rutteketuut Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I am currently on a retirement extension of stay 1 year with 800000 THB in Thai bank. I need to go to my home country and apply for a new passport because it will expire in a few months. Then I will apply for a e-visa non immigrant O 3 months single entry visa. I need financial proof in my case of 800000 baht. Can I use this amount from Thai bank or does it have to be the equivalent of this amount in Euro from a Belgian bank? I am from Belgium. Thanks.

Upnotover Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I recently got a single non-O retirement from the UK. 800,000 in a Thai bank was fine for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 OP, I'm missing something. Why return to Belgium just to renew a passport. I just obtained my new Australian pp. The whole process done by mail. From posting the application to receiving new passport took 20 days. Even if you just happened to be going to Belgium and you obtained a new pp why would you need a non O retirement. Get a reentry permit in old pp when leaving then for return travel with both passports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand, however if your return date is prior to expiry of your current extension you wouldn't need obtain a non O . Be aware that you could return visa exempt and obtain your Non O at your immigration office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folk buy cheap throw away or use "onwardticket.com " For this reason some prefer to obtain the Non O prior to entering Thailand. So clearly your return date is past your current extension expiry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that when you upload your financial proof a screen shot will not be accepted. I had to download a statement from my UK Bank for this. I recently had my 90 day single entry non O issued. The financial proof can be in an account in your home country or in a Thai bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at your expiry dates of passport and extension. It may work out that you can work around them. You can renew your extension 30 - 45 days early at most offices. It may work out for you to renew your passport early by post and then renew your extension after you get the new passport. All you then need is a re entry permit to protect your extension date. Surely this will be a better way to proceed rather than losing your extension and starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
