What are the steps to obtaining a non-o retirement visa and extensions in Thailand?
Can my 45-year-old wife come as my dependent on a Thai retirement visa?
COMMENTS
Are there any exceptions to the 180-day stay limit for tourists in Thailand?
Chris
*******
There is no limit of 180 days.
If you stay more than 180 you risk being considered a tax resident.
As far as entries you can enter and stay as long as you are allowed, until an IO officer stops you.
Can I obtain a DTV visa in Thailand if I claim I want to learn the Thai language?

it's a leisure activity.
They don't care if you even do it.
Once you fulfill the qualifications and receive that visa there no follow up.
They are trying to boost tourism sectors and think that this visa will stimulate it.
Yeah its crazy but true.

You are also mistaken that you only get 30 days.
You now get 60 days Visa exempt and can extend it once in country another 30 days.
That's 90 days without leaving.
How can my daughter obtain her Thai passport and what visa options are available for our family moving to Thailand?
Chris
*******
The Thai citizens can enter on the US passports on 60 day visa exempt.
Once in Thailand can then get their Thai passports renewed.
There will be no overstay or fines as they are Thai citizens.
You can visit your local immigration once in Thailand and they will explain the process of staying even though they entered on a foreign PP.
It's not a problem any longer to do that.
What should I do after my 60-day tourist visa in Thailand expires?
Chris
*******
As a UK citizen you did not need a visa for 60 days.
You will exit as your extension expires and reenter with just a tourist visa exempt stamp for 69 days.
Which you can then extend for 30 days.
Can I make multiple deposits to meet the 65,000 baht requirement for my Thai Non-O visa extension each month?
Chris
*******
Most offices prefer 1 transfer per month.
The transfer should be around the same time each month to avoid any problems.
Each office and then officer will ultimately decide.
The simpler you make it the easier to get through.
Do both spouses need to maintain 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank for a retirement visa?

What are the requirements to switch from the 800k method to the 65k monthly transfer method for my non O visa extension in Thailand?

@Barry

you have to try and be reasonably consistent.
For example if you deposit on the 3rd and then the next month on the 28th, that is almost 2 mths between deposits.
Its not just that you deposit in Oct and then in Nov.
They also prefer to see 1 deposit for simplicity.
Remember it will be office specific and then officer specific what they will allow.
With the money , either banked or income method, 1 mistake and you have to start the process over.
What are the requirements to switch from the 800k method to the 65k monthly transfer method for my non O visa extension in Thailand?

no your annual date will be basically static.
Being able to apply early allows you to work around your schedules, fix any potential issues, etc.
Some apply on the last day, not a good plan.
