Spousal Visa

Question what happens if you have a small apartment can you just take pictures outside of the apartment and pictures of us inside, we have actually been married for almost 2 years I've made several trips to Thailand already but I had to leave last April about a year ago to go back to the US to work and liquidate I am retired but I'm working on a couple houses right now and I will not be back until the latter part of 2027 or 28 hopefully immigration does not have any issues with older photos, we were legally married in Thailand with all documents, and I have passport stamps reflective of a retirement Visa that expired this past December I understand I have to go through the whole process again apply for the non 0 and start over with the spousal Visa I currently have two Thai bank accounts , will they require a background check from my country is it something I need to bring with me ?

Thank you so much for your help

Love and peace to all

Hi everyone, I'd love to get some advice from people who have experience with the Thailand retirement visa.

Here's my situation: I'd apply for a Non-OA (retirement) visa from my home country — the 3-month entry type. Once in Thailand, I'd extend it for a full year at Immigration and file a TM30 for my rental address. I'd sign a lease for roughly 5–6 months, which covers the period I'd actually be staying.

After that, I'd need to return home for family reasons — but I'd come back before the extension expires, get a new place, file a new TM30, and apply for another annual extension. Before leaving Thailand I'd also get a re-entry permit so the extension stays valid while I'm abroad.

I have two specific concerns I'd love your input on:

1. Does Immigration require a lease that covers the full 12 months when granting a 1-year extension? Or is a shorter lease (5–6 months) acceptable? I've heard some offices ask for proof of address for the entire extension period.

2. During the months I'm back home, there would be no active TM30 on file for me in Thailand — since my lease would have ended and I wouldn't have a new address yet. Is that a problem? Does Immigration expect a TM30 to be on file at all times, even when you're not physically in the country?

Any firsthand experience or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

I currently have a Non-O Visa,

I deposited 800,000Baht into Bangkok bank a while ago, Bank says (new bank rule), they have to lock up the 800,000 for 4 months, that's when I first applied for the NON-O visa.

To apply for the NON O visa, bank gave me a letter saying I had 800,000 in bank.

fast forward 3 months, Today I'm starting to prepare my documentation for immigration.

They say, BANK, they cannot give me a bank letter saying I have greater than 800,000 baht in bank. They updated my Bank Book, it says I have over 800,000baht in my account.

Their reason, I have only, let's say, 80,000baht available.

however, at the bottom of the page, it says 800,000 is locked up.

Infront of me, they phoned immigration and asked if they will accept it, Answer was a NO

their solution was, send another 800,000baht to my account, then the account will say I have over 800,000baht

They wouldn't even give me the letter, the one that say that I have 80,000 available, with the sub text saying 800,000 is locked up for 4 months.

However, I can take a photo of it and show immigration, and if immigration say its ok, then I return to the bank, and they will give me a copy.

my head is spinning

Have I done something wrong?

This application process isn't my first in Chiang Mai, have done the process twice before, where I have let the visa expire as I was living elsewhere. No problems with bank letters in the past

Non O marriage visa renewal

Hi Group.

I have to renew my non O marriage visa at the end of June, this will be year 2 so the first time I’ve renewed it. I’m hoping it’s easier than the first time. There’s quite a lot of rules in Nonthaburi where I’m based. I think I remember the money in the account only needs to be there for at least 60 days before the date, not 90 days like the initial application. Any help much appreciated.

Many thanks,

D

Does anyone know if Bangkok Bank will issue a yearly statement on line, only showing deposits made?. Retirement renewal visa coming up next month and want to change to 65k+ deposits each month.

Hi there, quick financial statement question.

Laos specific - After submitting all the financial statements (3 month banks statements via the online portal), do they usually ask to show them proof again in person like on your phone or so?

Thank you in advance for your insight!
