Report on Applying for FOR RETIREMENT PURPOSES - 50 YEARS OLD (NON-O) at Changwattana 4/4/2023

* Prepared everything exactly as stated on the attached PDF.

* Got my q ticket at 1pm and was served at 3.30pm.

* I made the 800K baht deposit using Wise last month directly to Bangkok Bank from my bank in Australia. Made 1 single transfer of 800K and it arrived 2 days later by the time they stated in the confirmation.

* I went to Bangkok Bank downstairs while immigration is closed for lunch (from 12 - 1pm) and got the letter -> “Present passbook and deposit certificate from banks in Thailand (in Thai language (Attention: Immigration Commissioner))”. Took 5 mins and cost 100 Baht.

After presenting all the docs was shown a stamp which said :-

* You have 90 days Visa (NON-O-Retirement) We stamp On 20 APR 2023

* Don't leave of Thailand before stamp visa 20 APR 2023,

* Keep money in bank until you have 1 year visa

* After 60 days start count today" 4 APR 2023 you can summit 1 year visa at counter L

* Before leave of Thailand you must summit Re-Entry permit for keep visa

They said someone from immigration might call me to do a house visit prior to the 20 April. On 20th April I need to go back to Changwattana and get the 90 day stamp.

I went to extend my Non-o visa on November 26th and they gave me a stamp saying the visa is under consideration and said to return on December 25th to collect my Visa.

They also told me that they would call and schedule a house inspection within the month.

They have not yet called me and I'm just curious if this is normal?

I plan on going into immigration on Monday to see if there is anything else I need to do.
