Just cleared immigration at Nong Khai. The female IO busted my balls. Everything she told me right up to the second she went silent and stamped my passport said I wasn’t going to Thailand tonight.

She scans my passport and I guess she doesn’t see my DTV upon first glance and she gasped “mister you’ve been in Thailand a very long time!”

To which I responded, “I have a DTV.”

“Oh? What you do in Thailand?”

I told her, “Holiday”

She just laughed at me in what must’ve been disdain.

The. She proceeds to tell me that the policy says I cannot cross land border. Idk man. I’d advise everyone to fly or go through during the day.

Not here to fear monger, but she was honestly telling me I wasn’t going to be admitted right up until she stamped me in.

Interesting experience thus far, but I won’t be taking an international train again

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my situation

I’ve been staying in Thailand on a DTV visa while working remotely. My wife also got a DTV visa as my dependent.

Now I’ve received a full-time job offer in Bangkok, and the company will provide me a Non-B visa.

I’d like to ask

1. If I switch to a Non-B visa, can my wife continue staying in Thailand with her current DTV visa, which was applied as a dependent under mine? (Her DTV stamp doesn’t mention “dependent.”)

2. After 6 months, when she needs to do a border bounce to renew her stay, will there be any issue re-entering Thailand since my DTV will no longer exist?

3. Would it be safer to cancel her current DTV visa and apply for a Non-O dependent visa later (even though I’ll still be in my probation period under the new job)?

Thank you very much in advance for your advice and experiences!

Hey!

I’m applying for my DTV next week.

I live and work in Spain but will be applying from the London uk embassy.

My spanish bank can’t translate my statement to English.

Also when filling it in shall I put my Spanish address or my UK home address?

Any advice or help please? 🙏

Hello!

Thanks

I live with my partner in the UK and want to move to Thailand. Is there a way of getting a marriage visa without going to Bangkok. Can I do everything in Khon Kaen

Evening all.

A friend of mine has been married to a thai lady for 2 years now,when he comes to visit he's been coming on visa exempt entry.

He's applying for a Non O visa 90 days, he can prove the 65k a month income, as he still works he's only 50 years old. He's worried that the money coming into his bank account is wages not any kind of pension, would the uk thai embassy knock him back for a visa, as when he's here there's no money going into his account. As they would see from bank statement it's money from a employer.

Ref : Health Insurance

As a fit & heathy 55yr old, i will potentially be coming to thailand on a Non-0 or LTR Retirment Visa, my initial research suggests a good comprehensive health insurance policy can be as much as THB 10-20k pm. Is this correct?

Also can anyone recommend any good policies and/or broker, i'm looking for a comprehensive policy with no nasty exclusions, would prefer higher limits and the best coverage

i have not ruled out Thai Insurers, but would prefer the most extensive types of policy

thanks in advance

Am I currently able to enter thailand for a short visit without a visa with an EU passport? do i need to file any documents online prior to arrival?

I've been in Thailand since yesterday with a non-O visa valid for 90 days. I rented an apartment for one year; I have a lease. The apartment building owner filled out the TM30 form online and forwarded it to the immigration office in Pathum Thani. I've already been to the immigration office twice today, but each time I was told to have the TM30 form filled out and brought with me, even though it had already been forwarded online. I was able to easily open a bank account with Kasikornbank, since I have my visa, my lease, and a Thai phone number. Everything was arranged within an hour. The bank opened an account for me, an ATM card, and a banking app. I've already deposited 900,000 baht via Wise. It took less than two seconds for it to appear in my Thai account. I think the woman at the immigration office got nervous because I've already been there twice today, so I wanted to ask for advice here. My question now is: What exactly do I need to apply for a one-year extension? When should I do that? The day before my 90-day period expires? Should I skip the TM 30 form now since I already have a bank account, and just wait until the day I return to immigration? Thank you in advance for the positive responses.

I an from the UK . I may have a chance of work in UAE which will be 8 weeks on and 8 weeks off through the year which means I can go to Thailand on the 60 day visa . When it comes to Christmas I could be in Thailand just over 90 days . My question is can I apply away from my home country for a 6 month tourist visa for this time or is there a better option
