Hi, I am currently on retirement visa applied in my home country. It is expiring on 1 December 2025. Anyone has any idea how early can I apply for renewal of the 1 year visa? I am from Singapore, so retirement visa's duration is only for 1 year. I tried calling Thai Embassy in Singapore but no one picked up the phone.
So much misinformation.
I’m getting my LTR and was wondering if I could pay the 50k fee by QR code, as many said there’s a 5k limit.
Well, I just paid without any problems.
Ofc I had to scan my face, but that’s just a security measure that I love.

Hi all, I tried using Sinbi Muay Thai gym in Rawai for the soft power visa however they advised that they stopped providing supporting documentation for the soft power visa.
Can anybody recommend a high quality Muay Thai gym in Phuket that is offering the supporting documentation for the soft power DTV visa please?

Hi guys, hopefully just a quick question. Changing from retirement visa to marriage. Money seasoned etc got all docs. I went to Jomtien Immigration today to ask for requirements info. He also gave me form.for extension of stay to complete. I assume this is to tide me over in the interim period between retirement visa stopping and marriage visa is granted!! Am I correct. Thanks
hello, so I applied for the DTV seven days ago in Hanoi and havent heard back. I have a flight for tomorrow to Korea. Do I have to remain in Vietnam while my visa is processing or can I leave. Also how would i get the visa sticker on my passport?
Good day folks. I have just had a call from my neighbour who is in a bit of a panic. He has lived here in Thailand for 20+ years on a retirement extension. He has been married to a Thai lady all this time but chose the retirement extension option over the married option to minimise paperwork.
Last month he went back to the UK for some medical tests and this procedure will run to the end of October, then he will return to Thailand.
Unfortunately he has made the schoolboy error of not getting a re-entry permit. The day he went to get it at immigration here in Hua Hin the place was closed for a holiday. It totally slipped his mind on departure at Suvarnabhumi so he now finds himself visa-less so to speak.
My question is ...... what does he need from the Thai Embassy in London so that he can kick-start the whole extension process when he gets back here at the end of October?
He still has his 800k in the bank here untouched for many years. He has no medical insurance in Thailand if that affects his options. I also suspect he will change to the married extension this time.
Thank you for your time.
