I has this infographic on it.
They are very well aware of those requirements. That's what it said until last week. They just changed it last week. If you follow this, a medical insurance of 3000,000 Bath is not necessary either
Applicant must have a health insurance covering the length of stay in Thailand with no less than 100,000 USD or 3,000,000 THB for overall medical coverage. (must be specifically mentioned)

This is a possibility and there are more, but no solution to the problem.

It appears to be incorrect info posted on a few odd embassy and official consulates.
It has not been announced by the MFA or immigration.
34 minutes ago, ubonjoe said:Being posted on their websites does not make it official.
For it to be official it has to be done as a order by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It is an official website of those Thai embassies and the applicant will have to meet the requirements. Not that they have much choice. I can only hope that this gets in the media and hope that MFA reads and corrects this by sending their embassy a note about this

Since last week, the financial requirements for a Non-immigrant O-A have been increased.
See Thai Embassy The Hague 1200 000 Baht and Thai Embassy Brussels 1000 000 Baht. Why the difference?
Has any information about that appeared in the media or did I miss it? If so, where can I find that. Preferably the official info/note.Will this also apply to O-A extensions?
Non-immigrant Visa “O-A” (Long Stay) Visa for Long Stay (retirement) – Royal Thai Embassy Brussels

OR An attestation which mentions that you receive at least 2,7000 € (two-thousand-seven-hundred euros) per month as well as bank statements of the last 6 months which prove that you receive that amount.

In the past you could read following immigration order from 18 december 2018 about monthly transfers but i can't find it back on ThaiVisa.
Mayby Ubon Joe or somebody can help to find it back or give us a link to that order
"Immigration order 0029-173 - 18dec18 - Supporting evidence of income for visa extension in case of family members and retirement"

Like i said in an other post.
"It is only a thought, but it may be that here only the countries are meant whose embassy no longer provides Affidavit (US, England, Australia). It is indeed impossible to use the combination method if your embassy no longer delivers Affidavit or other proof of income. But that has been around since the beginning of this year and in all immigration offices. For countries where the embassy is still delivering an Affidavit or other proof of income, the combination may still be possible."

I got my retirement extension in March in Kanchanaburi. No medical certificate was asked. I'm 61

Not in Vientiane. You pay when you pickup your passport the next afternoon.
ok different from other places than.

I thought you have to pay when you make the application and not when collecting the visa.

For info. TM30 report by registered mail in Bangkok is possible and easy. We do it always that way. Use the same adress as for the 90 days report. Include an enveloppe with stamp and return adress. About 5 days later you will receive the receipt at home

It is 450 baht for the transport across no mans land, 500 baht for the Myanmar border pass and 10 baht for a copy of your passport.
You pay the 960 baht at the travel agency just after you clear Thai immigration.
Tks.

good post for me
I'm going over tomorrow for the same
what mode of transportation did you use to cross no man's land and back?
can you break down your costs?
do you know if it is cheaper to use usd than the baht like it is at nong kai crossing?
thanks
I would also like to know this.
Also where, when and to whom to pay the 960 Baht. -
For info.
We (my wife) do it by registered mail in Bangkok.
We tried it once in the past and it works. We have since done it several times without problems.
Use the same procedure and address as a 90-day notice by mail.
Just sent the two completed forms of the TM30. No copy of ID card or Tambien Baan. (They also never asked us)
They return the receipt after a week and I keep it in my passport. -

Transport across the border is part of the 950 baht fee being charged now.
Can you order that just behind the Thai immigration ? There is a small traval office if i remind correct or is it now somewhere else

At Phu Nam Ron. Is transport available from the Thai immigration tot Myanmar immigration and back like before ?

this is a bit confusing. the Phu Nam Ron crossing is to my knowledge in Kantchanburi/Cambodia (tell me if I am wrong), and not in Myanmar.
the title of this topic also mentions Kanchanaburi.
I am going there next week to extend my "non O" visa and was told today by the travel agent I use, that there is no problem.
3 hours to go there, 45 minutes waiting at the border (doing some duty free shopping) and then 3 hours back to Pattaya (with lunch served half way).
good luck

Phu Nam Ron (Thailand) and Htee Khee (Myanmar) is the border at Kanchanaburi. Not Cambodia.

- If husband is foreigner, the following evidence of income must be submitted.
7.1 A guarantee letter from the local or overseas Embassy or Consulate, proving the monthly pension of the Applicant not less than Baht 40,000* per month; or
7.2 A guarantee letter in Thai language from the commercial bank in Thailand (Attention: Immigration Commissioner) and a copy of all entries of the applicant’s passbook showing that the applicant has a saving or fixed deposit account of not less than Baht 400,000*
(Documents under 7.1and 7.2 must be issued and updated to be the same date of the Application and all documents must be in the Applicant’s name.)
(Documents under 7.1and 7.2 must be issued and updated to be the same date of the Application and all documents must be in the Applicant’s name.
I thought that maximum 3 days old also is accepted for the guarentee letter. (Embassy or bank)
How do you do that on the same day with a guarantee letter from an overseas Embassy or Consulate ?The 7.1 reference is an error. A income letter can be up to 6 months old.
Bangkok immigration will accept a letter from the bank issued the day before the application but the bank book must be updated on the date of application.
Makes sense

Thank you.
Searched everywhere but is nowhere precisely described

Question :
30 days "Visa Exemption" via an airport, and 15 days over land. That is clear.
How many days when arriving via a seaport? e.g. after a cruise.
15 or 30 days?
Thank you.

Basically you need 800,000 Baht in a Thai bank OR 65,000 monthly income OR a combination of the two.
Your Wife can then get the same 12 month extension as your dependant. No financials needed.
What about this ?
Retirement visa extension restrictions for foreign married couples -
Just tried yesterday. Failed . It's open but the Thai dude was crazy there. Yelled at me for not sure what reason. But what he was saying I think is I had to stay 1 night in Myanmar. But there is no guesthouse on the Myanmar side unless you pay 800 baht n four hours to go to dawai. Crazy. I also heard of this border turning down two teachers from returning so they had to go to yangoon n fly in. But I've heard many first hand accounts of this being an easy visa run place. I decided to cross the country n hit poipet. Mostly because that guy freaked me out. I was quiet n gentle the whole time n he acted like Mussolini. My friend today said he was probably just drunk if it was late in the day. Poor guy.
I was there 10 days ago. Non-immigrant "O". No problem. Easy Visa run place indeed..

This rule is for new arrivals entering Thailand and report submitted within 24 hours I believe, same as in if you change address report again to the nearest immo office.
Wrong
The report needs to be made when a person takes up residence not only after arrival.
It is the same report hotels make when you check in. That is why they make copy of your passport and departure card.
Can this TM 30 form be sent by e-mail and what is the e-mail adres (for Bangkok) ?
Tks

Agree. Been looking for that official document where it says this for months. The only thing that has appeared about it is in newspapers and from a spokesman, but no official note about it but it is a requirement for NON OA by most Thai embassies.
May be it show up one day . Thanks anyway
