I just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandon and all the others who give so much of their time to help people in this forum. I joined about a year ago having decided to make the move to Thailand and have closely followed the replies to the many questions from people on various topics. I found the advice and information invaluable. I applied for my non-O in Madrid 4 weeks ago, arrived in Thailand on Friday, went to Immigration this morning and opened a bank account this afternoon. Everything was straightforward but only because of the support offered on this forum. Thanks guys, keep up the good work! PS Any idea where I can get hold of 800, 000 baht? (Only kidding😅)

Good morning. I wonder if someone can give me a bit of advice. I’m a UK citizen divorced ,however I’m in a relationship with a Thai lady. She lives and works in the UK, which is where I met her four years ago .

I’m retired She still works and we both live together. she owns a house two hours drive north of Bangkok eventually she wants to go back to Thailand permanently with me to follow her. We have both discussed about getting married here in the UK, but I have now talked about getting married in Thailand.

The information I want is what kind of documentation do I require in order to get married in Thailand and where to obtain it if anyone out there that can offer me assistance and advice, I would be most grateful.

Hello everyone!

Just want to ask for some advice.

I will be applying for the DTV via soft power. But have been overthinking the accommodation part for some time. I own a condo in Thailand and here is the dilema. Should I put my own condo in the application? Is it possible that somehow it could make my application "weaker" lol. Or should I just book something for a month and not worry about it?

I would appreciate any advice if someone has applied with own condo. 😅

A visa agent told me that the class alone would cost 26,000 bhat, though attendance optional. So I would have to pay the school this amount every year for the five year DTV visa?

Thai Embassy in Warsaw Poland.

Has anyone received a response to their email or phone calls recently? I haven't received a response from them for over a week, and they're not answering their phones.

thanks for the feedback

If I understand the process for moving stamps to a new passport correctly (Non-O Over 50 Extension) at CW:

Enter Thailand with both passports, new passport gets stamped in.

At CW

* Need transfer stamp form and both passports

* Updated bank book and copy (bank book only. Not the full year report that takes a week from Bangkok Bank?)

* Copy of photo pages from each passport

* Copy of last arrival stamp (from the new passport) and last extension (from the old passport)

They move the stamp to the new passport.

And then, since I got my multiple re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi, I need to take both passports there to move the re-entry permit, which I can do on my next flight out.

Am I missing anything?
