and at the embassy/consulate at home you just use your income or funds at home to qualify. You open a bank account in Thailand and bank the required 800K baht within a month and apply for your first year extension of stay after two months.

Apply online for a Non O retirement visa here;

You’ll get 60 days upon arrival and can apply for a 30 days extension at your local immigration. 90 days in total without any visa.

At least embassies/consulates in Malaysia require health insurance also for the initial 90 days Non O.

ok thanks, so just relax

You’ll need to go and ask them and ask for a 7 days extension denied stamp on your current exemption/extension in the first place and maybe do a border bounce. But they have to advise you, 15-21 days should normally be sufficient for a Non O in country.

@Priyanshu ********

you can apply for a 30 days extension at your local immigration at 1900 baht.

It’s seven days prior to the application for extension of stay based on custodian of a thai child.

EDIT

7 days requirement was from one immigration. At the immigration in Bangkok it’s sufficient with the funds in your bank account at date when you apply. I suggest you ask your immigration, but there’s no two months seasoning requirement as for marriage.

You can enter on a visa exemption, but you’ll need to do a border bounce to activate your visa when you receive it.

@Thomas ******

Thanks, As I felt quite confident about. Happy on your behalf. Enjoy your stay. 🤗

Possibly, there’s no total time mentioned, I’ve read 8 hours previously, but it could be from someone else closer to the border.
