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! 🙏

Has anyone here, over 50, brought their wife who is under 50 to Thailand. They got a non-o retirement visa and the wife got a dependent visa. I read this process of getting a depedent visa could be difficult and may not be successful, so I'd like to know about other people's experience doing this.

I just looked at the Thailand evisa website (UK )

My intention was to look at what types of documentation are required to be completed.

I was surprised that the 90 day non o retirement visa is no longer an option

Can someone advise further

I have a non o retirement visa which i had fo 9 years,i will go back home june 2026. What i want to be sure about is: My non o visa needs to be renewed on 26 november 2025 but my passport expires on 2nd of august 2026, will i still be able to renew my visa but only to the expire date. I am not worried about my passport as i am not going to be on the move again and if i need to i can apply for a new one again. Thanks.

Hello to All of the group!

Can someone with certain knowledge let me know whether the ISSUE DATE of the required BANK LETTER, for the purpose of EXTENSION for NON-O RETIREMENT, can be a few days PRIOR to the appointment, considering that the branch director's signature is required and, by past experience, all banks ask "a few days" to issue this letter?

My Branch is DIVISION 1 Bangkok

My Appointment time is 9 AM

Considering that my bank in CW opens at 8.30 can someone tell me HOW can I get all the following (which are required to be dated all ON THE SAME DAY of the extension) done before my appointment at 9 AM?

- bank passbook update plus

- bank transaction list plus

- photocopies of bank passbook

- bank letter plus (?)

Any suggestions?

My non o retirement visa expires in April 2025. Is there a minimum number of blank pages remaining in my US passport required to extend my current visa?

Hi, my husband and I plan to retire to Bangkok in July 2025. We are currently retired and have combined monthly income of over 300,000 baht. Moving with us are our 32 year old daughter and grandson who will turn 4 in July. Is te 65,000 baht per person and can our daughter and grandson go on the same visa as us?
