As a Dutch citizen, can I start applying for the retirement visa, so the Non Immigrant O-90 days visa, from India? Or only from the Netherlands?

And second, if I would do this process in Thailand, would the only problem be opening a bank account?

Thank you 🙏

Anyone heard any more info on a new visa that’s supposed to come out called the “Long Stay Visa” for people who buy a condo. I saw a brief video on Facebook that also said anyone who signs a long term lease 1 year or longer can also get the visa and renew it annually. The video mentioned Phuket specifically. Any word?

My friend has been living on Koh Pha-ngan for 16 years on yearly EOS based on a Non Immi O retirement visa. Due to a misunderstanding and real clumsyness he overstayed EOS almost 3 months. He now did a border run and is back on a tourist visa.

Question: can he convert the tourist visa into a Non Immigrant O visa inside the country at KPG immigration?

Hi there,

I just discovered this group and I feel a little lost regarding all the information I found.

My wife, my daughter and I will move in Thailand in February, she will have her own Visa (non Immigrant B) and we will be related as "Non Immigrant O".

I quit my job and I was thinking to open a 'micro entreprise' (don't know how to translate it from french) so I can build websites and SaaS to french customers, from Thailand. I will create the company in few days, after Christmas break. I was working with disabled people in France. I know it's complicated to work in the same field in Thailand, so my company will not be related. I never had nether a diploma or training in coding, but I'm strong enough to build good products as a freelance (did it few years ago).

From what I understand, working in Thailand with my visa (non immigrant O) is not allowed, even if I'm not working with Thai people : I just can't work in Thailand.

... I will be crazy in few months, doing nothing but swimming pool in our new brand condo 🤷🏻‍♂️🥲

I just heard about DTV : is it possible to apply from Thailand (can't quit my family) explaining that I am creating my society ? I have proof of money (more than 20000€ are not moving in my bank account) and my family will already be in Thailand.

Any help appreciated... :)

I received my Non Immigrant O Visa today from London Thai Embassy. They have dated 23rd December (the day it was issued)to 22nd March 2026. giving (90 days)

Clearly on my application I stated arrival in Bangkok 30th January.

I fly into Bangkok Airport on January 30th.

Will Immigration stamp 90 days on my arrival?

I am hoping so

Thank you.

My wife and I plan to retire to Thailand next year, am I best applying for our Non Immigrant O visas in Australia or doing them locally when arriving in Thailand

I recently saw an agent advertising the flexibility and cost saving benefits not requiring health insurance if applying for them locally.

Interested in your feedback especially if you have entered Thailand as a tourist and taken the steps to transition to a retirement visa

Hi, I'm new to the group and need some advice about getting visas for my family.

We live in the UK and are moving to Chon Buri as my husband has been offered a job there.

He needs a Non Immigrant B single entry work visa. I need a Non Immigrant O visa, and our daughter needs a Non Immigrant ED visa.

Has anyone on here recently been through the same process and could share advice and information? I've been looking online but it's so confusing!

Many thanks.

I have just received my new passport, of course it has a different number. I will use my old passport for visa verification until I have the visa switched to the new passport.

Do I need to notify immigration of the new passport number? Non Immigrant O Marriage Visa.

Hi, I’ve just read a post on here that states that you need 400k in Thai bank “on the day of application”, for a marriage visa.

I always thought it had to be in the bank for 2 months before you could apply? Or is this rule just for extensions?

I am in Thailand on a Non Immigrant O visa(90days) and have the 800.000 in a Thai bank account and can provide the other requirements. I want to apply for a 1 year extension before the 90 days are over. The question is: Is there a limit to the amount of times one can apply/get a 1 year extension?
