The evisa system doesn’t offer the option for multiple entry Non O visas. So any embassy or consulate that uses the system no longer offers them. Some local consulates like Savannakhet or HCMC will still offer them for marriage visas. I’m not aware of any that will offer for a retirement visa.

Google “onward ticket” and there loads of sites that will sell you a “real” ticket for around $15. They are absolutely valid for visa applications as they are a valid ticket. It’s just they haven’t been paid for and they won’t be.

Alternatively you could buy a cheap throwaway ticket like Bangkok to Cambodia or even an international train or bus ticket. The latter two have to be international not to just a border town.

Ok. We need some more information to be able to help.

You are correct that you can only enter 2 times in a calendar year - but that is ONLY if you used a land or sea border and were entering under the visa exempt status.

With a physical visa entering by land or sea is irrelevant. Entering visa exempt via air there is no technical limit. That doesn’t mean you can do so forever it just means that it’s up to the immigration officer you hand your passport to on arrival.

The dates you posted don’t mention whether those entries were by a land border or by air, nor what type of visa you may or may not have had.

You’re sort of right, but sort of wrong.

For the initial Non O visa (if got in Thailand) and the initial year extension then there is no option to use monthly deposits. If your embassy won’t issue the affidavit of income (US, UK and Australia and possibly others) then the only option is 800k in a Thai bank.

Come the following year extension then you can switch to monthly deposits of 65k or more assuming you have kept the minimum amount from the initial year extension and can prove 12x foreign transfers in to your bank.

Some offices may allow a combination of monthly income and a set amount in your account. Not all will. You’d need to go speak with your office to see what they would allow and what amount passes their requirements.

The internet is a mind boggling place for correct information. Loads and loads of misinformation mixed with some good stuff. Forums like these may help users get help where needed, but for me no question is a stupid question. The OP doesn’t know so asks. If I or another member can help then that’s a plus in my book.

@Rok *******

In theory yes. In practice probably not if it’s a first report.

@Brooke *****

Why is it a stupid question? The OP doesn’t know if he needs to do a report so asks. Do you know everything about Thai immigration rules and policies? Perhaps there is something you don’t know.

Perhaps if you know everything you can become a moderator. Except even if you did with your attitude to posts it probably wouldn’t work out well.

@Ken ********

You go to the office your TM30 is filed at. Different offices have different requirements, but in general you may need to fill out the form TM47 and have a copy of your passport, entry stamp and visa. Some offices have a drive up window where you just show your passport.

Yes.

Look at the visa and check what it says. If you have one dated until that date it sounds as though you have a multiple entry tourist visa, not a single entry one.
