Just a update on previous post I asked can you jump que with visa and over 60 years old answer is no .

Come through immigration last night 19.30 took 1 hour 20 min.

Make sure all your paperwork is correct return tickets etc. Seen a lot of people getting turned around .and Immigration officers taking people away .

Got a thai girl pregnant and I’d like to stay here…. I did 3 border runs this year and was planning on doing 1 more in the new year then applying for an education visa - then a Thai bank account - then probably an o type visa for being the child’s father…. Does anyone have any advice for me to make things a bit more simple please 😩😅

Hi, a further question about seasoning of funds for a retirement visa: What happens if you leave Thailand before the three month period after the extension has elapsed? Immigration would be unable to verify that you kept 800k in your account for the required 3 months. Does your extension get cancelled?

If i am getting a tooth implant. Would i be able to use that to get a 5 year soft visa ?? And what dentist is good ?

Hi all.

I think i know the answer to my question but would like confirmation please.

I will come on a Non O visa (marriage) next year. We are coming over in February and need a bank account which will be in my wife's name. I know we can't have a joint bank account to show the money for my extension. But can I transfer it to my account when I've opened it.

Secondly can I bring cash over to put into my account once opened. Coming from my UK bank. Pensions. I will probably keep the 400k in a separate account and not touch it.

Thanks for the information in advance.

Does anyone know for sure if the 800k sitting in the bank have to be an international transfer.

I know it has been covered many times re: 12 months of 65,000 bank deposit for the FIRST non-o one year extension not being able to be used. BUT after several phone calls to the Phuket IO both in Thai and English, they say we can.

I guess only a trip there will give the real answer. We also have the 800,000 ready just in case. WE ALL KNOW WHY!!

Hi, if I enter Thailand with a non O 90 day visa and already have 800k in a Thai bank, can I apply for a retirement extension right away? And is insurance required?

FYI—

As there was an update to the Thai eVisa Website yesterday on 27 December 2025, the Category Selection for a Non–O E–Visa for those aged over 50 years old has changed to:

" Those who wish to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 days (single entry) "

Ok. So I think I know the answer but I want to check. I’m currently on an extension of stay on my Non O for retirement. When I apply for my next extension of stay Can I change that to a non O for marriage or do I have to start again. Thanks
