Just noticed that someone posted that you can only do the dtv on a smart phone is this true Tia

Anybody with DTV visa doing multiple entries to Thailand? E.g. stay for one month in TH, fly somewhere else for a week or two, go back to TH for a month, and repeat?

It should be perfectly okay with DTV visa type, but curious if immigration sees it the same way?

I'm travelling to Thailand on an o visa to apply for spouse 1 year ( married IN Thailand ) I understand I need to put 400000 bhat into a thai bank account does that money have to come from England or can I source it in thailand?

What health insurance do i look for

With the retirement visa

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of applying for a non-immigrant O/A e-visa through the Thai Consulate in the UAE and have a couple of questions. I wrote to them but they only answered one and ignored the other two. I'm hoping you can help. The first is about our air tickets. The form asks for arrival and departure dates, so do we need to buy return tickets and get a refund once the retirement visa is issued in Bangkok? The form also requires a Thai phone number. I thought I could select a UAE one, but that option is not there. Is there an e-sim we can buy from outside Thailand that would be acceptable? I've found some, but without an ID card, I can only buy a tourist SIM and am not sure it would be acceptable.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello all. Could anyone please confirm what the background colour of the photo for a visa extension needs to be? Can it be blue/light blue?

Ho all. On a 90 day, Non-O, single entry obtained in the UK.

If i get a re-entry permit and leave and re-enter before the 90 days is up, will I get an additional 90 days or only up until when the original 90 days was due to end? In/out via plane. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello I have a quick question.

I have the Non-B visa, I am planning on changing jobs in July. I have been told 2 options:

1, I can cancel my visa July 1st and the effective date is the 18th.

2, I can cancel on the 11th of July and its effective on the 1st of August.

My new job has told me if I want the Non-B I need to go to laos or another country and apply for it. I looked online and it appears to be a 10-15 day process with the E visa system. They no longer do in person visa's as of the 1st of this year.

Can I apply for this while in Thailand?

I am married to a Thai citizen. Could I just switch to the Non-O marriage visa without leaving the country, or would I still need to leave Thailand to apply? What does this process look like? Do I need to apply for the Non-O visa the same day as I go to cancel my non-B?

Follow up questions:

If I do need to leave Thailand to do the visa, is a land board crossing okay? About 2 years ago I tried to do a land boarder crossing into Laos near Chiang Rai and I was told I wasn't going to be allowed to leave if I don't get a reentry permit on my visa; which completed defeats the point of trying to do a visa run.

Visa Conundrum

Hi guys. I am having some difficulty obtaining current information. Visas and their procedures have changed and I find myself lost. My situation.

I am presently employed at a school in Roi Et. I will leave this school at the end of June and begin working at a school in Bangkok. Here is the information my new school has given me. I am unable to convince the new school of changes in their thinking.

1) I must be present in Roi Et to cancel my visa and work permit on June 30. It is impossible to quickly be in Bangkok on the same day to transfer my Non-B from one school to another (I have checked flights). The earliest I could arrive at Bangkok Immigration is 01 July. However, according to the new school, this would put me on a 1 day overstay. Bangkok immigration will refuse the transfer process if I am in an overstay situation. I can't use the 7 day visa extension option as Bangkok immigration will not process the visa transfer if my on on this 7 day extension. Is there a way around this problem?

2) I am investigating a Non-O marriage visa as I have been married with a Thai citizen for over 5 years. I do not have 400,000 Baht in the bank but my Thai salary is more than double the required 40,000 Baht. However I am finding mixed information about using my Thai salary. Some sources say that the 40,000 Baht must come from abroad. Some sources say Thai salary is OK, but I will need a letter from my embassy to verify my income. My embassy (U.S.A.) will not provide such a letter. Some sources say that isn't important and that 12 months of salary slips is sufficient (this I do have). The other issue is timing. I have two months before I will need everything processed. Additionally I have a work permit. Most websites indicate that I would need to cancel my current work permit when transferring from a non-B to a non-O. Does anyone have any suggestions about this option or any information that can clarify some of the questions I have posed?

I think this leaves two further options.

3) Get a Thai tourist visa from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. I am having trouble finding updated information on this. Which is the best country (nearby) to do this? How does the e-visa system work? It used to be simple, but things seem much more complicated these days. If I need to do a tourist visa I would like to do it in the cheapest and most time-efficient manner. Any suggestions?

4) Get a Thai non-B from a Thai Embassy/Consulate in a neighboring country. My new employer is willing to provide the necessary documents for this. Again, if I go this route I would be looking for the most economical and efficient process. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for any assistance and insight. Sorry for the long post.
