No. You can apply for non O based on retirement and marriage from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry at your Thai immigration office.

An appointment is not compulsory. Obtain que ticket AM and you will be attended to that day. Do the banking requirements during lunch break.

If you cancelled the first FD account the bank would have kept the bank book. Suggest you go to bank where FD was cancelled and inquire about obtaining some sort of record (bank statement)

Yes. Note it's not a 30 day tourist visa. It's a visa exempt entry and can be extended by 30 days. 1900b You can also do border bounces to obtain 30 + 30 extension twice

eVisa for Thailand was intended to be applied for in your own country or country where you have residence status. There are reports of being able to apply for eVisa while out of pp country. Suggest you apply and if eVisa issued you would not have trouble upon entry to Thailand.

You are obtaining a 12 month extension. What financial requirements are you using. Money in bank or income. Which immigration office?

You require an appointment for Vientiane. It's often booked out weeks in advance Here is link: https://thaivisavientiane.com/# You should be ok for a second SETV. Fall back option if refused is to enter visa exempt at friendship bridge.

Have you obtained a 30 day extension to your SETV. How long do you wish to stay in Thailand.

Ask again since the answer should be yes.

You need to apply for non O with 15+ days remaining on you permit. Some offices longer eg CM 21 days + Hence some folk apply for 30 day extension to visa exempt entry. Do you have a Thai bank account in your name only. Which immigration office. Non O based on marriage or retirement? https://aseannow.com/topic/1311886-visa-exempt-to-retirement-extension-process-and-cost/

Wife needs to enter Thailand on a non O. https://aseannow.com/topic/1245491-dependant-spouse-with-extension-to-stay-based-on-retirement/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1238930-non-o-or-dependent-for-wife/

Thanks for your post. Thinking we can close thread.

Yes. CW apply the current rules. You stay overnight in another province or exit Thailand and in both examples have continuous permission of stay then a TM30 is not required. Posts from random folk about what their immigration office does is waste of time. Everyone needs to be aware of their own immigration office "rules"

Poor advice. Especially given fact of going to Savannakhet to apply for a single entry non O

Thread full of misinformation. As pointed out third thread of unsubstantiated posts. Thread closed

Think you mean Pink Card. How will it assist you

What about home visit? A single entry non O from Savannakhet would give you a 90 day stamp and subsequently you could obtain a 12 month extension. You could delay current extension date by obtaining 60 day extension to visit wife

Why does it have to be 13 May. Why you going to Savannakhet. To obtain another single entry non O ? You could do a border bounce obtain 30 day visa exempt stamp. Extend that stamp by 30 then extend by 60 days to visit wife

OP, age? Over 50

No insurance is required for annual extensions to a non O based on retirement. Insurance is required for extensions from a non O-A based on retirement

If refused visa at Savannakhet how do you plan to reenter Thailand. Think you have used 2 visa exempt via land. Last resort suggest flight to CNX try to enter visa exempt via airport. Basically time to leave Thailand. You mentioned that you are young. Spend time in Vietnam. You are also visa exempt entry there
