Hi all, I'm trying to get an e-visa (Non-Imm O/retirement) for Thailand. I have Brazilian and US passports and am applying with my Brazilian.

The problem is that I'm currently visiting family in Canada and will fly from Vancouver to Bangkok. My understanding from reading old posts here is that one must apply for an e-visa from the country from which you'll be flying to Thailand, which is why I chose Canada instead of the US.

I don't have a Canadian visa because I entered on my American passport. The application wanted proof that I'm in Canada, for which I uploaded my air ticket from Vancouver to Thailand. I also uploaded my Thai bank statement, which shows the required 800k baht.

Unfortunately, the Thai embassy replied with:

* Other request documents: Please upload a Canada PR card, visa or permit

* Financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB or having the current balance of 800,000 THB, e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings: Please upload a bank statement with your name showing a monthly income of no less than 2,600 CAD or a current balance of 32,000 CAD

They seem to think I live in Canada and are not allowing for me to just be passing through. They also ignored my Thai bank account.

My questions: can I get an e-visa from a country I'm not resident in? If not, can I reapply from the USA and still fly to Thailand from Canada? And what's the problem with showing the 800k in my Thai bank account?

Thanks for any advice!

Hello everyone. Just thought I would post an update on my Non-Imm O visa extension. Yes, it's technically an extension of stay based on the original Non-O visa but everyone knows what I mean.

At any rate, got original Non-O visa based on marriage in May 2023 in Savannakhet when they weren't requiring financial information. It was a one year multiple entry. At the time I was living and working in Phetchaburi but my salary was less than 40,000. I tried extending down there, but they wouldn't accept my salary plus earnings from online teaching. So, I just waited and at the end of one year I got a 60-day extension to visit Thai wife.

In the meantime I had moved to Bangkok and got a teaching job with a salary higher than 40,000 baht. I started that job in March of 2024. Today I applied for my extension in Bangkok with paperwork from my school and other than a few minor hiccups, which we were able to fix without leaving immigration, got my "under consideration " stamp. I will go back on October 15 for my 1-year stamp.

Because I did it based on income of at least 40,000 baht per month, I didn't need to show any bank account information. Only proof of salary from school (3 months) and proof of tax payment. The rest of the stuff were the normal documents for Non-O extension based on marriage to a Thai.

Hope this helps. Really not too much work since I had the necessary documents from my job.

I have an 8:30 appointment tomorrow 6-3-24 at Chang Watthana for a one year extension of my Non-Imm O visa. Yesterday, 4-3-24, I received my bank letter, transaction history and updated my passbook with a deposit that day. Do I need to make another deposit on 6-3-24, the same day as my appointment? If so, do I also need a photocopy of the page showing the deposit on that morning?

Thanks for any insight !

After having re-applied for my Non-Imm O and receiving the final stamp in Nov. 2023, I am due beginning of Feb. for my first 90 DR.

My question is, do they still require it to be in person at CW, or can I do it online?

Also, is there an office somewhere near Lumphini Pk. for 90 DR. or is it only at CW.

Thanks

i am in USA, plan to apply non-imm O retirement over 50 though embassy washington DC. if when i come to Thailand and complete the 800,000 bank account before applying for extension, can i bring that money to deposit or does it need to show international transfer?

I am Canadian.

I entered Thailand visa exempt 16Jan2023, exited 4Feb2023. Fly in and out

I reentered 28Feb2023, exited 9May2023

45 day exemption still in place with extension. Fly in and out

I applied and received a Non-Imm O visit family and entered 13Jul2023 with the intention of applying for 1 year extension.

My Thai citizen wife was not able to be in the country when I qualified to apply and now cannot make it back in time for me to even apply for a 60 day extension.

Will there be any problem to go to Pedang Besar by bus and return on visa exempt ? Can I go over and return same day?

Any other advice?

If it is advisable to use a border run agency, can anyone recommend a reliable service?

Please confirm if my understanding is correct.

I received a Non-IMM O visa (married to Thai wife) with multiple entry.

I entered Thailand on 6/4/23 and departed on 8/31/23 (89 days).

My plan is to return to Thailand on 11/1/23 and get stamped in for 90 days. Before the 90 days expire, I plan to leave Thailand to visit a neighboring country (probably Laos) for about a week, then return to Thailand and get stamped in for another 90 days before returning to the USA on or about 3/1/24.

Hi, I have been away out of Thailand for just over 2 years. Previously I was here on the Non-Imm O visa. I will be arriving back in Bangkok on the 13th August.

I will be applying for the Non-Imm O again. I have the required amount in the bank for more than the necessary time. I will be arriving as a Tourist on 30 day visa.

Without delay, I want begin the process at CW. Understanding how things change and are updated often, What forms would I need to have prepared, and do I need the bank letter verifying my funds before apply?

Thanks

Hello all… I have received approval for my application for a six month ME tourist visa. I booked flights into Thailand, out of Thailand and back in again. However, this approval seems to indicate a 90 day stay. I presume that this is the three month visa…? However it also seems to be a multi entry visa…. Did I do something wrong…? Am I reading this right….?

My son is on an Ed visa- and my trailing visa- is a Non-Imm O- both 90 days. When arriving, I showed documents to immigration, and after realized our stamps seem to reflect- just a 45 day tourist entry. Isn't this supposted to reflect 90 days on the entry stamp? And now, do I need to go to immigration to sort out? If there is anyone out there that knows of what to do, I would be appreciative of any info.! I have booked ourselves an immigration appt. so that they can check our status.
