ezrider62 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 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. Like this I have never been asked to provide any proof of money or income. Only asked a question(is everything true) to a notary service and sign a piece of paper, then out the door till next year. I don't think for a minute you will have any problems whatsoever.

I wonder how many US expats would have to leave or look for alternatives if they actually had to tell the truth and prove their income declaration with evidence lol anyway up to them they can get away with it and I'm not complaining at all, as long you can then happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first trip to bangkok embassy I had paper everywhere proving this and that and found out I needed nothing except an appointment for nortary services and my current passport/visa. I think it's a nutty system and easy to fool, but I don't make the rules and it still does cost money, so maybe that's all they really want not the truth.

pbonline Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 You have to start all over again with new visa but then it's enough if you had the money for 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to leave the country to get a new non-o visa and apply for a new extension. Is krabi an ok io to apply for an extension of stay of my non O based on retirement?

You would have to show some proof of where you are staying to get the extension. A short term rental agreement would be accepted. After getting the extension you would have to do your 90 day reports to the office where you got the extension unless your formally changed your address at a different office. You can do your reports by mail or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You as a Farang can call it what you like - won't impress the Thais. Retirement Extensions is even painted on the window of the Phuket Immi office. Being "over 50" is only one of many requirements.

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. You can get a 60 days extension for being married to a Thai lady. That is why they did it in your case.

That's what the Thais call an Extension you get after 2 years on a Retirement OA Visa. They didn't paint "Extension for over 50" or "Extension for Long stay Aliens" on the Immi Office window. But of course "they're wrong" - get over your Falang view on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgendk Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Surly calling it "OA" is the right terminology. You have to be over 50 years og age, but you do not have to be retirerede. It is possible to have your income from your home country, without retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, as I intended traveling around Thailand, not always staying in one place forever,so doing the 90day reports by mail will allow this then? Pity the reports cannot be done online. Thanks again.
