yes they do 👏🏻

Ok, I have now found the right link. For proof of address, could a mortgage statement work (it says rental agreement, but we don’t rent)? All the utility bills are in my name, but mortgage is in joint names, my husband also has his own bank account.

Also, we’ve just transferred £10k each to our own individual bank accounts in the UK (looking at that old info) but looks like we might need the equivalent of ฿800k over here (or £1500 p/m) I knew that was the case for us getting the visa extended in Thailand) . Am I reading that correctly? It’s not an issue of so.

thanks Brandon. It was from the London embassy website, I couldn’t understand it, I’ll have to do some more digging.

he there Brandon,I am sorry to jump on this OP’s thread,but I’ve got a question that relates. We are over 50, we are moving to Hua Hin in January 2026 permanently. We are also spending 9 days there this October as we have some stuff for our house we are having built to deal with.

I see you have suggested to the OP to get the non-O on his trip prior to moving across so they can organise a bank account,and I am unsure whether I should look at doing this, I’m a bit confused about timelines though, if we have a non-o in October, leave to come back to the UK, would that mean we have to apply again for the non-o, or does it re-set itself and we would get a further 90 days when we land on 21st January.

I feel I’m overthinking things, but there is a lot to take on mentally and this my mind is going a bit crazy.

Also, am I correct in thinking the non-o men’s you don’t need police check (not that we have a criminal record) or medical insurance as I am getting conflicting info on this too.

Much appreciate it if you can respond.

Thank you

44 here in Hua Hin

Hua Hin?

we have not options from the uk as far as I can see for us to have our pet in the cabin.

@David ******

thanks so much, yes, we have the 800k. Great advice, thank you.

@David ******

sorry for jumping in, if we did Non O-A for the first year and then re-applied the following year for non-O, is that possible? We are also over 50, looking to retire next year over there, but having a year from the UK without having to stress in the first year to do it in Thailand would be handy.

@John *******

thank you,!we are aware of the rules on purchasing a property and the land issues, we are more interested in, can we rent the rooms out, paying Thai tax obviously, with a retirement visa?
