    I have read of one or two offices requiring 3 months prior to date of application. That is just plain wrong however as many post..."we all need to be aware of what our own immigration office requires"
  2. DrJack54
    I still don't follow the OP. Why anyone would secure a Tourist visa is anyone's guess given Visa Exempt is also 60. Also why would airline check for onward flight if they had e-Visa. Doesn't add up.
  3. DrJack54
    Thanks for update. Yes you did suggest the guys were not aware of how the rent a ticket works. They show valid booking for typically 48hrs. Longer period can be obtained by paying extra. Think it's up to 7 days.
  4. DrJack54
    And when you return to Thailand as per the OP question.....what happens. He has temporary permission if stay. The expiry of which is shown on reentry permit.
  5. DrJack54
    Agree. PE visa previously an option for some expats. For folk such as yourself with LTR etc that was a deal breaker. If the DTV holds up in future then why would anyone bother. Even guys such as myself doing annual extension retirement with 800k locked up are still in shock of DTV requirements (lack of) Santa Claus came unexpectedly.

    Misinformation ongoing from OP along with attacking replies. Thread closed

    Excellent report. Ta

    You will be given 180 day stamp. Yes Good choice and you will be stamped in for 180 days on return. Are you visa exempt to Vietnam? Edit: just now good report of doing extension of DTV at Thai immigration. https://aseannow.com/topic/1350107-destination-thailand-visa-extension-requirements-posted-on-immigration-website/#findComment-19642048

    That's a joke right.

    First up you ran into a nutter. Surprised that you even had to ring bank. At an office like CW the head io would have pointed her in right direction. As for exiting Thailand to "kill off" the non O-A.....you would be aware that you would reenter visa exempt and obtain a new Non O + subsequent 12 month extension. Opening a saving account no problem. Do that before you exit and kill the current permission of stay.

    https://www.immigration.go.th/?p=14695 Go to #22. Hit it. Then go to #4 on list.
  13. DrJack54
    What is the issue...hit this: https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ Next create account. Next fill in the fields. I just did this. Attached is screenshot just now. Difficult? No.
  14. DrJack54
    You didn't follow the clear simple instructions. 1. Hit the link 2. Scroll all the way down to e-Visa. In that section there is link... https://www.thaievisa.go.th Hit that. 3. Go to "other visas" 4. 5th on that list is Non O
  15. DrJack54
    Thinking you need to look again. Hit this link .... https://madrid.thaiembassy.org/en/page/19412-visa?menu=5d7cf78c15e39c3e0400199d Then scroll down to e-Visa. There is link .... Scroll down to "other" on Types of visas. I think number 5 on that list is Non O (retirement)
  16. DrJack54
    Correct. In some threads people have asked same question eg apply for e-Visa for Thailand while in Thailand. This will not work. I'm referring to nearby countries eg Vietnam etc. Your entry stamp to that country will prove you are in the country.
  17. DrJack54
    If using rent a ticket option then those tickets have limited validity. Often 48 hours. Unlikely would be checked. A genuine onward flight acceptable. You have received a lot of replies in various threads.
  18. DrJack54
    I'm done. You jump from obtaining a e-Visa to visa exempt entry in various threads Decide how you plan to enter Thailand for best advice
  19. DrJack54
    I have not heard/read that. Big change so doubt it's genuine claim. Guess it could be some more scrutiny on sham marriages. This is what you quoted from some random poster. That is rubbish. You can obtain a Non O in Thailand from visa exempt or tourist visa entry. That's why they have TM86 and TM87 forms for. To obtain Non O from tourist visa (TM86) or from Visa Exempt entry (TM87)
  20. DrJack54
    Don't need to... https://www.siam-legal.com/other-services/opening-a-bank-account-in-thailand.php In reading current situation SL are only assisting with bank accounts for few countries citizens and also doing the account in Pattaya.
  21. DrJack54
    It is. Siam Legal were previously mentioned in various threads as recommended agent for opening bank account. Some time ago they stopped offering this service. Not sure of current status. In any event the OP has his advice. For others that do not have a Thai bank account then 100% obtain e-Visa (Non O) outside of Thailand and use that to assist in opening bank account in Thailand.
  22. DrJack54
    The fact is that opening a bank account is almost impossible (currently) with a visa exempt entry. As a result anyone without a Thai bank account would be well advised to obtain e-Visa Non O prior to entering Thailand. The OP has a Thai bank account. I asked early for that very reason
  23. DrJack54
    Note re Thai Bank Account. The OP has one so he can obtain the Non O retirement e-Visa in Oz or alternatively obtain Non O at local immigration office in Thailand.
  24. DrJack54
    Your original question was regarding Non O e-Visa based on retirement. I posted this link earlier. Go to "other visa" and Non O retirement is 5th on the list. https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ Simple. Should take about 3 days
  25. DrJack54
    Being over 50 has nothing to do with it. Flying visa exempt from Saigon he most likely require an onward flight within 60 days to obtain boarding pass from airline.
