I am pretty sure copies of your overseas bank account can used in Kap Chong Immi. Used mine for a Retirement Visa during the Covid border closings for 2 years.
Changed rules again
- Thread starter Cent
- Start date
I have the same amount each month from Social Security and my work pension deposited in my US account savings. Can use online banking to switch what I need from savings to checking when needed. Can show enough in bank each month for either Retirement or Marriage.
I do not bring my income into Thailand and Thai bank. Stays in the US bank and I have a limit set to be able to take what I usually need for bills and spending money using my ATM to withdraw. So I have USD sitting in my account that can gain when the baht goes down or dollar rises.

Again, confusion of wording........VISA at Savannakhet ie out of the country EXTENSION of stay at Kap Choeng or any other Immigration office......rules can then vary from office to office and Gotlost is probably more aware of KC than anybody.
Covid time was obviously an exception to normal rules.

They retired me off last month (not unduly bothered about it) so I went from a 'B' visa extension, to a non 'O' due to retirement.

Nice one.
Go steady, retirement takes some easing into.............even having lived in Thailand for a long time.

Now 15:30. Possibly a drumroll is required for the bass player to reply.
(Then again, internet or wifi access is essential.)
Good luck Cent.

Given life expectancy (not guaranteed) I think age 55 is probably the latest age one should consider applying for PR

I officially retired at 51 but I carried on doing odd jobs (nothing longer than a month at a time) for the next 10 years. I actually looked forward to those in-between jobs and missed them when they dried up (or I dried up).
I'm over it now.

Latest post from ASEAN NOW:-
Guys, the latest report from Savannakhet:
I submitted the documentation for non-immigrant O visa based on marriage today at 9:15am. I also provided my child's birth certificate and copy of tabian ban as well as KR2 paper and it was taken by the immigration officer.
When I said I would like to apply for one year non-immigrant O visa, she immediately said I needed financial requirements proved. She accepted the copies of my bank book and also had a detailed look at my original bank book.
That was all. The money wasn't seasoned but was transfered to my bank account yesterday.
I think I should receive my visa tomorrow and I not, I will inform you here.

OK, single entry marriage visa 90 days. Can extend 60 more I believe. Just got back now from Laos.
Maybe Surin Immi as well?
If I had known last week I would have gathered my bank info from the states past year's deposits. Didn't even think of it. Guy/mod from TV said this just started a 'few' weeks ago and they (TV) had heard from a couple/three people on it but did not post the info as they wanted more info. Said they had heard nothing about it previously, and said they heard nothing from their government sources as well on the change.

Once per entry, I imagine you could also first obtain a 30 day extension.
90 +30+60 =180 days for 5800 baht. Perhaps the beautiful new night market along the Mekong will be more busy not less.
Old Town Savanakhet is very nice, visiting twice a year is not an unbearable burden especially as you are saving two border runs.
