Buat, is that a new currency? 😂

If you’re talking about applying for a Non O outside of Thailand 🇹🇭, you’re talking out of your arse!

You are so WRONG!

Why post when you don’t know? People on this site are reaching out for help. You are doing the opposite!

@Greg **********

sorry mate. You are WRONG.

Please don’t post unless you try to understand what you are talking about!!!!

Apply for a Non O in your home country. The Thai 🇹🇭 consulate or embassy in your home country will tell you what is required to APPLY for a Non O (it is not that much).

When you get to Thailand 🇹🇭 with your Non O visa, you will then be able to open a Thai bank account. You will need to deposit 800,000B at least two months before applying for your 12 month extension. The 800,000B will also need to sit in your account for 3 months after your extension has been granted. Following that, the amount cannot drop below 400,000B until the cycle starts again.

Please bear in mind that the practice of using an agent to ‘deposit’ money in an account, supposedly in your name is illegal and may lead to consequences for you further down the track. It may also be difficult to escape the agents clutches, should you choose to go down this path.

I hope this helps.

@Petrov *******

They would all have slightly different requirements depending on the currency.

@Petrov *******

I don’t know, it will depend on the embassy/consulate where you apply. Why don’t you check their website?

You’re not a nice person!

@Scott ********

Apply for a Non O Visa for her on your home country. Then extend after 3 months for a 12 month extension in Thailand 🇹🇭.

And then extend again…

@Kirk *******

Just remember that you will also have to pay tax on anything you remit to Thailand 🇹🇭- if you spend 180 days or more here in a calendar year. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID TAX ON SAID FUNDS IN THE UK.

Just to let you know…

The new tax rules came into effect 1 January 2024.

Hi there, it is easy these days, took me all of one week. There is no medical requirements for a Non O, nor insurance requirements. Perhaps you were thinking of a Non OA?

Best of luck.
