Hi, previously I did this at Udon Immigration and then due to covid could not enter on my Non O and had to obtain a Non O-A which requires insurance for the extention.

I have since been back in the UK and my Bangkok Bank account has only about ฿100000 remaining.

I which to go back to Udon Immigration and convert my VE to a Non O and then extend for retirement purposes again.

I will transfer ฿800000 over into my Bangkok Bank account and was wondering the current rules are for applying for the Non O are at present.

I have used the search button but unfortunately I can not find up to date requirements.

Thanks.

Disregard the "visa on arrival" tag in 3rd link.

As usual the OP was meaning visa exempt.

Also I did a post in that thread with some links to useful threads.

It's a simple process.

 

Which immigration office?

Couple of rogue offices are currently not doing visa exempt to non O despite immigration having a TM87 for that very process.

I will be doing it at Udon Thani Immigration office.

 

It was previously simple to do ,I had read that now the ฿800000 has to be in the bank 2 months before you apply so was hoping for clarification on that.

 

Thanks.

To obtain non O retirement the money must be in bank on day of application.

That gives you a 90 day stamp.

In the last 30 days of that stamp with funds (800k) having been in bank for 2 months you apply for 12 months extension.

 

To apply for non O at UT you would require 15+ days on your current stamp.

If more time is required you can obtain 30 day extension.

That is incorrect at most immigration offices. The official rule is that the 800,000 baht must be in your account on the day you apply for the visa with proof that the money came from abroad. At most offices, they will waive the proof that the money came from abroad if the money has been continuously in your account for several months. A handful of offices have local rules, mainly designed to deter applications, and avoid them needing to do the work.
