Can my friend renew their Non Imm retirement visa and still deposit the 800K now?

Jesper *******

I would go out of thailand and come back only after the extension expires.....come in as visa exempt and start the process again on your own since u already have 800k ....start applying for initial 90days nonO(most office dont need the funds to be seasoned except jomtien) do the 1yr extension when u have less than 30days of the nonO

Do I need to stay in Thailand for 90 days before applying for a multi-entry visa after getting a Non-O retirement visa?

Jesper *******

Your initial nonO is only 90days it's not feasible to pay for multiple re entry(3800baht) if u really need to travel during your 90days just buy single re-entry (1000baht)....after u get your extensions for 1yr then u buy the multiple re entry which have the same validity as your extension if u need yo travel often

What documents and process do I need for a retirement visa in Thailand, and will 60 days be enough time?

Jesper *******

It's good to park your 800k early 60days is more than enough time to get yourself a lease agreement....pls apply for your nonO 90days retirement visa with more than 15days on your current stamp...visit the immigration office near u to check the lists of requirements

You are coming in on visa exempt....if doing many times you will still be pulled aside iregardless of whether u did have a non0 90days before that......simple question why didn't u extend it?

When u hold a retirement visa u are considered residents u don't claim VAT returns.....you can pass your receipts to your friends or relatives holding tourist visa
