I am here in Thailand on Visa exempt. I cannot get a bank account as tourist, but I cannot get Non-O Immigrant Visa without a bank account! I meet qualifications for Retirement Visa. I have a lease through early July In Karon Beach Phuket.

Is there any way I can get the Non-O without returning to USA?

Looks like tourists can't open bank accounts now. All new non O visa applications are on hold. Confirmed with two agents.

Hi everyone. I have 2 questions, 1- Did the immigration rules change this Feb 1 , 2025? 2- I had pension income verified by my Canadian embassy (over the 65k/Mon) but immigration did not accept it stating that it is not a "guarantee" from the embassy. Did anyone experience this, and can you please share?

Now I have to open bank account and deposit 800k bht into the account to get me 3 + 12 month visa. So I need to transfer 30k dollars from Canada into Thailand which is not an easy task.

Thanks guys!!!

Has anybody had experience applying for the DTV Softpower option in New Zealand?

How many months bank account showing 500,000 baht is required, and what other income information is needed please?

To apply for dtv shall I use my main bank account with a lot of activity or one with less activity that I mostly use for rent transfers?

Hello everyone

I am very interested by DTV Visa but I have a question

for renewal every 180 days, do we have to maintain the 500k bath on the bank account?

Thank you

Hello group. I am going to extend my 1y non O retirement visa this August after my first year in the land of smiles. To your knowledge, 1- did I have to keep 800k THB in my bank account for the whole 1st year? 2- can I bring my bank account balance down to 400k THB 3 months after my 2nd year non-O visa extension? 3- can I get my balance down to 400k THB now and top it up to 800k THB 2 months before extending? Thank you so much!!

When applying for a 90 Day O-Visa. Online. Back in home country. Does Wise Account Statement. With sufficient funds in. Meet the criteria. Asked by the Administration at the Thai E=Visa Official Website…..?

I'm currently on an extension for retirement which will expire in August but I want to change to marriage. The GSB bank has now stopped the app on the phone for foreigners so I want to close this account but if I'm changing to marriage visa do I still need to keep this account with the minimum 400000 baht in for the retirement visa?
