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.

Question: I am trying to get my 3 month non-o (retirement) extended by 12 months. I checked the official Immigration website for necessary documents (see link), but under no 22 they mention neither TM.30 nor that you must present a lease contract. However, I have heard from people that they have been asked for both. So this is very confusing if you cannot even trust Immigration‘s own website. Does anyone know from practical experience what they ACTUALLY want to see when you go to get the extension? Many many thanks - I am getting more confused by the hour…

Lease agreement question:

Non-O Retirement

Will it make a difference for immigration if my wife's name is also on lease? She does not need require a visa.

Hua Hin Immigration

TIA

Would anyone know if you can take out a 12 month lease on a condo if you just have a tourist visa., or they just happy to take your money regardless.

Preparing for doing 90 day report in person in Hua Hin. This will be my second 90 day report. The first one was handled by the staff at the first hotel I stayed at and I didn't even need to go to the immigration office. For this second one, I have moved to another hotel and plan to stay here for a year. Other residents of this hotel are saying they just bring a copy of their lease agreement with them for 90 day reporting and no TM30 is required. Does this sound legit? I'm having trouble connecting with the hotel owner to get a copy of the TM30 receipt.

I'm currently on my first one year retirement visa. When I go to renew do I have to show a lease agreement? I bought a car and just want to spend next year exploring Thailand so won't have a permanent address.

Thanks

Hello,

I have a couple questions regarding the application process for Non O retirement in Bangkok.

After applying for the Non O retirement visa in Bangkok will I receive some official form that I can use to open a bank account in order to deposit the 800,000 Baht? I have read that banks will not open account if you have tourist visa.

Do I need to have a condo/apartment lease signed before applying for the Non O retirement visa in Bangkok?

After depositing 800,000 Baht it’s my understanding that I have to show two months of the money being in the account before the Non O retirement visa can be approved. Will immigration extend my visa or paperwork to allow for the two months or do I need to leave the country and return?

Thank you

Property Rental Question.

Property agent is requesting the 2 months deposit and 1 month in advance rent payment (3 months total) all on the day of signing the lease 1 month before move in date.

I am not questioning the 2 + 1 practice. My question is about timing of the payments.

Is all 3 months typically paid on lease signing or typically 1 month on lease signing and the 2 months deposit paid on handover / move in date?

Hi Everyone,

I heard the requirements can vary by province and also received different answers from so called experts at 2 different lawyer firms

So for Retirement Visa Extension to year #2 does Immigration Petchaburi still want 800,000 Bahts in Thai bank account 3 months prior to the extension or is it different now in my Province?

Also, for over 5 years now, I always rent the same house when am here. so does a 1 year Lease with a signed TM30 or 47 satisfy the Proof of Residence requirement?

Thanks

Hi

In case a foreigner would like to open a new bank account, the banks ask for lease agreement, Passport, VISA type & electricity/ water bill and other documents

So, as per the latest regulations which back helps to open new back account with the least number of paperwork?

Thank you so much 😊
