If they are married it’s 800.000 for both of them (not each). Must be in bank prior 2 months before. Can also monthly income not less than 65.000 baht, or combination of the two. Can have OA visa ( non immigrant based on retirement) in country of origin, or O non immigrant in Thailand.

So many times I told people to avoid those agencies. There are (a few) who are honest, but as I say..a few. A friend of mine didn’t listen and is now banned for 5 years…..

, You have to have 800.000 in the bank for at least 2 months before you apply for non immigrant O. and leave it till 3 months after. Or you have to prove you have an income not lesser than 65.000 baht a month from the previous year. In both cases you need bank letter to prove that. You also can, if you don’t have 65.000 a month, 400.000 and the rest from your income as long as you can prove 800.000 baht. If you are married and over 50, it doesn’t matter what age your spouse is, you can take her as dependant on your visa. And you have to prove the income as I stated. (800.000 together) not separately.

, O is for one year. No visa runs. But requires an income from 65.000 baht a month or bank account for 800.000 baht

Not really , can also with letter of approval from your home bank or saving and income together for the amount of 800.000, or monthly income 65.000 baht alone.

, toerist visa and convert to O. easily done

If you know the law… don’t complain

@Bim ******

I agree, most of the people I know did it that way.

@Bim ******

, good advice

You can apply for O in Thailand ( immidiatly) but not for OA (only outside Thailand). Easy to do yourself…
