New visa fees

Featured Replies

I am a little confused regarding the new visa fees. I am a Brit currently living in the US. I retire next year and planning to retire to Thailand.

Are the new visa fees (ie:191000baht) payable every year on renewal or is this a one time fee?

Please note that you must first have 3 years extensions (fee 1,900 Baht/year) before you can apply for residency (on time fee 191,000 Baht).

My friend married to Thai lady assure me he has been told by Pattaya immigration that his money in bank must be 400,000 b up from the 200,000 b he now has. his visa is due renewal in september.

No grandfather rights ?

I was told 2 weeks ago by BKK Immigration the bank requirements and costs for extension RENEWALS will be the same as your previous year.

Only NEW applicants will be affected by the increase.

My sincere thanks to all who replied to my query. You have clarified the point in question for me. :o
I too have been told at immigration in Bkk that there is a grandfather clause in this new visa scheme. I am still not 100% sold this is true but wife back next week from US and she has an uncle there that's been 100% on when sober so she will check. I will advise.
