KimoMax Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I just read on the Royal Thai Consulate Los Angeles website that a $200 application fee was required for a Retirement Visa. Is this true that the fees have increased from 1,900 THB to $200 US ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawhod Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 "$80 for a single-entry , $200 for a multiple-entry - No single-entry for Non-Immigrant O-A Visas"...quote from the Consulate site. You are looking at the price for a 'multi-entry Non-Imm.' O-A issued by the LA Thai Consulate...not the extension of stay 'retirement' issued by Immigration in Thailand, which costs 1.900 Baht.

Lite Beer Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Non Imm O-A Visa Single Entry = $80 Non Imm O-A Visa Multi Entry = $200 12 Month Extension of Stay from Thai Immigration = 1,900 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sorry to hijack this thread. But can someone tell me the latest requirements for renewing my retirement visa here. I think I have it covered but I know through experience that the goal posts move occasionally. This is what I have so far: Proof of pension from the British Consulate. Letter from my Thai bank Copies of the last 3 months of bank statements. (Bank letter and current bank balance tally) Letter from doctor Passport photo copies. 2 x passport size photos. Is there anything I am missing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You are using combined income and bank deposit to meet the 800k requirement? What kind of letter from doctor? If medical that is not required at most locations. You also need photo copy of departure card. Photos should be 4x6cm in size and taken within the last six months. They might require some proof of residence address. They will require 1,900 baht fee. You can fill out the TM.7 form in office or download and print on one A4 paper to have ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hi lopburi 3 Yes I am using the pension & bank deposit method. The letter from doctor is stating I'm in good health. The proof of address I had but didn't need last year. That's why I asked the question, as I know from my 90 day visits the requirements do change occasionally. What I have is what was required by Si Racha immigration last year. Do you know the website to download the form ? As this will save me some time once there on the day. Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Download tm7 form here: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/download/tm7.doc print double sided, not on two seperate sheets of paper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 As said the doctors certificate is not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks for the answers ... Regarding the doctors letter it was required last year at Si Raha immigration. I will let the forum know if it was needed this year. Mario 2008 Thanks for the download link for the form. One other bit of advice please ... Can't remember what I put last year ... The bit about reasons for extension ? I think I put to support my Thai wife .. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Just stating "retirement" will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 As mentioned, a retirement extension is B1900. To compare it to a multiple-entry Non-Immigrant O-A you need to add on a multiple-entry re-entry permit for B3800, making the total B5700, which compares more favorably to (though still a little cheaper than) the $200 Non-Immigrant O-A.

Langsuan Man Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I can never understand why we can't quote the first post I just read on the Royal Thai Consulate Los Angeles website that a $200 application fee was required for a Retirement Visa.Is this true that the fees have increased from 1,900 THB to $200 US ? Difference between obtaining a new O-A visa and extending permission to stay answered in other posts But don't forget that if you use the LA Consulate (or the Chicago Consulate) you will have to factor in the cost of having all your documents notarized since they are the two consulates that enforce the notary requirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
