I submitted an application for Multiple entry tourist visa online and just got rejection email. Somehow passport expiry date went to default date . Email says reapply , does anyone know if you can get in to application and correct? Or do I have to make a whole new application? And will I need to pay again? Web site has me turning circles. Thanks

Anyone done a Non B extension recently in BKK? Whats the turn around time this year?

My son is in Thailand with Non Ed visa. He is visiting another country, might not come back to Thailand.

My question is what does he need to do with the Language university? Does he need to cancel his Non Ed visa? If so how is the process?

TIA

hi! i need to get a re-entry visa in chiang mai, and i have a memory that they only do it either in the morning or in the afternoon. Any clues? Thank you!

A bit of a tag on from last month, my non o visa didn't come in time, so I got 30 days on arrival, went to my local immigration office extended for 30 days my visa came same day .went through immigration at DM Airport, this morning, holiday with wife and kids, and to renter to activate my visa. IO pulled me over and took me to a office ,wanting to know what visa I had,

After about 10 minutes on his computer and a phone call, I found out, my local immigration officer bad stamped me in till may 2025 instead of 2024 ,amazing what a coffee tip does 😄

Hope someone here can advise. My friend is sailing into Phuket in July, he wants to stay for around 7 months while he has work done on his boat before crossing Indian Ocean. He will be living in his boat whilst he is here. What is his best option visa wise ? Can he just sail out, stamp into Malaysia then re enter Thailand and do this 3 times ? Any help or advice would be welcome.

Thank You

Please be careful when using other people to assist with documents. South Africans we have had an unfortunate thing where it appears we have been defrauded - no documents and ongoing demands for more money. Please pm if you need info. Just warning Saffa expats.

Hi there,

AUS passport, registered TM30 in CM, with Non-OX (5 year retirement) visa, due to expire in August.

Whilst I could extend the Non-OX, I decided to change to a Non-O visa (reasons below).

I was told the Non-OX visa can’t be changed directly into a Non-O visa. The process would be;

1. On my next return to Thailand in July, request the IO to ignore the then still valid visa and enter on a 30 day visa exempt stamp.

2. Get 30 day extension

3. Apply for Non-O visa (90 day visa)

4. Get annual extension (+ multiple entry re-entry permit)

Questions:

Will the IO ignore a valid visa on my request?

Could I skip step 2. As money is already in the bank for some time.

Thanks for your expertise and insight.

Reason to change away from OX:

If the Non-OX would mean 5 years without dealing with immigration (besides 90days/TM30), it would be great.

BUT, I still need to visit immigration every year for the document inspection and provide bank and insurance verification documents

SO; either way annual immigration visit, but with a Non-O there is no insurance requirement and a lot less money to keep in the bank (and with the freed up money better invested, it pays easy for the visa/extension and re-entry permits).

This is good news

Hi, does anyone know if I can apply for a re-entry permit at Krabi Airport? I have an international flight from Krabi to Kuala Lumpur.
