ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

HCMC and Hanoi Thai consulates closed until Feb 3rd

With the Viet New Year holiday coming up, the consulates will be closed starting Saturday and remaining closed until Monday Feb 3rd

It is doubtful any online eVisas will be processed by the consulates during that time.

So if you're going to use either consulate in Vietnam DO NOT GO next week :P

Wait until they re-open (or plan on camping out in Vietnam for a good while) ;)

Hello everyone! Next Saturday I have a flight to Laos at 8:05 in the morning.

I wanted to get the multiple re-entry visa. I was thinking of going to the airport 2 hours earlier to get the visa! Does anyone if the office is open at the airport at 6 in the morning?

Thank you!!

Dear friends,

Do you know that is there any VIP service for tourism passport stamp at the Thailand-Lao borders?

I am about to do my 90 day report but this time I’ve moved house. I have the immigration paper on my phone from landlady but do I have to take photos by my new house door and number or is that only at renewal ? My move is only to next street so same town and district

Happy new year y’all. Need some educated input. This is regarding the looming deadline for submitting everything for my first-ever Visa 1-year Extension of Stay. My 800,000 seasoning period ends either Fri Feb 28 (will be 60th day) or the following Monday Mar 3 (which will be 63rd day). What are my chances of approval on the Friday? I ask becuz Immigration site says 800,000 must be seasoned 60 full days. Do they strictly enforce? My prob is that by Mar 3rd I’m just 10 days from Non -O expiring. Say I’m on point with all other paperwork for that upcoming date at BKK Immigration (current day’s bank book + Bank letter, TM30 etc) — what are my odds of receiving Extension of Stay in that 10 day window between Immigration Day and expiration of my 90 Day Non-O. As always, you guys are an amazing resource so thank you. If consensus is that 10 days isn’t long enough to achieve the goal, I will be back on here with an interesting question about having a last card to play that I came to possess quite unintentionally.

Now that anyone can freely marry anyone regardless of gender, does this mean a foreigner can apply for an extension of stay via marriage to a Thai citizen of the same gender? And qualify for the lower amount to park in a Thai bank when getting a retirement extension? Is all the same paperwork required, e.g. a translated Affirmation of Marital Status / affidavit of freedom to marry?

Goodevening all,

In case of DTV remote employee, is the company business license requested if submitted in Jakarta?

In case the employment contract is not in English, guess this needs to be translated in English but who is accredited to do it?

Can I translate it myself and annex it?

TIA

Hello, any stories of successful (or even unsuccessful) applications for DTV in Manila? I'm wondering if the embassy there is a quick turnaround like Jakarta or strict like Taiwan seems to be? I've searched the group and not much posts.

I can’t find much information about the renewal process of the DTV Visa.

From what I understand, you don’t have to leave Thailand after your first 180days (you can renew it at the immigration office)

But do we need to go out the country every 180 days after the 1st renewal?

Thank you

Is it easy to rent a condo with DTV Visa for a few months?

For example periods of 2-3 months since I plan to stay 6 months max to avoid being a tax resident and I am thinking of splitting those 6 months during different periods of the year.

Are the prices almost as good as long term rental?
