Hi all. American in USA applying for Non-immigration O retirement visa. Want to be in Thailand asap!

The evisa ask for a flight number and hotel accommodation. What do I do here? Not planning on booking one way flight or hotel until I know that visa is approved.

What other pitfalls will I run into filing the evisa for non-imm O?

Thanks!

How long does it take to do a 90-day report at Bangkok Chaeng Wattana immigration without an appointment?

I see people go there very early but the earliest i can get there is around 9am, since I need to send my son to school

Thanks!

Hi, I’ve got a question. Can I travel around the country while my visa’s still being processed? I applied using a hotel in Phnom Penh, but I’ll be checking out soon and want to go to Siem Reap. Thanks in advance.

For those needing information about filing for your 90 day stay notification this is what I found on the Thai Immigration site - I just completed my first filing (did the whole thing online) - very straight forward and took me approximately 10 minutes.

Hi everyone:)

I'm an Italian woman and I'm coming to Thailand with my 75-year-old mother. We've booked a 75-day return ticket with Emirates (from December 15, 2025, to February 28, 2026).

We'd like to know what we need to do for the visa.

How does it work for a 75-day stay?

Thank you in advance.

Finally made it back bkk with a non immigrant visa issued by Thai embassy in Uk. No issues at immigration . Looking at getting a multiple rentry from Thai immigration Bangkok . Apart form tm8, photos and the rest , do you need a residency certificate ?

I'm applying at the London embassy and I've been seeing that when they ask for additional documents they seem to ask for an actual flight booking. Does it matter if this flight booking is different to the intended flight I entered at the start of my application?

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

I submitted my application on 1/10 and approved 8/10. This group was super helpful so thank you to all people that commented on my posts to make the process easier.

I thought I would share my experience for anyone who are business owners with multi-layer company structures across international borders.

I am a new property business owner, I own houses for rental and also buy houses to flip in USA. I am a UK citizen so my company structure is layered. The importance was showing the link of my personal name, that owns the UK/Irish companies. Then demonstrate the link of the UK/Irish companies that sit within the USA LLC that own the properties.

I am also a chartered surveyor and an examiner for the RICS (Chartered Institution).

I submitted the following to the London embassy:

1. Covering letter explaining my business and professional profile

2. Link to RICS website showing my RICS profile

3. RICS SLA agreement for being an examiner

4. Company Registration of UK/Irish/USA companies

5. Operating agreement of USA company (showing my UK/Irish company member listing

6. Title ownership documents of 3nr properties

7. Bank statements from all business accounts and personal bank account. Business ones just showed balance, personal showed 3 months which evidenced money coming in from business accounts.

7 days to approve, no additional documents requested. No interview, no flight tickets, no rental contract and no TM30. However I would recommend submitting these as I’ve noticed this has been asked for other applications.

This was a complex application so a little nervous it wouldn’t be approved with my companies only being a few months old. My business accounts have a very high level of money in them to purchase properties so that may have contributed to the easier approval.

Anyway thought I’d share my experience in case anyone submitting are company owners with complex structures!

is there a new requirement for a bank statement when transferring visa stamp from Old passport to new passport? Has anyone done this recently? What has bank statement got to do with transferring of visa?
