I just extended my 60 day tourist visa which will expire on Sept 11. Is it possible to apply for and get a retirement visa through an agent before then?

Hi, I'm applying for Non-O Visa and would like to know how to fill out the online application properly ! My goal is to apply for Non OX Visa ; yet me without a bank account in Thailand, the Thai embassy in France suggests me to enter with Non-O, get a rental, open a bank account, and then switch to Non-OX in Thailand.

I intend to stay in Thailand for 90 days to make sure I can receive Non-OX. Before finding a rental, I plan to stay at a hotel for the first 7 days of my stay........

Is it alright if I only answer 7 days for the hotel accommodation in my Non-O application, without answering where to stay for the rest of 83 days ?? 🤔

if not, what is your advice ?? 🤔

Again, I will find a rental in Thailand as soon as I arrive ; but at this moment I just have no idea where it will be........Million thanks ! 🙏🙏

Hi everyone,

I’ve been digging into the latest updates on visas for Thailand, especially around DTV and retirement options. Some of the changes seem small on paper but could make a big difference for those of us planning longer stays. Curious if anyone here has gone through the process recently and noticed anything new or unexpected?

On a side note, while sorting out my long-term plans here, I’ve also been keeping an eye on the US stock market. With all the swings lately, it’s been tricky deciding whether to hold or move things around. Feels like the same kind of patience and timing we need for visa applications.

Would love to hear your experiences

Hi. For the past 4 years, I have been a frequent visitor to Thailand, averaging around 7 months per year, in a two trip total. I know i should apply for a retirement visa but having a family back home, it has stopped me from making the move. Last March , while returning to Thailand from a 3 night stay in Vietnam, I was stopped at Thai immigration and questioned about spending too much time in Thailand and not having a proper visa. The agent let me enter Thailand again but informed me that I will be flagged and that I will need a visa for the next time. I will be returning to Thailand again next month after being in my home country for two months. I have a VR visa which I applied for. My question is, will I have a problem with immigration?

Thank you in advance for your help.

6 days left until my retirement visa expires. Is it possible to change to tourist visa before the retirement visa expires, and not have to leave the country?

Need to transfer 400k for my nonO extension based on marriage through WISE.

Malaysian bank regulations stated that max per transfer not more than MYR30k per/day = +-227k Baht.

Would it be a problem if I make it into TWO transfer of 200k Baht per/day?

And, reason I should choose long terms living expenses right, as to mark it as international transfer, to Kasikorn Bank in this case.

Thanks 🙏🏻

I have a thai husband. And soon we want to relocate to thailand with our two dutch kids.

Not planning on making the kids thai yet. I want to work but cannot work in the thai company my husband will build because we need a work peemit and more thai in the company.

Othwr ideas for my service /digital nomad work in thailand?

On the 90 day reporting to immigration, this will be my first time to report , therefore my question is , do I just calculate out the 90 days from when I entered the country or does immigration notify you ? , thank you in advance for any feedback back .

Looking for advice on the cost of a work visa in pattaya and the best agent to use. I am married to a thai national.

I renew my Non-O visa every year in July. So my next renewal is July 2026. I would prefer to have renewal in December - January each year, is it possible to change?
