Hi Guys,

Quick question: I arrived in Thailand with a non imm O visa and then applied for my retirement visa. Now the 90 day starts from the arrival date or from the date of my retirement visa stamp? Thank you 🙏

Anyone can suggest a cooking course in Phuket (Bang Tao or Rawai area) that can also release documentation for dtv?

Is it necessary that the course lasts 6 months?

I would prefer 3 months as I'm not sure yet what part I want to live in, and definetely want to take part to the course.

Many thanks!

I arrived in Thailand on a non-O retirement visa on October 16th. On October 17th, I opened a bank account with Kasikornbank and transferred 900,000 baht to it. I'm renting an apartment; the owner submitted a TM30 form online to the immigration office. I bought a condominium on November 21st. The apartment building owner immediately completed a TM30 form for me and submitted it online to the immigration office. I'm going to the immigration office on December 18th to apply for a one-year extension. My question now is: Can I still use the immigration certificate, the TM30 form from November 21st, to apply for a one-year extension, or do I need to create a new TM30 form? And who should fill it out? Should I fill it out myself, or can the apartment building owner do it for me? Thank you very much for your help.

Non-o marriage visa

Hello everyone! Question for those who recently applied for non-o marriage visa in Vientiane. As I understand, you need 400k in your account at least 2 month before extending you marriage visa in local immigration. But is it also true for getting a new visa in Vientiane? Or can you deposit 400k like a week before applying for 1 year non-o multiple entry visa and then re-enter the country every 3 month without going to immigration?

In the past 2 years I got non-o multiple entry each year and had to re-enter Thailand every 3 month. But they never asked me for the 400k in the bank or 40k/month income.

Appreciate any info!!🙏

Sawadee mai.to everyone. I fill the e,visa application for family. They say ready to submit. But went come time to pay nothing is happening?. Try at least 15 time. Any one know why.

Hello, Is it possible to go to immigration after only two weeks in Thailand with "non o for retirement" and get the one year extension because the funds in bank account are over a million since a year already? or is there a minimum number of day of being in Thailand before a one year extension can be stamped ? thank you all

Have I got this right

I enter on a visa exempt.

Apply for an O-Visa, I have the requirements, and I get 90 days.

Apply for a year extension.

I have to leave after 90 days but need to get a re-entry visa to return.

I re-enter for another 90 days then leave after getting another re-entry visa which would allow me back in 7 months.

When I return can I apply for another year extension?

Thanks.

Hello, has anyone recently applied for a Non-O visa in Hanoi, Vietnam? How long does the process take? Do they ask for additional documents, and what documents are generally required? Do they require a 3-month bank statement, or only a current balance on the date of application?

My husband and I, from New Zealand, would appreciate recommendations for good Visa Agents in Hua Hin, or possibly Bangkok, to assist us in managing our visa process for retirement in Hua Hin.

Given the number of difficulties that so many people appear to be experiencing at present with either IO’s or banks we’ve decided we would prefer to spend the money on an agent to make sure the process is “watertight” and goes smoothly. As such we are keen to hear from those who have recently used agents to assist in their visa matters.

We think at present that we should look at coming in on the Non-O and will require multiple entries arrangements as we will make about three trips annually given we have family living in both NZ and Dubai that we will want to visit each year-at least while we are able.

Ages 64 and 57.

Have finances sorted to meet Non-O criteria.

Have also “tested the waters” in Thailand over the past three years to determine if right for us. Hua HIN definitely our favourite.

Is it preferable/easier to apply for an extension of stay based on marriage or thai child? Any difference in the requirements?
