Hello.

I have been a regular visitor to Thailand for many years and now is the time to stay permanently.

I will be applying for a 90 day non immigrant visa online here in the UK and then after depositing the necessary funds in a Thai bank account will wait the 60 days before heading to my local immigration office in Bueng Gan to apply for a retirement visa. On the official Thai embassy website it says that if I apply to retire in the UK I must provide a medical certificate and police clearance. But if applying in Thailand it says that these "may be requested ". My question is, will I definitely need these certificates? Or is it a case of some immigration offices or officers being more or less stringent. I do want to be prepared especially as I am selling up and leaving sunny Devon forever.

I look forward to any advice 👍

Went to Kasikorn bank yesterday and got my letter from them and my updated pass book after 1 transaction and my bank statement. 30 mins and no problems. Today I went to immigration for the purpose of obtaining my years extension of stay following on from my non o visa. 3 hours waiting in the queue and 30 mins for the immigration officer to process the paperwork. No problems. No Agent used. MEV also attained. Everything went smoothly and now sorted. Just info for Everyone , if you do things correctly, it's a doddle. Good luck to all.

Hi , my non-o e-visa application based on retirement has been on processing, pending approval since 1st October at London thai embassy. I've not been asked to submit any further documents or photos. I put an expected date of arrival in Thailand as 29/11/25 . Is this normal ?

Hi, I'm Australian on non O retirement first extension. Have met both 800 000 and more

than 65 000 each month but to change to monthly would I need consulate letter for proof of income? At the moment can change to marriage version, but wanted to take out all of the 800k

Hello everyone! I hope somebody can help clarify the following, since I've heard different answers to the same question.

While applying (say, in Vietnam), can I return to Thailand and wait here?, or do I need to stay in Vietnam until the Visa is approved?

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, I couldn't find anything when searching for this topic in previous posts.

Many thanks in advance :)

For the marriage visa is there still a multiple re- entry permit or just single , thank you

Hi . I submitted an online application for a 90 day non immigrant ( married to a Thai ) visa on the 1st in the Uk . Got an email on the 3rd asking for colour copies of the my Thai marriage certificate and wife’s Thai id . No further communication or update since the 3rd : it has been 8 working days since the 3rd. I assume this is well within the advertised time to consider. When should I start getting worried

Hello, when I apply for the non o visa in home country and let us say I will get it in October but I will arrive in Thailand only in December. Then I do not have the time anymore to deposit the 800k in a Thai bank account to sit there for 2 months before I can apply for the extension of 1 year. How does that work?
