you do not need a Thai bank account for foreign Embassy qualification.

Does my September 90-day report count as my first or second notification after a retirement extension in Thailand?

Chris *******

@Tom ***********

it's just a 90 day report, nothing to do with your visa.

It resets every time you reenter.

Do the first one in person, then register and do it online from then on if you want.

Can I apply for the DTV visa through the Hanoi consulate after attending a cooking class in Thailand?

Chris *******

@Stephan **********

no, once you are issued the visa you are entitled to multientry.

No proofs needed.

IF you apply for an in country extension there may be requirements as to purpose and Financials.

It is not completely known yet but the answers to that are imminent.

Do you need to be married to a Thai citizen before applying for a Non-O Visa based on marriage?

Chris *******

@Edward ********

no you cannot.

You must have a reason for the non-o visa (retirement, Thailand family etc.) and the 1st extension has to be for that reason only.

On a subsequent extension you can "change" the reason for extension.

Do all family members need to be present for a 30-day extension in Thailand?

Chris *******

Most offices will require all applicants to be there and most offices it's a fairly straight forward process.

Really depends where you are.
