I have arrived in Hua Hin, I have my none O visa. What do I need to take to immigration to get a Residency certificate? I am getting conflicting information on what I need to take with me. It is for opening a bank account.

For information only - not looking for advice but hoping it helps anyone going through the process - if nothing else to allieve anxiety.

Hubby and I completed our annual extension of stay Non O retirement visa application yesterday at Hua Hin immigration. We had one small hiccup that was probably due to communication breakdown with getting the bank documents needed. We remembered from last year Bangkok Bank required us to request our statement and the letters of account verification from the bank so we requested those last week and the statement was ready. We had to re-request the letter which they produced yesterday - but they issued both on a joint document as we have a joint account. Immigration checkin (the lovely ladies that sit downstairs to go over your paperwork and let you know if you need anything additional to what you have before going upstairs and taking a number to be seen) sent us back to the bank to get second original (only needed if you and your partner are applying - she was correct that we needed it and it probably saved us from being denied) No problem getting it and we headed back to immigration. We arrived just before 12 so sat during their lunch hour and as soon as they re-opened at 1 were processed rather quickly with no dramas at all. Staff there are extremely helpful. It was an easy process and we both got our new stamp within around 15-20 minutes of the interview start. Cost us a whopping 1900 baht each and was pretty stress free.

Passport question: I will come to Hua Hin September 8th with a 90 day Non-Immigrant O Visa. Early December I will go to Immigration in Hua Hin to apply for a 1 year Non Immigrant O visa. I plan to leave Thailand early April 2026. However, my passport will expire July 17th 2026. Will this cause a problem, when I apply for the One year Non O Visa at Immigration in Hua Hin in December?

Question for married couples from the USA who use their marriage certificate for "trailing spouse" visa/extension purposes:

Have you successfully extended the stay of the trailing spouse (after 29-Feb-2024) at Hua Hin immigration using an original marriage certificate from the USA without any authentication documents from the state/commonwealth, Department of State, and Royal Thai Embassy?

For background, we applied for our original visas using the marriage certificate that we received when we originally got married, which was a "true and correct copy" signed by the county recorder with an embossed seal but which did not have any attached authentication documents. We also used that original copy for our first trailing spouse extension. However, after reading about a possible need for authenticated documents, we decided to pay an apostille to request another copy of our marriage certificate and obtain all the authentications that were required at that time from the state and federal authorities and with an additional authentication stamp provided by the Royal Thai Embassy. We were told that the authenticated documents would be valid for 3 years, and we have used them twice for trailing spouse extensions. However, based on Immigration Order No. 0029.154/1491 dated February 24, 2024, we are wondering if we will be able to go back to using the original copy of our marriage certificate that we received when we got married, which has no attached authentication documents.

Since we have presented two different marriage certificates at Hua Hin immigration that look quite different from one another, both of which were issued by a competent authority in the state in which we were married, but only one of which is attached to authentication documents, we are wondering if using the original copy will create confusion.

Greetings all.

I am in Hua Hin.

I need to do my retirement extension this Thursday/Friday (when Imm. reopens) due to a sudden bereavement in the family at home as need to go and may well not be back before expiry.

I meet all the 800k method requirements.

My bank is Kasikorn. I think they're open Wednesday

Can anyone current and local tell me if it's OK to get the bank paperwork Wednesday so I can go to Imm. early doors Thursday?

Also, do I still need to transact and update my passbook on Thursday before I go?

Can't ask Imm. as it's shut and on a time constraint.

Thankyou for any kind assistance.

I came to Thailand on a 90 day visa visiting family married to a Thai as a US citizen. Is there an extension to apply for? I was under the impression from reading posts. From this group that there is a 60 day extension I could apply for. Yes, I can go to immigration. At blueport, in Hua Hin but it is hard to ask somebody a question. With the new setup, they have at the windows.

Hello, does anyone have the most recent requirements for a Non O one year extension based on marriage from Hua Hin immigration? Thank you 🙏🙏

I’m planning on living in Prachuap Khiri Khan with either a retirement or marriage visa. My question is about the required letter from the bank stating that 800/400K Baht was deposited via international transfer and has been in the account for at least 2 months dated the day of applying for the retirement/marriage visa. If I have to open a Bangkok Bank account in a ‘easy’ branch, say Pattaya, can I get the letter from the PKK branch or does it have to be obtained from the branch where I opened the account? If so, can I transfer the account to the PKK branch?

Does anybody know if the Hua Hin immigration office (the one I’ll be using) requires this letter or are happy with bank statements?

Hi 🙋‍♂️

I‘m right now on a Tourist Visa and I want to apply for a non Immigrant O Visa based on 65K (confirmed) monthly pension.

What do I need else for?
