Not sure if I’m lucky, or just maybe have done things correctly. My wife had a phone call from our local BB manager requesting we call into the office with some paperwork with regard to my account with them. For her it was her Thai ID, marriage certificate and house book. For me it was passport with current long term visa, bank books and driving licence. She did say there was no problem just a check up to see all was in order. We were there a max 30minutes while she checked everything and gave the all clear. She confirmed I would have no problems getting the 12 months bank statements and bank letter required in order to apply for my next retirement extension. I then visited immigration who confirmed there wouldn’t be a problem changing from monthly 65k transfers to 800k banked money method for my next extension.

I am not sure I followed the proper procedure when I left Thailand. Last ApriI obtained my first non immigrant O visa and then was able to get my one year extension of stay in July. I left the country a couple of weeks later and am not sure if I got my reentry permit. This is a picture of my last passport stamp. Did I mess up and lose my visa status? Please advise. I did buy a multi entry permit as well.

With an initial 90 day O visa, how early can you do the extension? And on the other side, how soon do you need to do the extension? The 90 day O visa expires on 13 October.

Good day

An enquiry please as i am not sure and cant find the answer anywhere.

My husband and i will be coming on a retirement Visa and understand the 800000 must be in a bank account for 2 months. What i want to know is this.... How is the money reflected in bank account if we cannot open an account whilst being in our home country and also whilst waiting for the retirememt Visa, can we come on a visitors visa whilst waiting for it to be approved?

TIA

Hi guys. Thanks to advice on here i applied for a Non-O 90 day retirement visa (I intend to extend in Thailand but only got the option for 90 days on the Embassy website).

However when asked to provide proof of £18,000 in the bank i had a problem. I do have the amount JUST but its in 3 bank accounts and the Embassy web site only allows you to upload a single photo.

My son put all 3 accounts on one photo but it has not been accepted, they said they want a clear photo, not a screenshot of my proof.

I have tried calling to explain and ask for help but keep getting the "No-one available" and then get cut off.

Any of you guys any idea how i can get round this problem?

I am currently holding a retirement visa in Thailand, valid until March next year. However, when I traveled outside of Thailand last month, I did not obtain a re-entry permit before leaving. (Yes I totally forgot) Upon my return at airport, I was granted a 60-day tourist visa instead.

At the airport, the immigration officer informed me that I could resolve this matter at the immigration office. A week after my return, I visited the immigration office in Bangkok to resolve this. There, the officer explained that my retirement visa could be validated, but my landlord would need to update my residential status in the system.

When I contacted my landlord, she informed me that this update can only be made within 24 hours of my arrival. Since more than 24 hours had passed, she is unable to update it now, as entering false information would be an offense. Without this update in the system, immigration is unable to proceed further.

Therefore, I am kindly seeking your guidance on what I should do next. Does this mean that once my 60-day tourist visa expires, I will need to leave Thailand? Or is there a way to reapply or convert to a new retirement visa within Thailand without having to leave the country? And what if I stay over and let's say I travel in December and apply for re-entry b4 I go, will I get away with it.

Thank you very much for your time, understanding, and assistance with this matter.

Any Indians who recently got approved can tell me how much money you had in your bank account and for how long? Is 10 lakhs enough? Or 13.89 lakhs (converting 500k THB)? Especially those who applied at Chennai.

When transferring your funds to your Thai bank via Wise for your first 12 month visa approval, is the Reason - Savings selected on the Wise transfer ok for Thai Immigration?
