How can I make an appointment at the Thai Embassy in Laos for my visa application?

@John *********

Please tell where you don't need for example 800k in a Thai bank if you change from tourist visa to a 90 days Non-O based on retirement. Isn't that a financial requirement?

Why is the Legalization application process different at the Thai embassies in Washington DC and Los Angeles?

@Jay ******

If you let a Thai lady "help" you, then you're in a trouble. Most of the time they haven't got a clue.

You can only change from tourist visa (or visa exempt) to a 90 days Non-O at an immigration office in Thailand. There are also financial requirements.

@May *****

"Officially" according to Wise "Purchase property" should work. But shit do happen.

When you've been here a while you get used to illogical requirements. Nothing to get stressed out about. 😎

It actually depends on which Thai bank you have.

@Ling ****

The "Purchase property" reason also triggers the transfer to show up as international/foreign together with "Funds for long term stay in Thailand". If it shows up as international or not depends on the receiving bank. Same with the bank code.

Is it normal to be charged so much when converting a TR visa to a Non-O visa in Thailand?

Can I apply for a one-year extension of my Non-O visa while planning to leave Thailand for a short trip?

Max *************

@Steve **

It's for every 1 year extension. It's done in a few minutes as long as your documents are in order. At Chonburi immigration in Jomtien, you can pick up your passport next day. Thats the only difference.
