give them a phone call, they will probably straighten things out for you. My last two 90 day reports for Kalasin, I had to call them, and then they straightened it out.

Should Tod Daniels stay as a moderator in the Thai Visa Advice group?

George ******************

Todd, there are one or two moderators I might sometimes have a problem with, but you are not one of them. When you reply on a post, I take it as gospel and don't bother reading other comments. Please keep up the good work.

What should I do if I submitted my 90-day report late to the Thai immigration office?

George ******************

@Tod ********

if it is not approved by Thursday give them a call to remind them. I have had to do this with Kalasin Immigration a couple of times. They will look on their computer see they missed it and get back to you that day with approval. If not you can go in person on Friday.

Do I need to maintain 800K in a Thai bank for a Non-O retirement visa if I have an affidavit of income from the Canadian consulate?

George ******************

I have been using the Canadian Affidavit for 15 years now. Have copies of your T4 slips to show them proof of income. The letter they give you is good for 6 months. The fee is $50 Canadian.

What was your experience with the retirement visa extension process at Jomtien Immigration?

George ******************

I did mine last week in Kalasin, everything went great, out in a little over an hour with a year long extension due to retirement. They even updated my 90 day report for another 90 days, it wasn't due or another month.

Do I need a Thai bank account to apply for a retirement visa (O) if I have an affidavit of income from my embassy?

George ******************

@Tom ********

I am Canadian and get a letter from the Canadian Embassy, in the 12 plus years I have been doing this, I have not been asked to see a Thai Bank Book. I always take one with me, but do not submit it with my application and have never been asked for it.

Can I apply for a Non-O visa as a Canadian citizen based on my Thai daughter?

George ******************

If you have ฿800,000 in a Thai Bank Account or can show an income of at least ฿65,000 a month. The Canadian embassy will issue income letters, the easiest way is to come on Non-O based on retirement.
