Many thanks for all the information.

We are seniors, both 66 and are looking at retirement here in Thailand. Only complication is that my husband is in a wheelchair, his speech and writing are not good. I was told by the consulate in Brisbane that we may not need to go out of the country every 90 days, it would depend on the Koh Samui Immigration Department. I am just trying to gather as much information as I can before I confront them.

Thank you for this ubanjoe but could you please explain the 2nd sentence. "If you can qualify for an extension of stay". How or what does one do to 'qualify for an extension of stay'

I have recently arrived on Koh Samui with a multiple entry Non Imm O visa.

What do I need to do prior to or when the first 90 days are up?

One was for me yes, the other was for my husband (British)

I have just had 2 Multiple Entry Non Immigrant O visas issued from the Thai Consulate in Brisbane. Purpose of visit: long stay.

I needed to send:

2 application forms

2 passports

2 photos

Copy of flight itinerary (which I had been told need not be a return flight ticket)

1 bank statement from our joint account showing that we had 10000 AUD in the account

Money Order to the value of AUD 225 x 2 = 450

Self Addressed prepaid envelope for return of passports

I posted the items to Brisbane on a Tuesday and they were returned to me in Cairns by the next Tuesday.

Pretty impressive.
