To obtain the non O you will require TM30 or lease etc. The immigration office will advise. If you are applying for non O retirement then you require 800k in Thai bank on day of application. You will require min 15 days remaining on your current permission of stay when you apply for non O Edited January 1 by DrJack54 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a visa exempt exempt entry you use a TM87 form visa application form instead of a TM86 change of visa status form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregBow 44 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Sorry for delayed response. The officer - very polite and efficient filled in the forms. I showed Passport copies. Bank statement Photos Also but not essential: Wife and marriage ticket House book Can use tm30 instead I think. Took about 40 minutes pick it up in on 16 Jan Easy and thanks for the inputs which I followed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin 7837 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Thanks, doing the same thing, and have done it 3 years ago. Talked to them today, and they said I could wait until a few days left of my visa exemption, but I know it is 15 days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
