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?

(Hua Hin Immigration)

Thanks!!

Lease agreement question:

Non-O Retirement

Will it make a difference for immigration if my wife's name is also on lease? She does not need require a visa.

Hua Hin Immigration

TIA

Do all immigration offices in Hua Hin issue a residency certificate for a driving licence? Anything else required to take with than TM.30 from my hotel, my passport and a photo. I have a 10 year LTR visa which I believe should allow the issuance of a 5-year driver's permit although I am 69 years old. Correct? Many thanks for your help and advice.

I have been to Thailand about 12 times on 90-day tourist visas and 2 times on retirement visas over 12 years As recently as March 2024 I arrived at BKK airport and was given a 30 visa-exempt. entry, 3 weeks later I went to Thai Immigration at "Blupoint Shopping Centre" in Hua Hin and obtained a 1-month extension for Bt1900, it took about an hour all told including the interview with a police officer. I have never been asked about a ticket to exit Thailand on all my trips. In the 15 times I have been there, I have never been asked about an exit ticket even though it says you will.

PS... I now have a ticket to return to Hua Hin on 18/09/2024, exiting Thailand on 14/11/2024 which is 57 days. For me, it does not matter if they have not sorted out their 60-day visa-free entry issues by then. If not I'll get 30 days visa-free stay and just apply for 30 days extension at Immigration in Hua Hin and pay the required Bt1900.

By the way, Thai Immigration was/is very helpful at Hua Hin Immigration with staff people eager to advise you of the method and offer help, it is much simpler now. You only need your passport and proof of where you live to fill out the application (best to do a dry run first)). i.e. a receipt from your hotel will do. Thailand by delaying each application for the 60 visa-free issues is then Bt1900 better off, when you extend your visa, I don't mind, I believe tourists should/could be required to pay something.

Good morning, our son who is visiting us in Bangkok will need need to apply for his visa exemption extension.As he will put down our adress in Bangkok on the TM7 form does that means he needs to do the extension in Bangkok?

We are going to Hua Hin for a few days so was thinking it might be easier to do the extension once we are in Hua Hin.

I am about to apply for a 30 day extension to my 60 day tourist visa which has 14 days left on it.

Can I please ask are my timings correct to make the application?

Also I have the TM7 which seems straightforward aside from the reference to a TM6 which according to google is discontinued therefore should I just leave this part blank?

Finally I believe I need to ask my landlord to submit a TM30 to my local immigration office in Hua Hin where I am staying?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Hi all,

Just wanted to check what’s the earliest that one can go for a tourist visa extension at Hua hin immigration office ? Do they turn you away if you still have a lot of time till expiry ?

Apologies if asked before but I am trying to find out how soon I can apply to renew/extend my Non O or retirement visa in Hua Hin. Is it 30 days or 45 days before expiry? I've seen different answers

Hello Everyone,

Non-O Immigrant Visa Based on retirement/ over 50 Yearly extension in Hua Hin.

I've just been to the bank to get my 1-year statements and I'll be able to pick them up in 7 days.

Am I able to use a bit of money above the 800,000 baht in this account while waiting for the statements or does the 1 year Bank Statement total have to match the account total on the day I do the renewal.

Thank you as always
