Hi, I'm applying for Non-O Visa and would like to know how to fill out the online application properly ! My goal is to apply for Non OX Visa ; yet me without a bank account in Thailand, the Thai embassy in France suggests me to enter with Non-O, get a rental, open a bank account, and then switch to Non-OX in Thailand.
I intend to stay in Thailand for 90 days to make sure I can receive Non-OX. Before finding a rental, I plan to stay at a hotel for the first 7 days of my stay........
Is it alright if I only answer 7 days for the hotel accommodation in my Non-O application, without answering where to stay for the rest of 83 days ?? 🤔
if not, what is your advice ?? 🤔
Again, I will find a rental in Thailand as soon as I arrive ; but at this moment I just have no idea where it will be........Million thanks ! 🙏🙏
Can I ask you the experts a question about the financial statement for a Non-OX immigration visa that my wife and I are applying?
When I called the Thai immigration office, we were told that as long as I have 3 miillion THB in my bank account, my wife as my dependent does not need to have another 3 million THB in her bank account.
Now for the application, I have my financial statement ready, but does she also need to submit another copy of the same financial statement?
Hello all. I was looking for the official government website which would provide details and requirements for the different types of retirement visas but couldn’t find any. Would somebody be kind enough to share please? Thanks.
Hi .been looking at how to apply for a 1year retirement Visa .I am 60 years old .it seems very complicated.any advice on how to make it look easier than it sounds .
AUS passport, registered TM30 in CM, with Non-OX (5 year retirement) visa, due to expire in August.
Whilst I could extend the Non-OX, I decided to change to a Non-O visa (reasons below).
I was told the Non-OX visa can’t be changed directly into a Non-O visa. The process would be;
1. On my next return to Thailand in July, request the IO to ignore the then still valid visa and enter on a 30 day visa exempt stamp.
2. Get 30 day extension
3. Apply for Non-O visa (90 day visa)
4. Get annual extension (+ multiple entry re-entry permit)
Questions:
Will the IO ignore a valid visa on my request?
Could I skip step 2. As money is already in the bank for some time.
Thanks for your expertise and insight.
Reason to change away from OX:
If the Non-OX would mean 5 years without dealing with immigration (besides 90days/TM30), it would be great.
BUT, I still need to visit immigration every year for the document inspection and provide bank and insurance verification documents
SO; either way annual immigration visit, but with a Non-O there is no insurance requirement and a lot less money to keep in the bank (and with the freed up money better invested, it pays easy for the visa/extension and re-entry permits).
Great day for me today. LTR finished, stamped in and set for 5 years. For me, it was actually easier doing the paperwork for that than my METV.
One thing I did was to make a point of asking about the 1 year report because I’ve heard different opinions on it. They flat out said, it is one year. Leave The Kingdom and it resets. They actually put the report on March 10 2025 card in my passport. And, I asked about the transferring from old passport to a new one and it’s very easy to do.
I am on a Non-OX visa. I arrived in BKK on 15 July 2023, did my TM30 straight away and then my first 90 day report on 16 October.
On my TM43 receipt notification, there is a stamp stating « notify your address again on 15 January 2024 ». I assume this refers to when my next 90 day report is due.
Now, I departed Thailand on 23 October and will re-enter the country on 11 January. I will stay at a different address than the one indicated on my first TM30 and will therefore ask the landlord to do a TM30.
If I understand the immigration requirements correctly, I should be doing my next TM43, 90 days after the date I re-enter the country, ie. on the 9 April or thereabout.
Question : this may sounds ridiculously cautious, but in order to play it safe and given that on my current 90 day report receipt the indicated due date is 15 January, should I trek to Chang Wattana on that date and do it then ? Or should I ignore the date indicated on this receipt and do my next TM47 90 days after my re-entry date ?
