@Jim ******

no

yes I understand that but if I’m on a Visa exempt for 60 days and then say halfway through that holiday can I then apply for a non-immigrant oo and then open a bank account while still in Thailand, I’m slightly confused because then you would be given a non immigrant o Visa for 90 days so I don’t think that can be done  on top of the 60 days you already have with your exempt

Hi ,I thought you had to apply in your own country for a non o based on retirement? Can you apply on a visa exempt while in Thailand?

@Steve **********

pensions

I’ve come 30 days max times every year and I’ve never had a problem with immigration

@Leong **********

I agree she’s never maxed out her stay and she’s never had an extension so she will be totally fine

@Stuart *****

hi

I believe you do not need 800 k in a Thai bank for a Non o if your embassy certifies your pension 65k pm or above

I am a Irish citizen and my embassy still certifies unlike uk USA Australia embassy’s

Well done

My last 4 visits over 18 months I never had to queue more then 15 minutes,really surprised this time of year it’s so busy

Yes and you always be a foreigner in Thailand,never made 100 % welcome behind them smiling faces
