Moving on from Covid Extensions

[edd999]

I came into Thailand on a Visa Exempt and have been on Covid Extensions ever since.
Now is the time to move on, but what I need to know is, can a 90 day Non O Retirement Visa be obtained at the local immigration office.  
And if so what are the current requirements such as financial, insurance etc.  Any advice would appreciated.

It can be applied for.

Requirements to apply for the non-o visa is here. https://www.immigration.go.th/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/9-ผู้สูงอายุเพื่อใช้ชีวิตบั้นปลาย-อายุ-50-ปี-รหัสO.pdf

No insurance is required.

800k in Thai bank account on day of application.

Need to show funds came from o/s.

Thanks for your replies ... thats the information I needed.   I must get myself a Thai bank account fast and funds transferred from the UK bank.  I hope there will be another Covid extension allowed for 60 days from 25 March to give me the time.

Maybe a good idea to open up a WISE account on line too - Easy to transfer money from there into your Thai bank account & also good to show up as a FTT transfer proving that the money came from abroad.

Use an agent to open bank account. Good option..
