave in that account.

So just posting to give my experience and to help hopefully it doesn’t discourage others because a bank or two or three say no, just keep trying.

TM30 question. Last day of my one year lease is 25 November 2025. I returned home today after a few days in a Thai hotel in holiday. I believe: Check in should be 10 October and check out should be 25 November (both 2025). Is that correct??​ Trying to help the real estate agent get it done correctly. If there should be any changes please let me know.

Hey everyone. I'm doing my retirement visa renewal this Tuesday at the Jontiem office. I have all the documents but here is the question. My leasing agent gave me a copy of the owners passport for the condo. Now should there be lines on it and his signature? This copy is just the passport photo page no lines or signature. Thanks

I'm applying at the KL embassy, i picked medical which may have been wrong, but i've been undergoing PRP/stem cell treatments on my knees and shoulders with ample proof for the last 6 months.

Anyways, I believe I can get those figured out, however, other request documents such as... Other request documents ( Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc. )

baffles me. I currently do not have a lease agreement signed, as it would be crazy to sign a long term lease without knowing that i've been approved for the visa. How do i deal with this?

Dear people who applied from SG:

Do you absolutely need lease agreement/title deed to prove that you are staying in Singapore? are there other documents that i can use for this?

Is TM30 an absolute requirement for tourist visa 30 day extension?

UPDATE: went to LAK SI Immigration office for the 30 day extension and a TM30 was NOT required.

I did provide my lease agreement in lieu and it was sufficient. However, I too would recommend getting a TM30 just to be safe. Thanks all for your help below!

Hello

I am currently applying for the DTV visa from South Korea and have received an additional document request:

"Proof of Accommodation in Thailand: Lease Agreement or Invitation letter to the Royal Thai Embassy, Seoul. (Typed with sponsor’s signature including reason, period, pp no) to certify your stay (Upload Sponsor's PP and ID copy, etc)"

Since this visa cannot be applied for from within Thailand, how is it possible to submit a Lease Agreement? It is unrealistic to sign a rental contract online without even seeing the place.

Has anyone else encountered this request? If so, I would appreciate it if you could share how you resolved this issue.

Hello everyone.

I am planning to get my first one-year marriage-based Non-O visa extension soon.

I live in Bangkok and I know I need to do it at the Chaeng Wattana immigration office.

I have a few questions, and I would greatly appreciate your help.

1. Regarding the necessary documents from the bank proving that I have a deposit of 400,000 baht in the account for the previous two months, what exactly are these documents and how many are there?

The list of required documents says:

- Letter from the bank certified the account in the bank of not less than 400,000 baht

- A copy of the bank passbook dated as of the application submission date, showing a balance of no less than 400,000 baht.

Can I go to any branch of my bank in Bangkok and ask for this letter? Do I perhaps need to request a separate account statement for the last two months (or more months)?

2. Another thing that interests me is this:

- Copy of House lease agreement (I have this of course), Identification and household registration of the owner.

Since I have copies of these last two documents, signed by the owner of the apartment where I live, is that sufficient because I don't have the original documents with me and the owner does not live in Bangkok?

3. The next thing I'm interested in are these 4 photos that are needed (two in front of the building and two inside the apartment).

What kind of photos are they?

Can I take a picture with my phone and then print it somewhere on photo paper?

4. And the last thing is this:

- Map of an applicant house in Thailand.

What kind of map is that, a printed google map of the area where the building I live is located?

Thanks in advance.
