Thailand Visa Question No. 001/25: Extending Non-O Stay and Departing on Visa Exemption
How many days can you extend a non-immigrant O at immigration? Why doesn't KLM let passengers board to Thailand without a visa now that you can get 60 days on a visa exemption and a visa is therefore no longer necessary?
Thailand Visa Question No. 229/24: What about the 800.000 Baht if you are not in Thailand?
As a Non-O visa holder, I always keep 800.000 baht in my Thai bank account, even though this amount may be reduced to 400.000 baht after a while. But what happens if I temporarily leave Thailand? Does this requirement of 800.000 baht also apply when I am not in the country, or can the amount be lower until my return? Who has experience with this?

I am Alain, a 65 year old Belgian, and I want to move to Thailand to marry my girlfriend. I have a residence permit for two months and am trying to arrange a NON-O visa.

I had applied for an O retirement visa at the Thai Embassy in the Netherlands. This was partly due to advice from Ronny, for which I am grateful. This application took 10 days, is this always the case?

I am in the process of applying for my Non O-immigrant retirement visa from the Netherlands. Now I come to the question about a Thai bank account: when do you have to apply for this? I assume that I cannot open a Thai bank account from the Netherlands. 800.000 baht is no problem.

TB Immigration Infobrief No. 052/24: Immigration Samut Prakan – Convert Tourist Stay to Non-immigrant – Legalized Visa Support Letter
On October 18, 2024, I went to immigration in Samut Prakan to have my tourist visa changed to a Non-Immigrant O visa (double entry). I had a visa support letter that was issued on October 11, 2024. Unfortunately, this was not enough. I had to have the letter legalized at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Thailand Visa Question No. 180/24: Extending a stay period obtained with a Non-immigrant O
I have a question for Ronnie, following a similar question on the blog about the Non immigrant O visa (I submitted the question yesterday for the website). I am going to Thailand from the end of October for 149 days. Now when applying for a new visa on thaievisa.go.th (via 'apply for a new visa' ) the options have changed compared to last year.
Thailand Visa Question No. 177/24: Is only a Non-immigrant O Single entry available and renewal of driving license
In the past I have applied for a Non-immigrant O visa twice, I only needed this for my driving licenses and a bank account in Thailand. We are not staying in Thailand for more than 60 days. Now we are going back to our house in Thailand for Christmas and I have to renew my driving licenses so I will need a Cert of Residence again, so I will need the 90 day visa again.
I am going to Thailand and we are leaving on November 11th and coming back on March 11th, so a total of 113 days. So I would like to ask Ronny with a 90 day visa. Can I extend this by means of a 30 day visa exemption? This seems more attractive to me than a border run.
I will be leaving Schiphol on December 10, 2024 to Bangkok to stay with my wife in Kanchanaburi. My stay will last until April 5, 2025 (116 days). I have always had a Non-Immigrant O visa for pensioners (we got married in the Netherlands in 2013 and have registered marriage documents).
We, my husband and I are going on holiday to Thailand for 83 days (overwintering) and this has already been booked. I hope that in retrospect we were not naive about a visa application. We are both 65+ and cannot decide what kind of visa we should apply for. I have searched your site and read so much and it is becoming more and more confusing.
Thailand Visa question No. 150/24: Can the combination of Non-immigrant O and Visa exemption?
We are going to Thailand for ±5 months. We now have an O multiple visa and it is valid until October 10, 10. If we arrive in Thailand before October 2024, 10, I think we will still get 10 days and can we then make a border run after 2024 days to obtain another 90 days and possibly extend it by 89 days at immigration?
Thailand Visa question No. 147/24: Non-immigrant O Retired – Extension of period of stay
I have a question about a Non-immigrant O Retirement visa. I want to go to Thailand for 5 months (151 days). Is it true that you can extend a Non-immigrant O Retirement visa multiple times for 30 days? So in my case I extend it by 2 x 30 days to reach the necessary 151 days. Or do you have to leave the country after the first 1 days? Or is there perhaps another visa that you can recommend to me to stay in Thailand for a longer period of time.
Thailand Visa question No. 143/24: Can I extend my Non-immigrant O Thai Marriage visa for 30 days?
The visa exemption period has now been extended to 60 days. I did have our marriage registered in the Netherlands at the local “Ampur”, but the question is whether it is all still registered! If all this is still registered, I can obtain an extension of the period of stay on the basis of a “Visa exemption” of 60 days. If not, then 30 days. I'm a few days short.
