Non O visa in Hong Kong

[bigbadthaijohn]

Hi all, 

 

Has anyone gotten a non O visa based on either marriage (asking for me) or retirement (asking for a friend) in Hong Kong recently? What are the required documents? 

 

I looked on the website, but could only find info about non B and non OA visas.

It appears there is a problem with their website.

Normally when you select your country it takes you to page with the info about other visas.

It appears to only be working for a few countries that are restricted as to what can be applied for.

I suggest you contact them about getting the mentioned visas.

A single entry non-o visa based upon marriage should not be a problem but for retirement I would say not possible there.

Had a friend try to get a non b in HK, they turned him away and gave him a setv instead after kicking up a stink, this was 2 days ago, staff at HK advised the website has incorrect info on it, apparently they are really busy and are only issuing visas for hk residents currently

Thanks both. I will try contacting them. 

Since HK Express flies direct from Chiang Rai for a good price, it's an attractive option.

i was in HK to see some friends and went to the consulate to ask about a non O based on retirement.  they don't offer that one.

Update: I can confirm that you can apply for a single entry Non O marriage visa, as I have just done so. Pick up tomorrow morning. Relatively painless. 

 

However, I can also confirm that they will only process Non O retirement visas for HK residents (I asked for a friend). 

 

For marriage visa, you need: 

- copy of passport

- copy of HK entry slip

- copy of marriage certificate 

- copy of spouse's ID card

 

They didn't specifically ask, but I also submitted (and they kept):

- copy of spouse's tabien bahn

- Kor Ror 2

 

Fee: HK$600 (equivalent to about 2,200 THB) 

 

Showed up about 10:30 and in and out in about 20 min.

I suppose they would accept to issue a Non O visa based on foreigner being parent of a Thai child as well, as the requirements are pretty similar.

 

When you applied for your Non O marriage visa, did they require any financial proofs/bank statements or anything alike? (I neither have 400k nor 800k readily available).

as i understood it, they offer the non O-A long stay visa for HK residents only.  they do not offer the 90 day non O based on retirement for anyone, HK resident or non HK resident. 

 

edit:  my friend, an HK resident, came to thailand last year for 70 days.  he asked me what was his best visa option.  too long a stay for visa exempt plus extension, SETV would be okay but he'd have to get an extension at CW in BKK, the 90 day non imm O was perfect as he was over 50 and has the required money in the bank.  they told him SETV, not possible to get the 90 day non imm O.
