It might be worth pointing out that you need to do a search after doing a new notification and downloading a copy for later use when dealing with immigration because after 7 days you won’t be able to find it. See red text below.

Exactly right. I obtained an Elite visa after being made redundant in 2019 with the intention of finding a new job and had detailed discussions with TE about the process for getting a non B. As it happened I did get a new job but it was during Covid travel restrictions and I wasn’t able to travel to a regional consulate to obtain a non B and lost the job opportunity. Eventually I got married in March 2024, travelled to Penang in May and obtained a 90 day non O ( marriage), reentered Thailand on the non O and obtained a 1 year extension to the non O in July at CW. My Elite visa was unaffected and is still valid. The process would be the same if I wanted to obtain a non B. The only thing I would suggest that you look out for is that if you leave Thailand to get a non B make sure that you show the IO the non B visa on entry so he doesn’t stamp you in on the Elite visa. BTW even if you enter on a different visa TE still provides assistance at the airport and airport transfer as your membership privileges are still available to you. Note that most of the regional consulates are moving to the E visa system now so the days of being able to bounce out to Singapore or Penang for a few days to get a non B seem to be over.

Just to be clear they weren’t asking for proof that funds came from overseas they just wanted to see the incoming transfer and were quite happy that the source of funds was your wife’s account? Is my understanding correct? Planning ahead to my extension next year my funds were transferred in to my account from overseas this year and I intend to maintain the 400k balance until my renewal next July so I would have to show them my bank book which shows the incoming transfer this year. Is that correct?

The RTE London website states “ Foreigners entering Thailand by any means under the Visa Exemption scheme are required at the port of entry to have proof of planned travel (confirmed air, train, bus, or boat tickets) to leave Thailand within 60 days of the arrival date. Otherwise, a visa must be obtained before entering Thailand.”

@Wolf *****

He might also need to show evidence of a return or onward flight and proof of funds

@Ryan *******

They don’t need visas but they need an onward or return ticket if they are going to enter on a visa exempt entry.

@Dora *****

As I understand it you don’t need to show a return or onward ticket if you have a non immigrant visa with a re entry permit

@Tim *****

Which office did you get your marriage extension from? My understanding was that marriage extension didn’t require proof of transfer from overseas. It didn’t come up when I did mine at CW in July.

@Russell *******

30 day report?

@Randy *******

By called I meant when your number came up. Didn’t you show your appointment slip when you arrived? Anyway you weren’t at CW were you so it might be different.
