, FYI, this is the embassy in Norway.

I don't know about the one in Greece

@James *******

, I would say so 😂

The same embassy also requires an onward ticket for every visa, even the long term ones

@James *******

, yes it is

Some embassys requires the 400 000 health insurance for re-entry permit holders too.

It depends on the embassy that issues the visa.

Some require onward tickets and some don't.

@James *******

, that is wrong.

It's 90 days from the last report.

@Jose *********

, you have to show the money for both the visa and the extension.

But only the 1 year extension requires the money to be seasoned.

@Jose *********

, 2000 baht is the fee for the visa.

The requirements are being over 50 years of age, meeting the financial requirements and having at least 15 days left of your admitted stay in Thailand.

The rest is a filled out application form and a bunch of copies.

If you arrive on visa exemption, the form is TM87.

If you arrive on a tourist visa, the form is TM86.

The form for extension of stay is TM7.

@Jose *********

, the initial 90 days (from the non-immigrant O visa) will set you back 2000 baht.

The extension of stay costs 1900 baht.

The 800 000 for the visa does not require seasoning of the funds.

For the extension, the funds must be seasoned for 2 months before the application is made.

Then for 3 months after the extension is granted.

The balance can not go below 400 000 for the rest of the year.

Benjamin Hays, seems to be common from the Thai Embassy in Sweden, for some reason
