Can I do a ‘drive through’ at Phuket immigration for multi entry permit with a retirement visa?

I managed to get my initial 20 day Thai wife visa and will return for the year stamp in 3 weeks .. then I will get my multi entry permit.. ..

Does anyone know what docs I will need to

1) get the full 1 year visa stamp and

2) multi entry ??

Hoping it is not a duplicate of the entire visa application process which was 76pages altogether

I currently have the 90-day non-O and will soon be going to immigration to get the 1-year marriage extension.

What do I need to bring with me to make sure this goes smoothly?

I know I need a bank statement saying I have had 400k baht in a bank account for 2 months.

I will have my wife with me, and our marriage license with us

I will have $200 (is it okay if it's in baht and not USD? All the sources I find just say $200) because I want it to be multi-entry.

Anything else?

With a non-immigrant O 90 days visa (for apply to the Thai wife visa after the second month), is it possible to get a multi-entry if need to leave the country for a few days during this 90 days period... Any clue? Thanks

Change Non-O (retirement) to DTV.

Morning.

So I have a Non-O EOS till next March, but would like to change to DTV sooner than that. Reasons are apparent ease of application for dependant spouse (Cambodian) and due to the nature of her job, the Cambodian gov don't want her to have a long-term Thai Visa. Cambodia calls the DTV a special tourist visa.

I own and run a property business in the UK remotely, though it requires several trips back per year.

Do I need to do anything with the Non-O in Thailand before applying for DTV in Cambodia (inform, cancel etc)? I have a multi-entry permit.

Many thanks.

Hi,

I have a retirement visa with a single re-entry which I am going to use soon.

I was told you could purchase additional entries from immigration at BKK airport, does anyone have any experience doing this?

Thanks 😊

I have asked this before I think but I really need someone who is familiar with visas. I am an American and I was able to get a retirement O 90 day visa with a multi exit feature. I was hoping to see if I took a trip out of Thailand that I could get another 90 days on the visA. What if I get an extension to 1 year?

Can someone confirm this for me? I understand that with a multi-entry permit in my passport, I can come and go from Thailand at wll AND that my 90 report time restarts each time i return to Thailand? (I have a non-O immigrant visa based on retirement - the one year extension). Thanks!

Hi everyone

Info request - Visa non O retirement (NO MARRIAGE)

I enter Thailand with a Non-O visa (90 days) from Switzerland and during those days I would like to apply for the 1 year non-O retirement with multi-entry without having to have additional insurance. What does it mean that with this visa - Non-O - every 90 days I have to leave Thailand? I ask this because before the pandemic I had an O-A visa and insurance and there I knew I didn't have to go out every 90 days. This makes me confused - as many say the rules have changed and you no longer have to go out every 90 days on a Non-O visa.

Visa application in Phuket town.

I trust your experience and thank you in advance for your kind reply.

Hello everyone. My inquiry is about the requirements and process for the 1 year extension of stay application (based on retirement). I hold a US passport and am currently in Bangkok on a 90 day non-o Visa based on retirement. The stamp was obtained on 9-Nov-2021 (from CW), and expires 6-Feb-2022. I obtained the 90 day non-o Visa stamp using the banked funds method (e.g., 800,000 baht transferred from my US bank account into my Bangkok Bank account on 21-Oct-2021), and completed the TM30 using my current Bangkok address. I also now have a new 1 year lease agreement beginning 15-Jan-2022 for a condo (at a new address) in Bangkok. In addition, I would like to apply for my multi-entry permit at the same time I apply you my 1 year extension of stay.

What I want to better understand are next steps and preparation, and what can I expect when going to CW to apply for my 1 year extension of stay (i.e., when should I apply, what do I need to have in hand; is there a waiting period, etc.). Thank you in advance.
