Reader question: Question about Non immigrant O visa
Dear readers,
We, Dutch 67 years old and Dutch 49 years old, want to go to Hua Hin for 90 days. Now I read: you can get a non immigrant o you are 50 years old or married to a Thai. So my wife is not yet 50 years old.
She was born in Thailand but is now Dutch and does not have a valid Thai passport.
Will it be difficult to get that visa?
Do we have to show proof of our income or bank balance and in what form do we have to show this with the application?
Thanks in advance for an answer.
Best regards
Kurt
Kurd,
You better ask the Embassy itself because after all they will decide.
If they do not want to issue an “O” visa, go for a regular tourist visa.
With this you can stay for 60 days and you can easily extend it in Thailand by 30 days.
Then you also have your 90 days.
An additional advantage is that you do not have to prove anything financially when applying, so it is much simpler
Still, maybe you can do something with it.
You say that your wife was born in Thailand but no longer has a valid Thai passport.
Can I conclude from this that she, in addition to Dutch, also has Thai nationality, but that only her passport has expired, or has she also given up her Thai nationality? If she has given up Thai nationality, she must have applied for this herself, because you do not automatically lose it because you acquire another nationality.
My wife is also Belgian, but she still has Thai nationality.
So if she also has Thai nationality, she can possibly apply for a new Thai passport through the Thai Embassy.
e-Passport Application for Thai Nationals Living Abroad
required documents
(Applicants must apply in person at the Thai embassies/consulates-general abroad)
1.1 General Applicants
1.1.1 Applicant's previous Thai Passport or a certified copy
1.1.2 Thai Citizenship IDCard/House Registration which contains the 13-digit Personal Number

When you apply for a visa, you must enclose a copy of your ticket. So the dates for the return journey must be known. Then you cannot/may not apply for a 60-day visa and stay for 90 days.
Of course.
I've never had any comments about it before.
By the way, it is not because you land in Bangkok and the return journey after 90 days from Bangkok that you will also stay in Thailand for 90 days.
But if you want to rest assured, take a Double Entry and then you can make a visa run.
If you get an O visa, your wife will also get an O visa regardless of her age (just like my wife).
With the application - at the Thai embassy in The Hague - I showed an annual overview of my pension fund, which was sufficient in my case. The requirements for a visa O are listed on the site of the Thai consulate.

Moderator: Look at the visa file -https://www.thailandblog.nl/category/dossier/visum-thailand/
Just in addition:
You definitely misread it. Whether or not a Non-Immigrant Visa 'O' is granted is not limited to an age! However, you must both prove that you have sufficient funds (eg bank statements from the last 3 months).
The minimum age of 50 applies ONLY for a so-called 'retirement visa' = an extension of a Non-Immigrant Visa 'O' by 1 year. This extension can be applied for every year without leaving Thailand.
Another possibility for such a year extension is based on being married to a Thai national, also known as a 'Thai women visa' or 'marriage visa'. The Thai partner must then have a Thai ID card, plus a whole series of other documents, but your age or that of your wife does not play any role. This extension can also be applied for every year without leaving Thailand.
In other words: these 2 extension options are only important for people who want to stay here permanently, or almost permanently. That does not apply to you at all, because you only come on holiday for 90 days.
Incidentally, if it turns out that the 90 days of Non-Immigrant 'O' single entry, or the 60 days Tourist Visa single entry plus the one-off extension thereof of 30 days @ 1900 Baht (at Immigration) is not enough, then fly at the end with eg AirAsia to Kuala Lumpur, because then you will have 30 days under the 'Visa Exemption' upon arrival in Thailand.
See file 'Visa Thailand' (left on this page) by Ronny 'LatPhrao' Mergits. Everything is described in the appendix of the '16 questions'.
Thank you very much for your answers. We have now, as RonnyLatPhrao says, decided to apply for a new passport for my wife, so that she will never have to apply for a visa again.
