Rich G Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Could someone please give me advice? I’ve been on a retirement visa for two years and my renewal is coming in March, however, I’m two months late with my 800,000 B deposit this time. Does anyone know what the fine will be or will I have to leave? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ubonjoe Posted February 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2017 You extension of stay (not a visa) based upon retirement application will be denied for not having the 800k baht in the bank for 3 months on the date you apply. You will need to leave the country to get a new non-o visa and apply for a new extension. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he applies for his extension after getting a non-o visa the money will only need to be in the bank for 60 days. You mention Malaysia but you don't mention where. Penang will issue a non-o visa but the embassy in Kuala Lumpur will not issue one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for the 800k . If he had the income to get a income letter that would work. I assume he does not have the income since he is using the money in the bank option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzzi850m2 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I also only had the 800k in a Thai bank for just over one month. When I applied at the Pattaya immigration in Jomtien, they asked for 4000 baht and I got my extension, so much depends where you go/live. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koo Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 800G deposit? That's 800 giga baht = 800.000.000.000 baht. I guess 800k (=kilo) = 800.000 baht would be appropriate for the mentioned reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people have gotten a single entry non-o visa for being 50 or over at Penang and Vientiane. Many reports on this forum about getting them. Perhaps you were mistakenly trying to apply for a OA visa which can only be applied for in your home country. I haven't gotten a non-o visa in almost 9 years and it was based upon marriage.

Evilbaz Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Another common nomenclature stuff up - asking for an OA Visa when an O Visa based on retirement will do as a requirement for a one year Extension based on retirement, from within Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said try for not o visa no way making people go back to there country to do them because now you need a criminal check . you did it 9 years ago and you are saying you can get it at Vientiane, I tried 2 years ago with no success so I think I would no more about then you . what you read on here is not all ways right, like people like you that are not with the new visa rules and make comments .

PixelPac Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Go and tell them about your predicament at the immigration office you attend. And they may give you a two month visa extension to cover the two months needed to meet the 3 month requirement for the 800K to be in the bank. I was in a similar predicament with a 12 month marriage visa which is only 400K in the bank but they gave me the aforementioned two month extension and told me to come back and apply just before the visa ran out. I did and everything was fine and I was granted the 12mth visa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamini Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I have just realised that this sort of thing could happen to me. I am 86 and beginning to get rather forgetful. What would happen if I forgot to put the 800 K on my account.? I cannot travel or walk. So I would not be able to leave the country. Any ideas?

On 8th August 2016 my Non-Immigrant O multiple entry visa was issued, and at the time Andrew (Consul) said you can only get them from Sydney or Canberra now. I'll go and see him in June when I go back to Brisbane for a visit just to make sure. I was just going to keep getting the non O's, but if I can't I'll have to bite the bullet and get the retirement extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got confirmation that you cannot travel from a doctor immigration could do a extension for medical reasons long enough to have the money in the bank for 3 months.

Go to the USA embassy in Bangkok and pay 50 dollars to notarize a form about your retirement money and you are good and no need to have 800,000 in bank. Make appointment with embassy online.
