Change from Visa Exempt to Non-O
DrJack54 replied to Moti24's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
https://aseannow.com/topic/1315828-visa-exempt-to-90-day-non-o-spouse-visa-conversion-in-thailand/ Thinking you have couple of issues. You should apply for non O with 15+ days remaining on your permission of stay. If required you can obtain 30 day extension or a 60 day extension to visit wife. Has funds been in bank for 2 months. True the rule is funds in account day of application However earlier this year Jomtien was insisting on 2 months seasoning Same thread currently running here https://aseannow.com/topic/1325238-procedures-for-non-imm-o-and-one-year-retirement-extension-from-a-visa-excempt-30-day-entry/ -
Provided the funds (800k) have been in the account for 2 months you should be fine at Jomtien immigration. Earlier this year they were insisting the 800k had to be in account for 2 months. This made it impossible for folk with visa exempt entry to obtain non O The actual rule is 800k in account on day of application. No seasoning required

If you plan to use income method why have any money in a Thai bank. 65k per month and you can use it as you wish. -
Retirement 800k rules
DrJack54 replied to mja1906's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
That's incorrect. A non O based on retirement or marriage can be obtained at Thai immigration from a visa exempt or tourist visa entry. For tourist visa entry you use form TM86 and visa exempt entry TM87.. Here is forms requured. https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/9.FOR-RETIREMENT-PURPOSES-50-YEARS-OLD-NON-O.pdf -
I beg to differ, if the OP is flying from DMK to KL. Where did he mention fly to KL from DMK He stated.... "Following that, I'll be travelling south and likely exiting Thailand on a ferry into Malaysia where I'm not confident they'll have the option to get a re-entry permit."

How would you be entering Thailand visa wise. Clearly you don't have current reentry permit? Do you plan to enter Thailand visa exempt?

Don't understand. You do not obtain a reentry permit when ENTERING Thailand. Ask Thai immigration when you enter No

Last thing I would be showing immigration on arrival entering visa exempt is copy of the items you mention. -
65K Monthly Method for Retirement Visa
DrJack54 replied to SportRider's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
Assuming your embassy does not provide "income letter" (UK,USA,AU) you would need to provide 12 month of 65k+ transfers. As noted in earlier posts, some immigration offices will be fine with the monthly transfers being from overseas and and not interested in funds from pension etc. An io from CW told me she wants to see some proof of pension. With that in mind I changed my super funds to "income stream". Meaning set amount every month. However I have decided to use agent moving forward -
You are misunderstanding the quote I was correcting.

It's about length of time between visits. Your OP seems to indicate stay 30 days visa exempt and bounce out for short period wash and repeat. Eventually you will be denied entry. Thailand has many visas available for longer stay such as METV The question of how many visa exempt is too many is posted on weekly basis. Boring
