Hello!

I recently finished my bachelors degree (remote) and have been in Thailand the past 1.5 years on education visas and visa except in the beginning. I fell in love with the country, a Thai man and Muay Thai.

I did not have 500,000 in an account in my name because I had a company in Germany before and it was safest there while I was abroad. Transferred it now. I can get a recent statement, but not 3 months.

I am planning to add a cover letter explaining my plans etc.

Do you have any advice on embassies (close to Thailand) or general advice?

I appreciate it!

Guys this is the stamp I received at immigration for my Non O based on retirement. It looks somewhat different from others I’ve seen. Is the new way of stamping in line with e-visa? The bank is refusing to accept it as a Non O Visa

I am confused. I am seeking a retirement visa. I'm a US citizen and I qualify financially, both monthly pension and 800k.

Do I:

Begin O-A visa process in my country?

OR

Seek 90 day Non-immigrant 50+ visa and Begin O-Retirement visa once I land in Thailand.

Thanks for any advice

I was late submitting the 90-day report, overdue by just 7 days. Will I be fined?

Seeking Justice for a Minor Visa Application Error 🇹🇭🚫

Pls help!

My husband's Thai eVisa application was denied due to a small mistake in his name format. The application showed "Muhammad M. Abullaah," but his passport omits the initial "M." Shockingly, we were denied the chance to correct the error and were informed that our 8,820 THB (AED 1,000) application fee won't be refunded.

Key points:

* Paid a significant fee (8,820 THB/AED 1,000)

* Rejected due to a minor error in name format

* No opportunity provided to rectify the mistake

* Unfair denial of refund or modification

Please share your advice on how to resolve this issue and seek justice for our situation. Your support is truly appreciated!

I’m getting a brainbleed: ‘Homeadress’ is my adress in my original country or the adress in Vietnam(where I’m doing the application from)?

I finally submitted my application now that I landed in Vietnam but it keeps saying payment failed or canceled. I only have one international debit card with Charles Schwab that I’ve taken and used in over 12 different countries with no issue. I have a travel notice set for both Vietnam and Thailand and I am currently using it for other purchases.

I’ve tried safari, chrome, DuckDuckGo, laptop and mobile and keep getting failed payment. I’m so stressed out does anyone have a solution please? I’m on hold with my bank but their headquarters are in Texas and no one has answered yet. I want to give up.

EDIT: the Thai eVisa payment processing center is a Thai bank however its address is located in HONG KONG. I called my bank and they approved the charge and added Hong Kong to my travel alerts in addition to Vietnam and Thailand.

According to the Schwab representative I called, the eVisa website also used the current address zip code for the billing address - which is so nonsensical bc if I have to be in the country of the embassy I’m applying to why would they use the current address zip code for the billing zip code? Why not ask for that when taking down payment information?

Anyway, hope this helps any future applicants
