Where are they on the online application site. https://thaievisa.go.th/Home/

It doesn't, the site is controversial with it's information.

4. Non Immigrant O -visiting friends and family > read more >

Family of Thai national (immediate family includes spouse and children) …. no mention of friends.

 

But when you then go to the services page:

Visa applicants are required to read carefully the details and requirements of each type of Non-Immigrant visas.

Non-Immigrant Type O (single entry only)

 

  • For dependent child (age below 20 years): A copy of birth certificate, a copy each of employment letter, passport and visa of the parent who is going to work in Thailand, and a copy of registration of the company or organisation where the parent will work 
  • For accompanying spouse : A copy of marriage certificate, a copy each of employment letter, passport and visa of the  leading spouse, and a copy of registration of the company or organisation where the spouse will work
  • For accompanying a Thai spouse : A copy of marriage certificate, a copy of Thai passport/a copy of Thai ID of spouse, and (3 months bank statement showing monthly income of more than £1,500.)
  • For accompanying a Thai child : A copy of Thai birth certificate, a copy of the Thai child's passport/Thai ID, a copy of marriage certificate to a Thai spouse or divorce paper/child custody paper (in case of divorce), and (3 months bank statement showing monthly income of more than £1,500.)
  • For working at an NGO/charity/volunteer work : An official recommendation letter or employment letter from NGO or organisation which undertakes volunteer work in Thailand, registration document of NGO or volunteer organisation
  • For pensioner (aged 50 or over) : A copy of pension statement if the applicant is a pensioner, or a copy of 1-month bank statement showing your income from pension, or 3-month bank statement of at least £10,000 

 

Controversial information.

What about those 65 retired in receipt of the state Pension?

keep tightening.. a few more screws and no-one will qualify for any type of visa!

Tourist visa rules keep tightening, mostly due to a minority of individuals who keep trying to abuse every loophole and crack in the system to stay long-term for purposes other than tourism. A few bad

I not going to register on the site since I will never be applying for a visa on the site.

I think most things are shown on the homepage of the site.

Unless you create an account and get used to how it works with selections, it's not easy to understand. 
If for instance, you select a visa type, move on in the application then realise you have been selected the wrong visa because you entered the wrong reason to visit, you need to go in to the file system and delete the complete application or the system will default to the application sitting in the file system waiting for completion. It won't allow you to change the reason or get a different type of visa. For instance, an OA visa, is listed as 'Long Stay' not OA. There is a selection for Long stay less than 90 days. If you select that, you will only be issued with a single entry Non O, not a multiple.
Once your used to using the system, it's easy to apply and takes less than 10 minutes

Why should it be only single entry, in fact it is non B type visa.
Same for the RS Type, teaching in research facilities?

Non B visas and OA can be issued as multi entry. Along with some types of Diplomatic visas. Unless you have access to the online E visa, most of what can and cannot be applied for is speculation. You need too create an account an look.
No more multiple entry's though for marriage, having children etc

That's difficult once a country moves to E visa. The UK has consulates that can be used for some applications. France now has none as it closed the Lyon consulate this week. Now E visa applications only. Like it or not, E visa application is the future

No you wouldn't.
Have you read any French screaming about translating documents.

I don’t see any reports from any french yet. I read somewhere it must be in English and must be certified by the embassy.
How can BKK immigration deal with different languages to approve it

Same for tho online application site home pages and the ones you can go to by clicking on pictures.

Thanks, informative.

To answer a few members concerns, is there an option available to apply for the Non O SE based on retirement in receipt of a state pension.

For being 50 and I over I suspect only the O-A will be available by choice.

The Embassy only certifies the hard copy documents what you have uploaded electronically to Bangkok.The system parameters are 'Locked' by Thailand Immigration, not by the MFA.

Don't worry what I have done. You need to create an account and look what can or cannot be applied for. it's better than speculating

I cannot create an account because I am a German.
But I want to understand what the requirements for that visa are

The pictures only explain the types of visa. They have no link to applying for that type of visa. When you click 'Apply for visa' it will only take you to the start of visa application as I explained above. Your not applying for the visa in the picture.

The over 50 option and showing a pension OR £10,000 in a bank account for 3 months will be issued a single entry Non O

You can create an account. Everybody not on the list of prohibited country's applying in China, France or the UK, MUST apply by E visa. If you was in the UK as a German citizen and wanting a visa for Thailand, that is how you now apply

If I am not resident in the UK...sorry, I want to know before I apply what requirements are there. You mentioned that it would be difficult to change in case of a wrong visa application

You get them here here by applying at a immigration office.

First you get a one year extension by showing 800k baht in a Thai bank for 2 months or proof of 65k baht income or a combination of the 2 totaling 800k baht.

Then you would apply for a re-entry permit to keep the extension valid if you want to travel. A single is 1000 baht and a multiple is 3800 baht.

Sorry to re-raise an old part of the thread, but I would appreciate some advice.

For the last 15 years I have been getting non-O multi by married to Thai. Obtained first from Hull, then London. This has been ideal for me as I work outside Thaialnd on contracts and need to travel at short notice for various periods.  I spend more than half the year outside Thailand.

I would happily convert to a 1 year extension and re-entry permit, but If I understand the situation correctly, I am not able to stay in Thailand for the period of the application process. Could Joe please confirm:  How long I have to remain in Thailand waiting for the 1 year extension approval?  I understand I cannot leave whilst the application is in process?  At the next renewal one year later, how flexible is thetime period, an how long would I have to remain in Thailand for the renewal process?  Thanks for help.

Jangot.

If true, that's good news for the over 50's who want to retire early to Thailand.

Since 2015, they've only had the choice of entering VE, or on a TV, then converting, or applying for the Non Imm O-A.

The option of applying for a ME Non O for being over 65 yrs old in receipt of a state pension is gone. It has been replaced with the over 50 option BUT only single entry
