What steps do I need to take to cancel my education visa in Thailand to apply for a smart visa?

Kevin ***********

Robert isn’t saying you just “get 7 days”. You get nothing. You apply for, and pay for, another extension of some kind. If it is rejected, then you have to leave within 7 days.

Has anyone been asked to show proof of 800k in a Thai bank after renewing their O or OA visa?

Kevin ***********

Not that you would do it, but if you violate any terms of your visa/extension you could be considered to be on overstay from that point onwards

Where in Bangkok can I apply for the unable to travel due to COVID extension after my visa was cancelled?

Kevin ***********

Since the extension is totally at the discretion of the immigration officer you should not be planning anything based on someone else’s experience

What is the best visa option for retirees from Denmark moving to Phuket, Thailand?

Kevin ***********

It’s valid for 6 months from the day it’s ISSUED. If you get it 1 September you can enter as many times as you like for 60-90 days at a time until about 1 March. If you enter the last day you would have almost 9 months total.

It’s 6 months to enter not the final exit date. BUT their second stay is too long so they would have to exit and enter during it.

I second Tod’s recommendation. I used the METV for 3 winters. But note the 6 months starts ticking when the visa is issued. You have to balance time to get it versus not wasting days.

@Robert ********

It doesn’t have to be new money. There is no time limit as long as you can prove that 800K of the 10 million came in as an international transfer.

I meant a regular “cash” account rather than a mutual fund account if Thailand has such a thing
