Andy Johnston mostly from posts on here, I can't find a link to the actual requirements on an official site but Phuket Immigration Volunteers have also posted this

@Philippe ********

health insurance is not required for a Non-O visa

@Philippe ********

that's not an official site, it is run by a visa agent. Ignore it.

@Philippe ********

you can use any bank account at a consulate. I don't see 1 year on the evisa site can you point me to ir

Same question but to a different group. Same answers as in the other group. Discounting the mother in law as she can make a 90 day Non-O visa based on retirement but will need 800k baht in a Thai bank for the 12 month extension of stay. That still leaves 7 people trying to get DTVs out of a single 500k baht amount, it is simply not feasible. I guess the three youngest kids could just come in visa exempt as there is no penalty for them until they hit 15 other than an overstay stamp on their passport but I wouldn't recommend this. That just leaves you, your wife and 2 oldest to apply for DTVs but whether any consulate would allow this based on only 500k baht for 1 and sponsorship letters for the other I really don't know.

You are applying personally using funds in a personal account so utility bill, driving licence etc. And after you apply you must remain in the UK until the process completes.

@Peter *******

what's not possible? You can't pick a bank?

@Farang ********

its worth him renewing his passport before applying for the 12 month extension of stay, assuming it can be done quickly enough after opening a bank account. If he doesn't get a new passport the extension will only be up to the date his passport expires

@Peter *******

pick one
