Non-immigrant type 'O' (90 days) done online through the consulate costs 800 NZD. Applying for 1 year ext. In Thailand will cost you 1900 Thai Baht.

What are the requirements for foreigners entering Thailand regarding the new arrival card?

@John ************

Yep. Very useful! (Thanks, Ellie) Once people understand that it applies to ALL non-Thais entering, regardless of status, any confusion disappears.

Thailand Digital Arrival card. It's replacing the old paper TM6.

Do I need to complete my 90-day reporting if I leave Thailand before the due date?

Jim **********

No 90 day report needed...but don't forget your re-entry permit if you need that?

Can my wife apply for a Non-O visa as a dependent when I'm converting mine to a retirement visa in Thailand?

@Neil *******

Yep...depends on your financial situation.

Can my wife apply for a Non-O visa as a dependent when I'm converting mine to a retirement visa in Thailand?

Jim **********

Would the other alternative be for your wife to apply for her own non-O based on retirement (if over 50)rather than as spouse?

This would mean you both having the banked money, but would avoid any risks or complication?

Do I need to transfer my Thai non-B visa to my new passport immediately or can it wait until my next extension?

Jim **********

If it's a UK passport, your old one is automatically cancelled when the new one is issued.

The visa needs to be transferred...and it's very easy to do.

Can I apply for a multiple entry Non-O visa for taking care of my Thai children without a bank statement?

Jim **********

@Tod ********

Sorry...I assumed the author was applying to a consulate for a 12 month visa, from the 'multiple entry' reference. Obviously, for a 90 day visa, re-entry permits wouldn't apply.

Can I apply for a multiple entry Non-O visa for taking care of my Thai children without a bank statement?

Jim **********

Just apply for a single entry...then later, you can get a 'multiple re-entry' permit at Immigration.

What should I expect during my first 90-day check-in for a Non-O visa based on marriage?

Jim **********

Tomorrow 15th is Sunday so they are not open! Do your 90 day report at the drive thru Monday morning, and you'l be fine.

Just show your passport and TM 30, with the 90 day form.
