suggests, I believe it is entirely possible to apply for a Non-O visa if you can provide either an updated or a three-month bank statement showing a balance of 800,000 baht, without the requirement that the funds have been maintained in the account for three full months. However, if you intend to apply based on monthly income, you must document that you have received this income for at least three consecutive months. The simplest option is certainly to try applying now before you travel. Alternatively, you may also apply from a neighboring country with funds held in a U.S. bank account. The address requirement in Thailand is not particularly strict at the time of application; a hotel booking for a certain period is usually sufficient. If you have a private address, you should of course provide that. (The earlier comment was only in reference to your still having an address in the U.S., which is not relevant when applying from outside the U.S.)

The Non-O visa is exempt from the requirement of an outbound ticket.

If you already maintain a bank account in Thailand and transfer the required funds, you may apply for a Non-O visa from within Thailand without the necessity of keeping the funds in the account for three months. This requirement applies solely to the first year’s extension of stay, for which the funds must remain in the account for a minimum of two months prior to submission of the application. Should you apply from Vietnam using a US passport, you are required to provide an address (or accommodation) in Thailand as part of the application.

A TM.30 address registration in Thailand is not sufficient for the visa application. You’ll need to provide a new booking confirmation for your coming stay.

If you are at least 50 years of age and have a verifiable monthly income equivalent to a minimum of 65,000 baht, you may apply for a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa on the basis of retirement. Upon arrival in Thailand, it is essential that you open a Thai bank account and deposit a minimum of 800,000 baht at the earliest opportunity. These funds must remain in your account for at least two months prior to submitting an application for your initial one-year extension of stay at the Immigration in Thailand.

This constitutes the first fundamental step; subsequent requirements may be addressed in due course.

With a Canadian passport and no recent history of tourist entries to Thailand, you will receive a 60-day visa exemption and a free entry stamp upon arrival. Your return ticket qualifies as the required onward ticket within the 60-day period.

Yes you can go and apply for a 30 days tourist extension from when you have 45 days left on your current stamp in Bangkok. You go to Lak Si IT-Square.

Bring your passport, a receipt of your TM.30 address registration and a pass photo.

You can just submit a travel itinerary with a prospective flight number and hotel or private residence address in Thailand. The e-visa portal doesn't require ticket documentation for a Non O visa, and you can travel anytime within the visa's validity period. If the embassy requests additional evidence of accommodation, a short-term booking or private residence address should suffice.

With a Laotian passport, you can enter on a 60-day visa exemption and receive a free stamp upon arrival. No visa is needed. This can also be extended with additional 30 days at your local immigration. So 90 days in total without a visa.

For furter stay you’ll have to provide more information.

Thanks for confirming. He doesn’t have a clue either

?. I understand that you may be a bit concerned and in denial if you are on an illegal stay arranged under the table through an agent. At some point, however, this may catch up with you — and it could happen sooner than you realize or would like.
