Does anyone know which embassy close to thailand needs to see the shortest amount of bank statements? I divested from other things and put 500k into a thai account, but don't want to leave it there not making any returns longer then needed?

Hello from Switzerland. Thanks for admiting me in the group. For me the best is to ask for an O non immigrant visa for people over 50 years old by internet on the website. It is little bit more expensive than 60 days exemption and 1900 bahts for extension visa 30 days and you win lot's of time not waiting and making queue at the Immigration Office and have to pay for taxi go and back.

I arrived on a retirement non-O visa and stamped with an expiry of Dec 3. It took time to get a lease and bank account opened. I am transferring the required 800k in 2 parts and the transfers are taking a very long time to show up in the thai bank. It looks like the full amount will not be in the account until maybe Sept 27 or so.

What am I up against with the fact that it will be almost the 1st of December before the balance has been in place for 2 full months. Do I need to wait until then before or is it possible to go in a week or so early, even though the balance may have only been in place for 55 days, etc?

I have heard different things regarding this..much obliged if anyone knows the answer: Does one must have a visa OUTSIDE of Thailand (tourist visa for example, to GET another Visa while IN Thailand( O-Visa for example) OR can I simply come into Thailand with the now 60 day Visa Exemption stamp(and possible 30 day extension) and THEN apply for a Visa while IN Thailand(before my visa exemption time limit expires)? I ask this because I've read that one NEEDS a Visa to change to another Visa in the Kingdom of Thailand. ALSO have read that one can come to TH on a visa exemption and then get a Visa in Thailand. (Which would be easier and simpler). Would anyone specifically know? Thanks in advance, Mike D.

Where is the best immigration office in BKK to get an extension??

I got my non-O visa for 3 months (spouse visa).

how long before it expires should I go back to immigration for an extension?

Should I bring the same documents as the first time and bring my wife along with me?

Anyone tell me what they want for 'biography' ?
