Immigration in Chiang Mai agreed to supply CoR (certificate of residency) yet not right away. They will send it by mail within 2-3 weeks time. WTF??. Does that sound like the expected response...? its needed for a Non Immigrant O for retirement visa. Bank will not open account without the CoR, so that makes the 800k deposited for 60 days before getting the one year extention very tight in terms of times. and maybe even impossible, concidering international money transfers take few days.

not sure I 'll make it.

any advice of how to get the CoR sooner?

Hi.group thanks for adding me/Alan from Montréal Canada..want to move to Thaïlande..but it is complicated to know what to do what steps. & visa et.. would greatly aporeciate some info ..thanks

Need help with a refresher on the process of obtaining a retirement visa in chiang mai.

4 years back I did the below process, I recall that it was relatively easy, basically, my retirement visa and wife and child as dependents

1. Visa on arrival (Visa Exemption) 60 days , back then it was 30 days

2. After 15-30 day

3. Apply for Non-Immigrant O Visa (90day Non-O).

4. 30 days later, apply for Retirement Visa (Extension of Stay)

(I have a Thai Bank account already)

Once my visa is sorted, I start the process for my wife and child (6years old)(non-thai)

They will be a (dependent) from my visa

This is what I have done last time in Chiang Mai

I know what paperwork is required, birth certificate, marriage, passports, residential letter, cash in bank 800k.

(hopefully no changers)

Are there any changes I should be aware of?

Just a thought, is there any advantages for me to first get a 90day Non-O from my home country before arriving.

Thanks

Help! Group I am filling e-visa non immigrant O.

They are asking about the dates of arrival, flight no, accomodation address, how many days I will stay there.

How can I book accomodation for 90 days, before I even close to go?

Also even if I book airbnb, I won't get full address (which is required) until 5 days to arrival.

I didn't book anything yet. I would like to have a visa first (it lasts 10-15 working days to get it). What to do?

After registration foreign marriage in Thailand and get a kor ror22 from amphur can i change my current tourist visa status in to non immigrant o spouse category visa for 90 days to open a bank account and deposit 400k in thai bank account for a 1 year extension or need to apply outside Thailand please need some advice

Just checking

We married in The Netherlands and want to register our marriage in Thailand too. Than I can base the yearly extention of a Non-immigrant O visa on our marriage. I had our marriage certificate legalized here in The Netherlands by the MFA and the Thai embassy. So far so good.

I found a translator in Bangkok who will do the registration at the MFA in Bangkok. For that I will provide here with the legalized marriage certificate, a legalized copy of my passport by the Dutch embassy, a copy of the Thai identity card of my spouse and his Tabien Baan. The translator will send the registered document to our address in Phitsanulok. Than I will register our marriage at the municipality (Amphur). I was told that I should insist to keep the original marriage certificate for Immigration, the Amphur should keep a copy. I hope this goes well. Anyone who has experience with this?

Having done all this, after two months of stay I can ask Immigration for extension of my visa, based on our marriage. My Thai spouse has a bank account with more than 400,000 baht, so I don't need a bank account of my own. At least that's what Immigration told me in April when we were there. But if necessary I can open a bank account of my own with a Certificate of Residence, to be provided by Immigration. To be sure, I will check again with Immigration after our arrival.

For the extension next year we will not have 400,000 baht any more on my spouses bankaccount, we will use the money for a house (to assure my rights, we will register an Usufruct agreement for as long as I live). But the Dutch embassy can provide an affidavit about my pension, that's enough. Just to be sure, I will also check this with Immigration.

Anyone any comment? Did I miss something? Thank you.

Went to my local Immigration Office in Saraburi today to ask about all handouts for my 1 year extension of stay of my Non-Immigrant O Visa based on being over 50 years old (retirement).

This is what the officer gave me but also told me to open a bank account despite that I said (and girlfriend) I will use an income letter from my Embassy to guarantee my income, my Swedish Embassy still offer this service.

Trying to figure out why she wanted me to present an bank account, is this common at other offices when using Embassy letter?

I will of course do as I'm told, bring my girlfriend to her bank and ask about all the paperwork, as I understand it should not be a problem to open an account since I'm on a long term visa/extension.

Wish me luck, thanks!

I am currently living in Thailand on a non-immigrant O spouse visa. I plan on applying for a DTV 6-months before the end of my current non-immigrant O as this is the only time I will be in another country for long enough for the application process. A few questions:

1) I see on the document list I need a 'Document Indicating Current Location.' Does that mean Thailand or UK?

2) Assuming it means the UK, what kind of document would that be e.g. a bank statement with my parent's UK address on?

3) Am I correct in thinking I can't start the application process before I leave Thailand?

4) Do I need to do something to cancel my non-immigrant visa or will it auto cancel when I get my new DTV?

I am preparing to apply for my non immigrant-o visa (spouse) in Bangkok. I have deposited 384k from abroad and had the rest in earnings in my account already. I am reading mixed information about the importance of the source of the funds.

Will it be an issue if the fund are not all from abroad?

Tia

If anyone have a list of every piece of evidence I need to get the non-o in Bangkok that would be greatly appreciated.
