I'm travelling to Thailand on an o visa to apply for spouse 1 year ( married IN Thailand ) I understand I need to put 400000 bhat into a thai bank account does that money have to come from England or can I source it in thailand?
Hi All I applied for a non-immagrant O visa with the Los Angeles consulate back on 03APR. Status is at "pending document check". Any idea how long these are taking to process? Thank you!
I am curious to know if anyone has been in a similar situation as me. I am currently on a Non-B visa with a work permit and am an American citizen. My wife has an O visa as a dependent and is an Austrian citizen.
I recently got a new job, that is a remote job for a non-Thai company. I want to change my visa over and my wife's over to the DTV visa for a number of reasons. It's the actual right thing to do, it's cheaper, etc.
My question is, has anyone successfully change their thai work permit and visa over to a DTV visa? Mine doesn't expire until August, so also curious if you had to cancel it before?
For those with dependents on their DTV visa, has anyone done it with a spouse of a different nationality than their own? Did you have to get your own DTV visa approved first, before they could apply for theirs? If so, how long did this take you and where did you do it?
It's a bit of a complex situation and we're thinking of canceling our visas before they expire and go to a neighboring country to apply for our DTV visas. Thanks for any advice!

Applying for an O extension at Cheang Watthana today and was told to come back for this reason:
my visa expires on march 28. I was able to book an appointment for today, the 17th. I got my bank balance up to 800k on January 24, 2 months and a few days to season or so I thought. I did not know 2 months seasoning is calculated back from the day you’re at immigration to ask for an extension, NOT 2 months back from the day your visa expires. I have to go back March 24-28.
I've asked at immigration but I'm not sure I got the correct advise, I'm prepping docs to re-apply a further year O visa based on retirement, does anyone know the form number (or title) that I need to complete ? TIA

You can show up on the 60 day visa exempt entry stamp, get the 800K baht in your account then apply FIRST for the 90 day Non-O visa for 2000baht at the immigration office, then wait until you have the funds seasoned 2 months and apply for the year extension for 1900baht
You could get the Non-O visa from the thai consulate in your country before you come here. THEN apply for the extension after the 800K baht has been in your account for 2 months
Getting the 90 day Non-O visa before you come here would save you two trips to immigrations (applying for the 90 day Non-O and then going back to get it in your passport 2 weeks later)
Yep the 800K baht has to be in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the year extension..
(NOTE: in Jomtien immigrations the 800K baht has to be in your account for 2 months before you apply for the initial Non-O visa as well)
I would get the 90 day Non-O before you come here as then it's "out of the way" and you can concentrate on getting the 800K baht in the bank and letting it season the 2 months required so you can apply for the year extension.
I'm on O visa now 800k route last 2 years. Last year sent 66k month but after extended I took 800k out instead leave 3 months. Thinking let visa expire. Then apply new O visa on 65k route. New application need be 800k first or is 12 months 65k route accepted? Reason for let expire is I'm leaving Thailand for 3 months and renewal date later in year suits me better. Thanks
3) Bring wife and child to Thailand (korean wife/Australian Child)
My thinking:
a) arrive in Thailand, visa on arrival, 2months stay. (Or apply for a Tourist visa before leaving Australia)
b) start applying for a retirement visa (O- visa) on second month.
c) before the end of my 6 month stay, I'll have a retirement visa, and hopefully, obtained in Early November, which is a better month for me to renew in the future
Doing this, it lays down the groundwork to get my wife and child as dependent from my visa.
*As a few years back, I recall we couldn't apply all at the same time, wife and child had to be outside of Thailand and once I got my Retirement visa (O-Visa) I then could do a dependance visa from my Visa. (still the same deal?)*
Wife thinks it's better if she gets a guardian visa for herself and child and I get my own visa(Ovisa)
My wife and I are thinking of getting O visa based on retirment. I know we have to bring in 800000bt each. Does anyone know if we will be taxed on this
