OP, perhaps I missed it howeverw you did not mention departure airport. From most countries a border entry would involve transit airport. Eg KL. You could try onward flight to Thailand. Worst case scenario flown back to departure point at your expense. Why not apply for tourist visa to Thailand and fly direct.

Marriage Visa - Proof of Income
DrJack54 replied to Aussie999's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
It's not an off limits thing. Your post will assist others in similar circumstances to yourself. The income letter for non O applied for in Thailand does not have clear answer. Best advice is since you are in Thailand visit your local immigration office and discuss options. -
Marriage Visa - Proof of Income
DrJack54 replied to Aussie999's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Perhaps you missed the OP... "This is for Australian Retirees. Seeing how the Australian Embassy does not provide proof of income, in this case the age pension, how do you prove proof of income for the "Marriage" Visa" The OP is Oz . Posts re embassy letter for income letter are off topic. Advice in future start your own thread to obtain best advice. Entering Thailand with a non O and then subsequent extension using embassy letter would have been best advice for your situation. -

Marriage Visa - Proof of Income
DrJack54 replied to Aussie999's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's an option and note non O also available from Vientiane. Note both places now require appointment. If the money in bank is the deal breaker for obtaining a non O inside Thailand from visa exempt entry then be aware that the visa exempt entry is currently 60 days and extended by 30 + if married can obtain further 60 day extension to visit wife. Of course this is to buy time for the non O application. For subsequent extensions you can use your embassy letter to meet the financial requirements. Of course the visa exempt entry + extensions can be repeated with border bounce to buy even more time. Messy but an option -

Retirement visa funds
DrJack54 replied to James76's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
If applying for non O based on retirement at immigration from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry you would only require the 800k in bank on day of application. It's not a visa renewal but rather a 12 month extension to your permission of stay. Requires 800k maintained in bank for 2 months prior to application and for 3 months after application and not below 400k in the other months. Agents you mentioned in trendy building would be last place I would recommend and nothing like 35k for an agent in places such as Pattaya -

Someone might be along to offer different advice. You mentioned "agent" If you opt to use agent they can sidestep the financial requirements. Which immigration office -

Marriage Visa - Proof of Income
DrJack54 replied to Aussie999's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Non O-A often referred to as "retirement visa" is applied for based on retirement. For the first extension of stay the extension would need to be applied for based on retirement. Along with the required insurance. The date of expiry of extension will match expiry of insurance policy. Subsequent extensions can be obtained based on marriage and extensions based on marriage do not require insurance. -

DTV Question (Odd Work Status)
DrJack54 replied to bl007's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Seems you are wishing to spend 6 months (two 3 month stints) in Thailand. Thinking you don't need a DTV. -
Up to you. Why start thread for advice. If you obtain que ticket prior to lunch that gives you an hour in basement to obtain bank letter and bank statement as mentioned in post above. While that poster did not make small deposit by doing so it updates bankbook and shows activity. They do that first then do the bank letter. To obtain your que ticket you will need to show filled in TM7. Also note that in recent times CW is requiring most recent TM47..

2. Up to 45 days early. 3. Bank letter day prior is fine. Note update and also make small deposit on day of application. At CW most banks on lower level. Notable exception is SCB. 4. You can make an appointment for extension which is good idea. You can turn up prior to lunch break and will be given ticket and you will be seen that day.
