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. So as I plan to travel extensively around Thailand, then that's not a problem I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I do not fully comprehend those sections but I hardly think immigration expect one to be basically stuck in one place for the duration of their permission to stay.

Ebumbu Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 If you are stuck, and are American, I suggest you got an income affidavit from US Embassy. All it requires is a sworn statement. And, print out your bank book showing 800k baht. You'll be just fine. You have a lot of money in the bank and an affidavit. You'll bee green lighted. As far as I know, the income method does not require that you deposit the income in a Thai bank every month. Don't use the "money in bank method." If you do, there is no checking of that beyond affidavit and a possible quick look at your bankbook (showing 800k baht). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US embassy consular do not request any additional income statement to notarize the affidavit of income. The applicant makes the sworn statement of income, and the consular official notarizes the document. You pay $50 USD and you are on your way. Other country's consular official may require additional documents such as a pension statement, pay stub, bank statement, etc before notarizing the document; that is solely up to the consular. The consular official's job is to verify your signature, not the information contained in the affidavit/document. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colabamumbai Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Show a deposit of the equivalent of 65,000 Baht going into a foreign bank account, a printout of that and an income affidavit and embassy letter will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess 800k (=kilo) = 800.000 baht would be appropriate for the mentioned reason. G's or Grand was an old colloquial term meaning 1000. It was replaced with K, from kilo, when the world (mostly) adopted the metric system. If you watch old gangster movies from the USA you will see it used a lot.

Once you have the retirement one you have it for two years , but after year one you have to go thai immigration and get a multi-entry again for the next year. mine just run out am not getting a retirement one again not need it now can just fly in and out with normal tourist Visa . Why don't you think outside the box a little.Come in on visa on arrival or the 2 month visa and upgrade from there.No ripoff police check to pay for.Guess the crims have worked that out already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was changed some 3 years ago as you all ready no . to stop the criminals getting in to thailand on the non-o and then change it to an extension of stay . with out police checks and medicals in their own country . i am talking about Single men retiring in thailand. not married.

watcharacters Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If it hasn't already been said, the OP should hop to the nearest US consulate and just cross his fingers when he's asked to swear to the truthfulness of his information on the income letter he'll receive. It is a felony to be untruthful on the form. Short of that and especially leaving the country and etc, while not my M.O. I would think he'd consider using a "fixer" for anywhere from less that 10K to over 35K. Good luck to the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History of its origin is a bit hazy. Could have referred to the now defunct $1,000 bill that had Grant on it. It is a bit unusual to use G when referring to baht, where 10K baht would be more common and certainly more universally used 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 actually I correct myself. The G may have been meant for Grover Cleveland whose face was on the bill, not Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgeezer Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 My opinion is that this is not the place to ask. Immigration offices have the authority to give an extension if they choose to do so. It will probably cost some money, as was the case for guzzi850m2 (4000Bt. Post no. 12) the problem would seem to be, how do you ask for it.

Agusts Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I read somewhere that not any income is accepted for this OA visa, it must be a pension payment of sort (kind of has perpetuality and stability), is that true... !? It must have been UK citizen related I think, so UK embassy notorizes your income saying what it is and where it comes from, but is it okay if it is monthly payslips (say for remote consultancy work) and not a pension payment based on government/company or private pension money into your account...!?

I plan to come in with visa waiver, then get this letter from UK embassy, then go to Phuket immigration and apply for 90 days non-O visa, and after that try the one year retirement O-A extension, from what I read that is doable.... Was planing to do it with 800k but it would be far better if I could use my monthly payslips that meets and exceeds the monthly financial requirement....

You can apply for the 90 days stay the non O visa will provide to be extended. . The extension of stay is NOT a visa and if you wish to travel during the life of the extension you will need a re-entry permit or the extension will be invalidated. I hope these pay slips you refer to originate outside Thailand because an extension of stay based on retirement forbids working in Thailand Edited July 9, 2017 by perthperson spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
