Non Immigrant Visa


Recommended Posts

Can someone please clarify the type of Non immigrant visa ( 90 day, single )

required for someone who later wants to obtain a retirement visa.

This site states that an 'O' visa is for someone who has a Thai dependent/spouse.

What about someone who is currently single/divorced ?.

What paperwork is required for this 90 day, Single entry Non. Imm. Visa ?.

'Single/Divorced'

I mentioned this because information on this site (not the forum) states that an 'O' visa is a 'Dependent's visa'.

I was asking if this would be the same category for someone who does not

have local dependents, e.g. someone who is single or divorced.

I also notice that there is another category on this site described as 'O' 'Other',

strange that they should use the same terminology.

I am indeed over 50 and have adequate local funds and will probably go to Penang or Kota Barhu for the initial 90 day visa as I am currently on a 90 day tourist visa and understand that I am not likely to be issued a retirement visa on the basis of a tourist visa.

.

Will I need to take bank statement, medical form to get this visa

They use O for both classes of visa. Open a bank account in Thailand with a credit of 800,000 baht, and go to Immigration they can amend your tourist visa to save the trip out, and give you a one year extension. Just be careful, you talk of a 90 day tourist visa. It is only good for a 60 day stay, but is extendable for an additional 30 days. You need to get a letter from your bank evidencing your account. Banks in Thailand know what Immigration want in the letter.

Thanks for the info Dr.PP, I was unaware that I could go directly from

a 60+30 tourist visa to a retirement visa. I already have the required

local bank account and funds so will pay a visit to immigration in the next few days.
