Can anyone tell me if this is something they have run across before when changing the TR visa over to a Non-O visa. This seems a little expensive.

Ok i will try and keep this less frustrating and not vent to much

I have heard nothing but conflicting stories from all walks of life including the so called professionals.

It really should be a simple task i need to renew my non o retirement visa

Difference in cost between agents is redicoulous then im told i have to use the same agent also told i need health insurance

There are so much crap goin around really dont know who to believe

Can anyone please give me a legit list of what is required i have income of 65000 bht per month so that herdle is solved

Thax all

Further to my post a few days ago relating to my Wise/Bangkok Bank experience, I now report on my experience at Chaengwatthana applying for extension of stay based on non-O (retirement) yesterday.

My appointment was for 10.00. I arrived at CW at 9:20 headed straight to the Bangkok Bank Passbook Update machine to get an entry for the day, then to the copy shop to copy the same page in the passbook.

Went into section L, to the "document check" booth, where the immigration officer went through all my submitted documents:-

- Completed TM7 form

- Bangkok Bank 12-month statement (obtained from the Bangkok Bank App)

- Photocopies of all Bank passbook pages

- Copy of my 12-month condo lease

- List of the 12 monthly 65,000 baht international transfers

Once these were checked, the immigration officer asked me to sign the standard forms relating to overstay and access to information, and told me to wait outside the booked appointments booth. Time was then 9:40

At 9:45 called into the booth (ahead of time), sat in front of immigration officer who thumbed through the documents, requested me to sign again the TM7 (probably wanted to make sure it was my signature), and asked me to wait outside again.

At 9:55 called over to the booth where I was given my passport back with a brand new 12-month extension of stay! Walked out of CW at 10:00. A total time of 40 minutes. Which goes to show if you've got everything in order there's no need for delays!

I also had with me (just in case) the 12 FETs for bank transfers, statement of my pension fund in Australia and the standard certification letter from Bangkok Bank (which it seems they seldom ask for with 65k per month process, but I always get just in case). None of these were requested.

Most importantly, I was not asked for any proof or documents relating to taxation!

Greetings.

TDAC Questions:

1. When I fill in the Country/Territory where you boarded field, do I put the country I'm departing from or the last country I'm arriving from in Thailand (since I have a connecting flight)?

2. Related to that, the flight number field is the one from the country I'm leaving from or the last flight I'm taking to Thailand?

3. In the visa number field, do I put the number of the last visa extension (Non O visa extension based on marriage), or the visa number that is from two years ago, a sticker from Laos (btw, the extension is on that visa)?

Thank you.

Hey! I would like to apply from Philippines, it’s the whole process online? I will be one night in Cebu, and then 2 weeks in Siargao, would this time be enough? Should I also add my airbnbs receipts from Cebu and Siargao?

Also, regarding the balance of 15k, I have much more than that but it’s all invested, I will reimburse from a fund so I have those 15k liquid. But it will be only for this month, if they require form previous month everything will be in investment funds or stock, would I have any trouble with this?

I have a request, I am in Thailand I was told I could convert a tourist visa into a non O visa, went to immigration in Nakhon Sawan to ask l, they would not help or tell me what steps I need to take, I am wanting to end up with a retirement visa as soon as I can. Any good advice would be appreciated, I’m sorry I do not have a bank account in my name, I have proof of residency, I believe I was given bad information from someone already living here, he said I should just come over on a tourist visa and change it to a non O visa once I arrived, now I am finding out I should had just applied when I was home and came in like everyone is saying Thanks

It seems that for those that qualify based on the passive income requirement, the LTR is an easier option for a long stay. Is there an advantage by going the non o to oa route over the ltr?

My visa have been approve. When I enter Thailand ( or the departure airport) do I have to have exit ticket?

Ok tried searching the group and asking friends and still get answers all over the place.

US guy (me) married to dual US/Thai woman (my wife).

She has her Thai ID still in her maiden name and two passports in married name.

She has her Tabien Baan.

For me to apply for a non-o based on marriage, do we need to get our marriage docs certified in Thailand?

Or can I apply for a non-o based on marriage using our US-based marriage certificate as "proof of relationship to a family in Thailand"?

Hello community, how are you? Do you know what I mean by work documents? I applied in Hanoi, Vietnam. I've already uploaded my pay stubs and employment contract, but I don't know what else to upload. I also work freelance with clients in the marketing department and have contracts. Should I upload that too? Should I write a letter explaining the situation? This would be the third time they've asked me for more information.
