Did you check the website of the Thai embassy or consulate you are applying for your visa to for their processing time?

@Andrew ********

, funds don’t have to be internationally transferred for yearly extension application based on retirement.

No, if you enter Thailand on a visa-exempt for 60 days, you cannot apply for an in-country initial non-O visa based on being over 50/ retirement without a bank account in Thailand unless your embassy in Thailand issues an affidavit of income. You need 800K baht in a Thai bank account OR an embassy affidavit for an initial visa application at the local immigration office.

If you want to open a bank account for an extension, you need to enter on Non-O retirement issued from the Thai embassy/consulate outside Thailand.

, please read the link( I provided) to the requirement of rte London first.

@Greg **********

, I understood op is asking about that in case he does NOT have 800k baht in a bank account.

Tried to edit my comment to be a bit clearer, but my point stays the same.

@Gary *******

, correct. You have 90 days to enter Thailand (visa validity) to get a 90-day entry stamp, that 90 days starts on the day you arrive as day one.

If you mean that without having deposit in your Thai bank accout, yes, you can get a single entry Non-O visa for retirement purpose from Royal Thai Embassy, London with deposit in a bank account in another country.

But if you mean in ANY bank, no you cannot unless you can provide financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB (£1,500).

Please check the requirements for Non-O retirement from RTE London here.

Yes, you have to (if your local office requires you to submit TM.30 again after returning to the same address in Thailand).

TDAC and TM.30 are different systems. TDAC is about the record of arriving in Thailand, and the address in TDAC is about the place you are going to stay. TM.30 is to report that you are actually staying at that address.

@Jim ******

, Access the Immigration Bureau web page, then click the "Notifications of residence for foreigners" graphic icon.

Read the pop-up well, then go to the TM.30 web system.

Once you've gone through these, go to the system by the second link below.

Or go to the local immigration office, bringing all ID and property-related documents.
