Hi, I’m visiting Thailand from Australia and did an e-visa for 84 days (expires early October) but at the airport my stamp at the airport has an expiry date of 10 Sept and hand written notation saying evisa. Do I need to worry? Thanks

Hello,

I got my non o visa based on marriage on the thai e-visa website via London UK.

I’m so very happy about this and also grateful from all the feedback I have had from you all to help me.

Thank you to you all.

My visa says it’s valid from July 13th to October 10th 2025.

And it’s got me thinking.

I planned to return on September 25th 2025 at the end of my season for several months.

However I thinking of a quick trip earlier as I’ve mentioned in my previous posts I work in the tourism industry which is very slow in the UK with sales down this year.

Hence I have no work from July 30th to August 17th 2025.

And I have already booked flights to return at the end of the season to enter Thailand on September 25th 2025 to stay for 6-7 months.

Can I do the following as I don’t want to wait in London without work for 17 days from July 31st to mid August & I’d rather be with my wife.

Fly to Thailand entering on July 31st 2025 for 2 weeks of August.

Apply for my visa extension in those first 2 weeks of August.

Then fly back to the UK to work with a reentry permit.

And return to Thailand entering on September 25th 2025 for my long stay.

When do I have to season the 400,000baht in a thai bank account?

(I already have an SCB bank account now)

Is it on the day I plan to I arrive back August 31st?

Or should it be before that in my case?

Also an extra question after I arrive back on September 25th 2025 can I use another re-entry permit to visit my mother who has been unwell in Australia in mid October as it is her and my birthday then?

Is any of this possible?

Thank you so much 🙏

My yearly extension of stay for non-O marriage ends Sept 4th.

I’ll leave Thailand next week and come back end of August 20th, by plane.

Then I’ll leave Thailand again Sept. 16th to my home country (Germany) and come back in November.

What will happen August 20th when I enter Thailand (by plane)

1. with a Reentry Permit: Can I stay until September 19th (after expiry Sept 4th of my extension of stay)?

2. without a Reentry Permit: Will a get a normal 60 day visa-exemption stay ? (I understand that the extension of stay becomes invalid)

Thanks in advance.

Background:

My travel schedule makes it difficult to do the extension as usual b/c my travel collides with the timelines for application and ‘under consideration’ period.

So my idea is to get a new Non-Imm o visa (marriage) multi-entry yearly in my home country before returning in Nov.

The visa itself shouldn’t be a problem. I clearly fulfill all the requirements and did it a few times before .

(sorry, if answered before. I failed to find it)

Can someone please confirm that a re-entry permit can be purchased and used for a 90 day Non-O visit Thai family visa. I may need to leave and re-enter within the 90 days. I do understand that the visa will still expire 90 days after first entry.

I’m on a 60 day extension of a 90 day non o. Need to apply for a 1 year marriage extension. My 2 month funds seasoning is up on the exact day my leave expires. Is it still possible to apply? Someone told me need 14 days left on leave when applying. Thanks in advance for any info.

Just got my Non O visa and looking at the Digital Arrival Card, they are asking for my departure date. I'm looking to permanently retire there so what have people been doing to get around this instead of buying a return ticket. I really don't want to purchase a ticket and only get a credit towards another ticket in the future as it'll likely never be used.

Thanks In advance.

How many times can you apply for the 90 day non o visa ? If a person came into Thailand on this visa from uk and went back to uk after the 90 days could they then after a month apply for another 90 day non o visa ?

What about leaving Thailand with a passport and entering with a new passport but with a re-entry permit stamped on old passport?...I know that I/we will have to show both passports to the IO but can I/we write the re-entry permit number into the "visa Number" space on the TDAC even if the passport number is different?

Hello. Applying from Lisbon. Can they invalidate an application for delay in the delivery of additional requested documents? My company is taking a few days to deliver a document they asked for 😔

Thanks

Hi all, just thought I'd put something up here about my experience opening a bank account today. I am currently in Thailand on a Non O based around my son, this is my first Non O and I needed the bank account to apply for my visa extension. TLDR Bangkok bank wont give you a bank account on an initial Non O since the rule changes so use KBank for new accounts!

The first branch I visited was the Exchange Tower Bangkok bank. The lady I spoke to wasnt very polite and it was clear she didn't want anything to do with me. She asked for a copy of my passport, my driving license, my sons birth certificate, my girlfriends ID and a copy of my sons passport. When I showed her printed copies of all of this she told me I needed a letter from a UK embassy that confirmed my passport was truly my passport. At this point I thanked her for her time and left.

The second branch I visited was the Bangkok bank opposite Sukhumvit Soi 11. This was a very different experience, the lady was very polite and started to process my application until she noticed the stamp in my passport was only for 3 months. At this point she explained that with the recent changes to Thai banking, Bangkok bank will no longer give bank accounts to anyone who hasn't already extended their visa. Basically anything less than 4 months and the banks policy is to refuse you.

The third and final branch I went to was the Kasikorn Bank in the Two Pacific Place building in Sukhumvit, just a short walk from the Nana BTS station. The lady was very helpful, only required to see an electronic version of my visa, an original passport, sons birth certificate and my girlfriends national ID card. I was only in the branch for about 30 minutes and I left with a new account, a functioning app on my phone and she even gave me a little tour of the KPlus banking app before I left.
