Hi People, My Non O visa expires on 7th Jan 2026, what is the next stage to remain here in Thailand on a permanant basis.

I have sufficient funds in the bank for over the last 2 months.

I have a TM 7, but is that the correct form to stay here.

Hi to all of you!

I have a question concerning the new rules with visa exempt and visa extension.

If I understand well we can technically obtain 2 visa exempt in a calendar year and for the first exempt a 30 days extension and for the second visa exempt a possible 7 days extension.

Now, if I arrived in october 17 and got a 30 days visa extension until january 14:

1- if I go for a border run I should have an other visa exempt;

2- for the visa extension will I have only a possible 7 days extension or because I will be in a new calendar year I would be able to get a 30 days extension.

Also I'm flying back in Canada on april 15 which gave me a 6 months trip.

If I can't get an other 30 days extension I will simply spend a month or in Laos or in Malaysia and come back for the 2 last months of my 6 months trip in Thailand.

I'm 71 years old and spending 6 months a year out of Canada is good enough for me.

And yes next time I will probably apply for a MEV (multi entry visa).

Thanks to all and please if you got nothing positive or usefull about my case I just rather hear nothing from you.

Thanks again!

Do the consular officers at Thai embassies in the U.S. tend to overlook simple alcohol related misdemeanors (e.g DUI, Public Intox) for Non-O 90-day (retirement) with complete documentation and more than sufficient financial standing/funds?

Approximately how much does it cost to employ an agency to get a retirement visa while in Thailand?

Hello, my husband had issued non-o marriage visa thru Vientiane and would like to cross the land border in Nong Khai, would it be a smooth cross?

Hello,

I am planning to apply for a Non-O (family) visa for Thailand and I am considering a few consulates in the region. I am specifically looking at:

• Savannakhet (Laos)

• Vientiane (Laos)

• Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)

• Hanoi (Vietnam)

Could you please share your experience:

• Where are the highest chances of approval?

• Where is the process faster and more reliable?

• Are there any special considerations I should be aware of?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Question, how many days before my expiration date can I apply for my non O retirement extension?

Thank you

The Royal Thai Embassy in London only states that you must show financial evidence of at least £11,000 (≈ 500,000 THB), for example via bank statements or a sponsorship letter. It does not specify how long that money must have been in your account. Anyone from the Uk been turned down for not having it in there for less than 3 months?
