Is it a visa where you talk about or is it a 1 year extension of stay based on retirement

@Vaner ******

. Big big difference. Extension of stay based on retirement the money not have to be international transfer and almost never go under consideration. Go to Thai Visa Thai visa advice group for good info !

The (real 🙄) rule is 2 months before you ask a year extension. But......y'r right, many imm. offices have some other requirements. The 2 months prior, have been implemented the same time that the bank account money, may not drop under the 400k฿ after 3 months.

More possibilities. I would say get a non imm. O Single Entry in y'r home country (90 days) based on retirement. And then after e.g. 60 days here, ask for a year retirement extension. Then also ask for a re-entry permit.

Also you can come in with a Tourist visa and ask for this non imm. O 'in country'. And THEN ask for a year extension based on retirement after e.g 30 days with a re-entry permit.

It's even possible to get this 'in country' non imm. O visa when you come in with visa exempt (So NO visa). This gives you 45 days (entering before 31st of March) to get this in country non imm. O visa.

For the year extensions and in country visa, you need at least have a Thai bank account with 800k฿ on it, (2 months before asking the year extension. Money transfered as international transfer for the in country non imm. O, no seasoning needed) in your name only, for reason of retirement.

Mmm, sorry

, I don't understand. You say you was here during Covid and "almost lost the will to live here". How DO you live here then ? You lost your year extension or so ? If you live here you should have the correct visa or extenssion I guess 🤷‍♂️

Yep, that's okay. I am, like the op's father, also from a country from where they still accept the income statement from our embassy. Happy with that so (in my case, retirement) no 800k฿ blocked (or 12 times 65k฿ as international transfer. We're not even allowed to do that as income proof)

Not quite. Father in law is from Germany so no 12 months 40k฿. It's an income statement from his embassy (Affidavit) or the 400k฿ or the combination method (Total of 400k฿ income and banked money)

Okay

After clicking this, your original drivers license pops up. This is even good enough to show police. Good luck !!
