Can I extend my Non-OA visa in Thailand without depositing 800,000 THB, showing foreign income instead?

Just produce a new police report in the US. It doesn’t matter where you have been for the last two years. A police report doesn’t include your travel itinerary.

What are the options for renewing a 12-month AO Retirement visa in Thailand?
Marty *********
Getting a 1 year extension is easy. However you now want to prepare to meet the financial requirements. You have to decide whether you are going to use banked money or monthly income transfers.

Can I use monthly transfers from my US$ account in Thailand to meet the foreign income requirement for my visa?
Marty *********
You should talk to your bank about how to identify the money as coming from a foreign source. I talked to Kasikorn and they said they could provide a document. And of course talk to your immigration office.

Can I use monthly transfers from my US$ account in Thailand to meet the foreign income requirement for my visa?
Marty *********
Why 2 accounts? I have one account. I keep a minimum balance of 800,000 baht. I transfer my monthly expenses into the same account.

Can I apply for a Type O-A visa by mail from Thailand to a Thai embassy in the US?
Marty *********
My US address is my sister’s house. She has forwarded documents sent to me at that address. If you have a similar arrangement in the US then you could try mailing “from within the US” that way. It will cost a bit more and everything will take longer in the mail.

What are the important steps to take when arriving in Thailand with an OA retirement visa?
Marty *********
Open your passport to the visa page and tell them you have an O-A visa. I think there is a place on the arrival card to put the visa number as well. And check before you leave.
