Hi everyone, would you please be able to provide recommendations for a reputable and licensed visa agent in Bangkok who can assist with a Non O retirement visa and opening of a bank account. Thanks!

I'm on non o retirement visa that's up for renewal January next year. I usually apply for renewal December. My question is, my passport expires April 2027, so will have 15 months left on it at time of visa renewal. Is it a requirement to have at least 18 months left on passport, or will I be alright to get new passport after visa renewal. Thanks.

Hi. Im trying to make sense of this DTV and Im constantly coming up with more questions the more I read!!!!

1) Is the 10.000 baht fee the full cost of the visa? (Without using an agent)

2) If accepted, do you only need to complete the first 6 months of the activity in the whole 5 years?

3) If accepted, are you required to leave EVERY 180 days and if so, how long do you need to be outside Thailand for and when you return, do you get another 180 day stamp?

4) Is teaching online accepted?

I am over 50 and would qualify for the Non-O retirement visa but I want to continue receiving an income rather than just watch my own bank account reduce as I age! You cannot jump from a retirement visa and then start working or at least that is what I was advised but that was over 5 years ago

Online teaching supplies me with enough to live on easily in Thailand so I would much prefer to take this route if I am eligible.

I have the funds required (500.000)

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been reading through some posts here and I have a few visa questions I hope someone can help with:

For the DTV (Digital Nomad) visa — is it allowed to sell products online while living in Thailand? Some people say it’s not allowed to work or sell, others say it’s okay as long as your income comes from outside Thailand. Which is correct?

For the Non-O Retirement visa — if I apply by myself (not using an agent), is the chance of rejection high?

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your experience or advice! 🙏

Can I use 800,000 Baht in cash to open a bank account.

I am thinking that bringing £ over from UK will get me the best exchange rate to Baht

TIA

Hi, I'm on a Non O, Retirement visa, and have been using monthly income for extensions. I am thinking of changing to 800k in the bank. My extension is due on 26 September. When would I need to have the money in the bank, and would I have to have it shown as being from a foreign source?

As a side question, I have noticed in 2020 the extension was to 24th Sept, and in 2021 and since has been stamped 26 Sept. No big deal, I'm just curious on that point.

Hello everyone!

I just arrived here on May 17 from the US after applying for and receiving a Non-O Marriage visa in April on the advice on Brandon Thurkettle. Thanks again Brandon! Unfortunately immigration informed me yesterday that I made a mistake by not having our US marriage license stamped at The Embassy in Los Angeles. So………it looks like we will have to go to Cambodia and apply for the Non-O retirement visa. Then wait 7-10 days to get it emailed back and start over. My question is this; is there a way around having to do that or should I just resign myself to some time in Cambodia? I have heard the agents can work around it but I also hear they do some things that the Thai government might not approve of. Or that are outright illegal. So I don’t really want to use them.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Is tm.30 necessary for a 12 month extension on a non-o retirement visa? Or tm.47 is good enough.

Ok.. so I’m here on 60 day visa exempt and want to get a Non O retirement visa(90 days and extend for one year)

If understand correctly I can apply online using evisa while here and once I have the confirmation email, print it out and do a boarder run and this then gets stamped for 90 days?

Hi everyone,

I’m an American currently in Thailand looking to apply for a Non-O Retirement Visa (age 65). I’m considering using an agency to assist with the process for peace of mind and to reduce stress.

Could anyone here share what the *average cost* should be for an agency to handle this process?

Thanks so much for any guidance! 🙏
