Adrian Foister my landlord does mine. He finally went to immigration last week and found out exxactly what he needs to do for paperwork for my visas. He does mine online. My old laandlord was old and didn't know how to do it online so I used his ID and set up an account online. I don't remember exactly what they asked for but I had copies of his ID card, house book and chanote title back and front. Same things that are needed to get an O visa and extension here. f5aa12d0ff64e6aeffcb10

You or your landlord needs to do a TM 30 upon your return to your home from staying somewhere else. If you left the country and came back, the 90 day count starts on the date of your last entry stamp.

MagicalJackfruit9772 that would be an issue! And you are correct about the two tiered hospital pricing system. I use a credit card at Bangkok Phuket Hospital when I go as I get a higher exchange rate that I get from BKK Bank with a wire transfer. I still have a residence in California and have Medicare and a supplement plan, so I do my medical when I am there. like the hip replacement last July I had done at Stanford University Hospital and I am getting my dental implants done here. India would probably be cheaper! The last two dentists I saw in California were from India anyway. But I have a house here, not in India. Nothing in life is ever free or easy. If it was, everyone would do it! I hope you recovered well from your accident. I guess accident insurance here would be a good thing. Knock on wood, 22 years of riding a motorcycle here and I am still accident free. I have a strategy I use when I ride here. I use the pack as protection, when the road is clear I lose the pack! Repeat at the next traffic light.

There are no requirements for insurance with a non immigrant O based on retirement initially or for a one year extension. There is a medical insurance requirement for an O-A visa and visa extension. The ฿800,000 is required in your Thai bank account to cover an emergency. Insurance is optional. I used to buy accident insurance but haven't for many years now. medical insurance doesn't cover any existing conditions and I'm 70 so I would be paying a lot for the little they might cover. I have heard and read over the years it is difficult to get medical insurance to actually pay out on claims here.

Bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado sandwiches are very good. Guacamole and salsa, also very good. I'm from California, we grow a lot of them there. People starting planting avocado trees here, up north a bit over 10 years ago now here and they are finally mature trees producing fruit. I have one in the fridge. But they seem to not ripen that well here. Hard, then rotten.

Your first 90 day report must be done in person at your local immigration office. Subsequent reports may be done online.

Graham Seal like I said: “every immigration office and bank branch have different rules.” Check with your local immigration office and bank branch as to what they require.

With an non immigrant O visa based on retirement and a one year extension done in Thailand, no health insurance is required. First thing you need to do is open a bank account. I suugest going to the local bank you want to use and ask what they require to open an account. Most are requiring a resident certificate from immigration. You will need your lease for that. Also at Phuket Immigration they require a minimum of 15 days left on your visa, so you don't have a lot of time to get everything together. Every immigration office and bank seem to have different rules. Best to go to the office and pick up the forms and get a checklist of requirements.

I’ve been using Bangkok Bank for 20 years now. This year is the first time I’ve ever had them lock ฿800,000 for four months, but I can’t use that money for five months anyway, so I am over it. I didn’t have the required amount since I was out of Thailand for a year and a half and arrived on a 60 day visa exemption and just changed to a non immigrant based on retirement. After Songkran I am applying for my one year extension. One year bank statement and letter will be available on 21-4 that I ordered four days ago. The holiday closure added to the amount of time to get my paperwork. My landlord is just as bad at doing the paperwork, if not worse.
