Now that anyone can freely marry anyone regardless of gender, does this mean a foreigner can apply for an extension of stay via marriage to a Thai citizen of the same gender? And qualify for the lower amount to park in a Thai bank when getting a retirement extension? Is all the same paperwork required, e.g. a translated Affirmation of Marital Status / affidavit of freedom to marry?

Hello, any stories of successful (or even unsuccessful) applications for DTV in Manila? I'm wondering if the embassy there is a quick turnaround like Jakarta or strict like Taiwan seems to be? I've searched the group and not much posts.

I can’t find much information about the renewal process of the DTV Visa.

From what I understand, you don’t have to leave Thailand after your first 180days (you can renew it at the immigration office)

But do we need to go out the country every 180 days after the 1st renewal?

Thank you

Is it easy to rent a condo with DTV Visa for a few months?

For example periods of 2-3 months since I plan to stay 6 months max to avoid being a tax resident and I am thinking of splitting those 6 months during different periods of the year.

Are the prices almost as good as long term rental?

Hi all I am relocating to Thailand in march 2025. Has anyone got any recommendations of agents who can clear goods at customs in Bangkok port also transport 3 pallets to Hua Hin please?

Hello,

My husband and I are traveling in from March 6th-16th. I just want to triple check on what we need coming in.

Also, we will be staying in Rawai at some point. I was hoping to find any private chef recommendations for my husband and I. We would love to renew our vows as well so any recommendations would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, What happens if my non imm O visa trough e-visa will be approved while i’m in Thailand with visa exemption?

It will be activated when i’ll enter the next time or? If it is the case the 90 days will start from the approval date or from the date that i’ll re enter the following time?

Does anyone here actually know the internal process of the DTV application?

Once received by the embassy, does that particular embassy review all the documents and then chase everything up.

And then does that embassy then give final approval? Or does it get sent to Bangkok head office for approval?

Hi, I’m a French citizen and in December 2024 I married with my Thai wife. For the moment I only have a multiple touriste visa but in June I would like to change my visa for a non-o visa. Can I open a Thai bank account with my non-o visa and which documents should I have. Thanks a lot and have a great day. 🙂
