Hi. I had the same query recently. The 90 days start from when you arrive in Thailand. 😊

Hi Jay. I was interested in what you said. Would you be able to give me the contact details of your tax preparation agent in Bkk. Thankyou.

Opened an account with them in Khon Kaen a few weeks ago for yearly retirement visa. Quite straight forward. The only thing I was not expecting was they wanted my U.K. tax reference number.

You can phone them up. There are 4 ext numbers to speak to someone in the Thai Embassy in London. You can only phone between 2pm and 5 pm weekdays. Unless they have recently changed this. But be warned it usually takes 45 minutes to an hour to speak to someone.

Thankyou.

Who did you take that cover with

@Cris *****

opened an account this week with Kasikorn in khon kaen with a non o visa and a certificate from immigration to apply for a yearly retirement visa after funds in back for 2 month. The bank wanted my U.K. tax reference which I was not expecting

Hi Stuart. I am doing actually the same. Landed in Bangkok yesterday. Apply for a Non O 90 day Visa in the uk on line at the Thai Embassy London. You do not need the medical certificate or police clearance with the Non O. Not the Non OA visa this one you need them. Then after the funds in the Thai bank account you apply for the yearly retirement visa. If you need to speak to the Thai embassy in London be prepared for a long wait to speak to someone. You will be put on hold in a queue and then told that there in a technical problem try later. They have 4 extensions to speak to someone in the visa dept. Try another extension straight away.
