Same question and answer as above;

If your embassy doesn’t offer to give you a affidavit letter regarding income, you’ll need to prove the first year yourself by showing proof of 800K baht in a Thai bank. For the second year after showing proof of twelve months consecutive transfers of minimum 65K baht you can switch to the income method. And you’ll need to prove the requirements individually.

Maybe a bit to early to apply. A tourist visa is valid for 90 days after it’s issued from your embassy/consulate and processing time in London is normally two-three days.

@Adam ********

Sounds familiar.😉

If you also plan a trip to Vietnam and re-enter to Thailand I personally would have considered to apply for a six months multiple entries tourist visa at home before I left for Thailand to ensure your stay is covered with a visa. Gives you a 60 days stay with a possible 30 days extension each time you enter Thailand within 180 days.

No, the visa is valid for 90 days after it’s issued or e-mailed to you and you can enter and get a 90 days stay at any day within this periode. Non O visa is also excused for airticket requirements but you just put a itinerary date when you apply.

No, has to be transferred to your account in Thailand if you want to use it as financial proof for your extension of stays.

If you want to invite your GF to Europe you might need to prove your relationship. For Thailand it’s irrelevant unless you’re formally married. If you apply for a Non O based on retirement relationship is no issue.

@Mikkel ******

yes, and according to the dates given this is the case.

You’ll get an extension of stay until your passport expires.
