I’ve seen the problems some are having with immigration trying to return. In the last 12 months I’ve had 1 x 60 day visa + 30, 1 x 30 + 30 and 2 x 60 + 30’s in my passport.

Next time I enter I will be applying for the Non-O based on retirement but don’t want to risk entering on a 60 day again, just in case. So I looked up the requirements to apply for the 90 day Non-O.

Am I missing something because I’ve seen what is needed to apply for the same visa in Thailand and the online application didn’t ask for that much. It asked for normal stuff like passport details, proof of UK address, flight details, Thailand address, current photo and proof of funds, showing I had the equivalent of 800k baht in my UK bank. That’s it!

So when I arrive and apply for the extension, do I 100% not have to show 800k in my Thai account? If not, what happens the next year when it’s time to renew? I’m guessing I’ll need the 800k 2 months before application or 12 x 65k pm transfers right?

The annual extension on my Non-O based on family is up on April 1st. I'll be out of the country before then. What is the last date that I can apply for the next annual extension? All docs and funds are in place and ready to go again. Monday 24th March should be okay? or is the week before too close? TIA.

Hello,

I am a European citizen planning to apply for a DTV visa in Hanoi. I have a bank account in Vietnam and intend to use it to provide proof of 500,000 THB in VND.

Question:

Can a European citizen use a Vietnamese bank account with an equivalent of 500,000 THB in VND as financial proof?

Thank you in advance!

I will apply for DTV Visa in Vietnam or Laos. I wonder if I enter a country and get the visa entry stamp to apply, then leave that country, but come back with a different visa stamp than the one used to apply, is it OK?

Are there pros and cons for applying in Laos over Vietnam? Or say Vietnam over Cambodia? I wanted to explore more of Laos after applying.

Destination Thailand Visa extension requirements posted on Bangkok immigration's website

[members only]

Check with your office to see if they have the hand out listing the requirements. This should be pretty close to what they want at most offices though :)
