On the 90 day reporting to immigration, this will be my first time to report , therefore my question is , do I just calculate out the 90 days from when I entered the country or does immigration notify you ? , thank you in advance for any feedback back .

Now that I have received my Non-OA visa, am I still required to purchase a return or onward ticket for entry into Thailand?

Based on previous comments, I'm wondering whether I still need to obtain an e-permit?

Thanks.

I renew my Non-O visa every year in July. So my next renewal is July 2026. I would prefer to have renewal in December - January each year, is it possible to change?

Hi everyone, so I have a quick question I’m coming in on my dtv visa for the first time. It got approved while I was on my visa exemption so I’m going back and coming back in on it. I wanted to ask though what do you show when you come in. I’m worried about the bank stuff I had enough when I applied but had to pay my security deposit for my rental and my sons Tution it will be built up again in a couple of months but I’m worried if they ask to see bank statements or not when you come in.

If you have a retirement visa and 800,000 baht in a Thai bank account and decide to leave Thailand permanently, can I easily transfer that 800,000 baht back to my bank account in Belgium? I've heard it's not easy. Does anyone have experience with this?

Advice/recommendations needed

I've been told I need to get a copy of my passport certified by my embassy, and then translated to Thai with a certification from the MFA. The translation isn't my concern, but has anyone gotten their passport certified by the British Embassy? It seems like British passports can be certified by local notary companies, but I'm a bit lost and on a time crunch.

Does anyone know the process? And does anyone have any recommendations in the Pattaya/Sattahip area for a notary service?

Regarding two bank accounts:

My bank separated my current and fixed deposit accounts into two accounts, making it appear as though my funds were held in two different banks.

When applying for DTV, I wrote a letter explaining that they were held in the same bank, but the consulate simply ignored it.

They didn't look at the total amount; they needed to be in the same account to meet their requirements. So, I transferred the money from my fixed deposit to my current account, and that was approved.

If you also have two accounts, I recommend combining your funds.
