Getting yearly non B extension and there have been delays. the agent doing mine says that there was a shakeup in leadership or something at immigration, everyone is experiencing delays. Any truth to this?

Hey guys I’ve started the only application on the official Thai E-Visa for the DTV freelance visa. It’s asking for milk “INTENDED DATE OF ARRIVAL” and “MY INTENDED DATE OF DEPARTURE” issue with attended date of arrival is I’m applying from Spain n from the search ppl have had a 1 approval reply after their application and others it’s taken up to 5”6 weeks,

So I don’t know what to say re my date of arrival and Flight number ……

Secondly “INTENDED DATE OF DEPARTURE” the visa is 5 years do I say 5 years for my departure date? 🙏 what did you all do for this part?

After reading about 18 dozen webpages, I am surprisingly confused about the proper Thai immigration procedure for changing one's address. I'm sure I'm the first.

I'm moving from one place to another in Chiang Mai city. The majority of websites suggest I need:

TM28

TM30

Passport photocopies

Lease photocopies

However other people say the TM28 is no longer needed, others say you do it all online, etc.

Anyone had recent experience?

I do have a question about the 2/3 month seasoning before and the 3 month after on 800000 baht for a retirement extension. Is the date this measured on the date you apply/receive the extension or is it the start/end date of the extension?

Im landing in BKK on the 1-12-25, I want to stay a minimum of 90 days in TH, I’m 71 y/o I’ll have travel/health insurance,. I’ve got 3 options,1- enter visa exempt and extend it by 30 days to give me 90 days,.2-enter with a TR visa from uk giving me the same options,.3-entering with an o retirement visa giving me 90 days, what would you recommend ?. My last visit to TH was for 222 days in 2022/2023, came in on a TR visa from uk and extended and border bounced, I’m concerned this could be an issue if I arrive on 1-12-25 and imo pick up on it.

Hi. I'm from Poland and want to apply through the embassy in Warsaw. I have a question: can I use a bank statement confirming my 500,000 TBH account balance instead of a statement? I have the money in term deposits, and they don't appear on my statement.

Regarding the travel info on the dtv app. Do you put 175-180 days out for departure?
