Just got approved in Hanoi today.

Submitted my application last Wednesday, so 6 days in total.

No question asked, I think I prepared my application well thanks to everyone who replied to my questions here.

Thank you all, great group !

Have a wonderful day and good luck to all future applicants.

Hello everyone. My partner is British, he’s 73 years old. He’s entered Thailand on 15 November by Multiple tourist visa apply in Uk which will expire on 14 January. He would like to live in Thailand for 6 months.

Question!

Should he extend tourist visa on 10 January? So he can live 1 month and Then he fly to Singapore for 7 days on 14 February. He fly back to Thailand. So he can stay in Thailand 60 days?.

Or on 10 January he fly to Singapore and apply for non o visa then fly back to Thailand so he can stay 90 days?.

He booked the flight back to uk on 15 May 2026.

He got 2 strokes which is difficult for him to walk.

Many thanks.

Has anyone submitted multiple bank accounts to add up to 500 K? I could transfer it around, but a bit complicated just wondering if anyone showed multiple accounts

Hopefully a simple question, for a Non O retirement renewal if I used the 65k per month option can it it be in more than one transfer per month? I have sources of income that exceed the 65k in total but not individually and the individual components may vary from month to month, if ever there was a short month I could make a transfer from savings to meet any shortfall, thanks

I have just been quoted 49000thb for arranging a retirement visa!!!!

Having read peoples experiences DIY I might just give it a go (as long as it's not stressful!!)

Applying for non O maryiage/family Thai Embassy London, The marriage docs, do you need updated marriage certificate. I am still on original one , 2007. It's not an issue if need a new one, our Amphur is good. Kor Lor 2....?

I applied for non o retirement in Sydney unfortunately it was not approved until 24hrs after i arrived in Koh Samui so my question is will bank accept all details I havr and allow opening an account or will I have to head to Singapore for the day to activate the visa before bank will accept? I dont plan on staying long term until February 🤔

I arrived in Thailand on the 29th of November with my Non O visa planning to retire. TM30 sorted at local immigration then on to Kasikorn bank to open an account. Even though I had all the correct documents and my Thai girlfriend with me to translate I was refused. They said I needed a yellow house book. We went to the local government office to ask and were told it would take 6 months. Impossible as I only have 90 days to get this sorted. On to another branch, no success again. OK let's try Krungtai , 45 minutes queueing before being told no again.

What do I have to do to open an account here?

I tried the above banks because they have good reputations and I am avoiding Bangkok bank.

Should I keep trying different branches of the big 2 or are there other options? I'm in Bueng kan province on the border with Laos. I would appreciate any input.

I have a Thai daughter and I plan on applying for the 1 year Non O visa next year. Does the 400,000 baht need to be in a Thai bank account or can it be a US bank account or Wise?? Also how am I supposed to get a Thai bank account if I don’t have the visa yet? Has anyone tried opening the bank account with just a birth certificate of their child? I’m getting mixed info on the internet so I just need more clarification. Thank you!

Has anyone experienced having their bank account transfered an amount that completes the required 12kUSD less than 3 months before applying? Any issues? (thinking on applying from Vietnam or HK)
