I’ve deleted the photos of your passport stamps because they contain your actual passport number.

Ok. Couple of things here to keep in mind. The OP isn’t trying to transfer funds INTO their Thai bank. They are trying to transfer more than 50k from their bank to someone else’s.

This is a newish rule that doesn’t affect only K Bank but most. It has something to do with the facial recognition system the banks are using to allow transfers over 50k. This system doesn’t yet support use by foreigners.

Different banks have implemented different policies to get around this. My bank SCB used to have you go into the branch to sign a waiver that you’d allow transfers over that amount. Last month they said that would no longer work and you’d have to called their call centre to override the limit for a set period of time.

I’m sure other banks have similar systems in place rather than you actually having to go into a branch to transfer - but I can’t confirm this as I don’t have account with others.

SCB have said they are working on a “workaround” but haven’t got there yet.

If Bangkok Bank haven’t implemented this yet I’m sure they will soon. Perhaps not but we will have to wait and see.

Ok so you’re on an extension of stay based upon an original Non O visa. That’s good.

To extend that for a further 12 months you can either show 800k in a Thai bank for two months prior to applying for the extension or show 12 months of at least 65k baht international transfers each month.

Not a difficult task. Ask your local immigration office for the handout of what you’d need.

As you have the funds you really don’t need an agent. DIY cost is 1,900 baht and a few forms, bank letters and statements and photocopies etc.

Not a simple task that you’re trying to do. In fact it’s impossible. You can’t renew a visa. You can extend one, or you can buy a new one. Terminology aside I believe you’re trying to get a 12 month extension of stay based upon an original “retirement” visa.

The reason you’ll see conflicting information is that we don’t have enough information from you to be able to help.

You say you have a Non O visa. But is that the original visa you bought from an overseas consulate or embassy (or in country) or do you have a stamp in your passport that says “extension of stay”? This critical information matters.

If someone is saying you need insurance do you indeed have/initially had a Non O (no insurance required) or a Non OA (insurance required). Both are commonly referred to as a “retirement visa”.

If we can clear up some of these questions then we can point you in a better direction for understanding of your options to extend your visa/extension stamp.

You can only apply for a multiple entry tourist visa from your home country or country of legal residence.

They will want to see flights from your country AND a reason you need a multiple entry visa- which usually means a ticket to Thailand, a ticket out and a ticket back to Thailand.

Once you have the visa it is irrelevant which flights you take to get to Thailand. It doesn’t have to be a direct flight and it doesn’t matter where from or even if by air or not c

Within 72 hours prior to your arrival in Thailand. You can do it at the airport on arrival if you need to. There are kiosks there to do it.

Wise. Some prefer XE, try the numbers for the amount you’re trying to do. Charges change but so will offered exchange rates.

One may be better than the other depending on the amount and currency you’re wanting to transfer.

@Roland *******

No HCMCs fault entirely. They made the mistake.

Failure to pick up the mistake? Well how often have you written something and not realised you made a typo or transposed numbers without realising. Even after reading 3 or 4 times.

Anyone applying for a DTV will generally be ecstatic when they get it. They would very rarely go over it with a fine tooth comb, especially for a transposed passport number.

Or are you so perfect that you would never miss something like that?

FFS.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. This is something only HCMC can fix. They issued the DTV.

Normally errors on your part will mean your visa is denied, but this is an error on their part and they should fix it.

Immigration did the right thing - there’s nothing else they could do.

There is no Thai embassy in Bangkok. Not sure if you are meaning your embassy, but even if so there’s nothing they could do.
