Hi everyone,

I have a non migrant B visa finishing 15th of March and I quit my job end of february so they refused to do the paperwork for longer...

I would like to stay at least one more month for tourism and maybe looking for a new job.

How can i do this ?

Thanks a lot

Wondering if anyone knows if immigration in Bangkok or Hua Hin is accepting the current affidavit of income from Canadian Consulate as proof of income? TIA

Please put my mind at ease. US passport holder, planning to fly to Thailand tomorrow, staying a couple weeks. Can I still do visa on arrival or do I need to do an application?

Do you know if new ETA system requests is working from now? I am Belgian, I don't need a visa to go to Thailand but there is a new rule since 2025. We need to ask to stay officially and it should be free of charges. I don't find any request form to ask such a thing on internet.

Hi. Topic: the 1-year extension to a Non-O 90-day visa. Assuming all eligibility and financial requirements can be met, which option of the two : the extension based on Retirement, or extension based on marriage to a Thai, which is easiest, less hassle ? ( I know about the Bt400,000 price difference.)

I wish to retire to Thailand later this year. From UK, I’ll be depositing 800,000 in Bangkok Bank. My gf says they told her I just need my proof of accommodation (TM30?). Then I wait 2 months with proof of funds before applying for the year extension.

Does this sound like a plan ?

Please be nice. Some of you guys can be big meanies 😂😂😂

Hello all!

I have a small predicament. My family is moving to Bangkok in may/June and while my husband will be getting a DTV, I’m not sure what I should do. We have a couple kids with us so this is where it gets complicated. While I know we can attach to the DTV as dependents, I’m in university for a TESL degree and need to start an internship in August. If I’m correct, I believe I can’t be on the DTV if I’m also on an education visa for my internship. But… my husband has to fly back to the states in July alone so the kids (who will be on his DTV) will be left with me in BKK. Curious how we should work this… would it be more beneficial to hold off on applying for the DTV until after he gets done in the states (it’s only a 2 week trip), and just hang out on visa exempt for a couple months??

Looking for advice on getting s work Visa in Thailand. I am coming back for a 60 day visit and looking for a job while in country.

Can you get a work permit without having a specific employer?

Hello, I want to retire in Thailand in the korat area at the end of this year, looking at the financial requirements for a retirement visa or I believe the other option is a non o visa for a year and then extend it for another year and in that time deposit 65,000 or more into a Thai bank account, would this work or do I have to stump up the 800,000 , no intention of getting married at the moment, have friends in Korat who have married and built their own houses, love the area and the friendly people

I don’t know whether to go and use an agent to simplify the process and I’m not sure if this is hundred percent legal, is there any comeback on using an agent, Thai government websites say that if you can prove from your pension provider that you have over 65,000 baht per month paid into a Thai bank account then this negate the need for the 800,000, I’m not sure what to believe because my friends are telling me that no bank or pension provider in the UK will certify this, confused

Hey everyone,

I've done a search for this already in the group, but the results were a bit dated.

I'm currently in Thailand on a tourist visa, but going to apply for a Non-O visa (spouse visa) in Kuala Lumpur in February. From the info I've gathered, everything is done online now. It recommends applying 2-weeks ahead of the intended travel date to Thailand, but also says you CANNOT apply from within Thailand.

I'm guessing that as soon as I touch down in KL, I should submit my documents. Has anyone done this? If so, how long did it take for them to process your visa?

Thank you! 🙏
