MamaSan Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I will be out of Thailand for a few months during which time my Retirement Visa will expire. Upon my return, I can get a 30 day VOA. Anyone know if that's enough time to apply for a new Non Imm? Options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario2008 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You won't get a VOA, you will get a visa exempt entry and for that the airline might require you to show proof of onward travel within 30 days of arrival before allowing you onboard the airplane. Best is to just apply for a non-O visa while abroad. But yes, if you enter on a visa exempt entry you can convert to a non-immigrant visa and extension of stay based on retirement. (But might need to do that in BKK, depending on your local immigration office). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 if you have an extension of stay based on retirement you might be able to get a new one year extension before you leave Thailand, depending on how much time until expiry remains on your present extension, ask your immigration office...I'd rather that than starting the extension process again with a new non - 'O' and etc...

mackes Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The application instruction say 800 000 Baht in bank for three months, or equal yearly income or a combination of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That is not the exact requirement for one year extensions of stay - it is 800k in bank account located in Thailand for 3 months (2 months first application) or 65k monthly income or a combination to meet 800k per year.

mackes Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Might be a good idea with a link to the Instructions. you find retirement criteria under paragraph 2.22 From Thai immigrations official homepage (ORDER OF THE ROYAL THAI POLICE No. 777/2551) http://www.immigrati...777-2551_en.pdf A part to note is that the "marriage" rules with an income at 40 000 or an bank account at 400 000 under paragraph 2.18 does not specify that a combination of those are allowed.

lopburi3 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 This thread is about retirement not marriage and the figure 800k/65k or combonation is only for retirement. Thai wife extension of stay does not allow a combination and is either 400k/40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
