you might be right, as wouldn't it be announced inside the office, if there really was such an important change? a LOT of people apply for this visa every month

@Stelar ******

sure you can. It is 400K deposit, OR legalized (!) proof of monthly income of a minimum of 40,000.- THB. However only IF your embassy will issue an affidavit of income. Brits and Americans can't get them any more so in the first year it MUST be the 400,000.- THB deposit before they can supply the 12-months bank statement of incoming from abroad 40,000 THB every month

@Mike ******

let's wait for your and other people's ultimate confirmation. Chances are that today, the first day after a weekend plus a holiday, the officers were just having a bad day! And they only refused you out of their momentary mood. You actually choose a REALLY BAD day for your application

@Stelar ******

when you apply for the Non-Imm-O Visa in your home country, you will need a financial proof. Read the website of the Thai embassy in your home country on the requirements

@Aurelian ***************

you don't lose the visa, the single entry visa will expire as soon as you enter Thailand. You lose the stay permit. For a stay permit, you theoretically can buy a re-entry permit to keep the stay permit alive. It doesn't make much sense to buy a re-entry permit for any remaining less than 30 days stay permit

@Aurelian ***************

well, you always were supposed to change the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa categories - regardless if "married to a Thai" or "retirement" - into a "1-year extension of stay permit" - as this is from the very beginning, what the Non-Imm-O visa was made for. It is not a visa for touristic purposes. Sadly the changes afflict many expats who can't provide the required financial backups

I had to block the ruffian who insulted me, I hope he regrets his stupid remarks, because I am well informed while he is not

@Jacob *******

Same with Retirement Non-Imm-O visa - only single entry . . . . many ground breaking changes

@Jacob *******

same here - you cannot get a multi entry family Non-imm-O anymore, starting from 28th of October. Only the single entry version.
