depending on the type of non-O, financial proof is required.

If you have the non-O visa, there is no requirement for proof of onward travel out of Thailand. One way travel is fine.

@Peter ********

no, they stopped accepting appointments

I've never heard of anyone successfully extending (not renewing) a non-OX visa in order to get the second 5 years. I've read reports of people that tried, including bringing everything that immigration should require to do so. But they were told that it wasn't possible.

If you are going to try, the money must be in a Thai bank account, in liquid cash.

You need to go to your immigration office to ask for the specific requirements. I believe it's 3 million baht but you'll want to check for yourself what your office requires. Expect to be rejected though.

I'm assuming you're Australian. Most people just go back to Australia and get a new non-OX using money in their home bank account, since the one consulate in Australia is the only one in the world Thai allows that. So Australians are the only one who use this visa.

@Kamran ********

I'm referencing the non-O retirement visa. DTV is its own beast.

Because you're American, your income is irrelevant. The US embassy in Thailand does not verify income, so you cannot use that for the first annual extension. That means the only thing you can use for the first one year retirement extension is 800,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your name only. Having a portfolio isn't going to help you unless you're willing to cash it all out and transfer those funds into Thailand and keep them mostly locked up, for at least 1.5 years.

If you already have the visa, it doesn't really matter anymore. If you don't, then you better figure out a way to qualify quickly.

You can get a re-entry permit for any entry stamp if you want to. But it doesn't do anything except prevent your permission to stay in Thailand from being cancelled when you leave Thailand. It won't add any extra time or anything.

If you're asking if the 1 year multiple-entry non-O visa based on marriage is still available, the answer to that is no. The only non-O visa currently is the 90 day single entry non-O visa.

It's likely the instructions from the embassy say to print the visa and hand it over with your passport. For Thailand, you always want everything printed. You probably could get in without it printed, but you would need to make sure the passport control officers understands you have it because there's a risk of you being stamped in incorrectly without it. You'll still need it printed later anyways for your extension and possibly for your bank.

@Glenn ******

your search showed wrong. It's been multiple years already for evisa. Thai embassies do not even allow foreigners inside anymore
