Ours just arrived in the post one day!!!

@Maxim **********

it's a shame coz KK are really helpful and friendly. Hope it goes well for you.

I’ve checked Khon Kaen but it’s closed on Saturday. Sorry 😐

Thank you all so much for your advice. Just another quick supplementary question. When we do our second and subsequent 90 days reporting will we need all of the documents or just a filled in TM30 only? And if we go out of the country and return home to Thailand how much of that paperwork will we need. Thanks once again.

We are in Khon Kaen and the Immigration Office is really good.

Thanks for the question and replies. Our OA visa has last entry date of 30 August so it really helps to know the procedures for re-entry. Next year we'll be asking how to do an extension!!

We just put visiting friends and family.

We live near Manchester when we’re in the UK so did it all by post. There were a couple of queries and some extra requirements but they were dealt with quickly and we got our Passports back quickly with the Visa 🎉🎉🎉

My husband is 56 and I’m 54 and we also have family in Thailand. We got a Non-OA Visa last September from the Thai London Embassy. It was fairly straightforward and you need various documentation and either proof of income or lump sum. We applied for the multiple entry one so we can come and go as we pleased. Don’t be too put off with scare stories, it’s a little time consuming but well well worth it.

You are better to apply for it in the UK as then the funds don’t have to be in Thailand, which for us was preferable.

Our tax returns were rejected as they wanted to see bank statements of actual income.
