hello, new member, so thank-you... I will travelling again to thailand in February 2025. This trip I will be seeking a good visa agent in Udon Thani for a retirement non-o visa. Can anyone give a good recommendation for agents . thank-you.

Does anyone know if I open a company i get a visa longer than 3 months? I want to invest in a business but it takes time to find the right business, Are there agents who can answer? thanks

Hello everyone!

I’m currently in Bangkok on a Tourist Visa (TR) with a single entry, which expires on December 9th. I’m planning to apply for a 30-day visa extension and was wondering about the best place to apply.

I’ve heard that the process in Bangkok is smooth and straightforward. However, I’m leaving Bangkok on December 1st and will be in Chiang Mai around the time I plan to submit my application (likely December 2nd or 3rd). I’ve also read mixed reviews about the Chiang Mai immigration office, with some people mentioning delays or even rejections.

I’d love to hear your experiences or advice on extending a Tourist Visa at these locations (or others in Thailand). Specifically:

1. Is the process easier or quicker in Bangkok vs. Chiang Mai?

2. Any tips for ensuring a successful extension?

I appreciate any insights you can share!

Thank you in advance. 🙏

Documents check - pending approval does somebody know the meaning of these statuses?

Is pending approval just the signature of the embassy officer needed after all documents are declared sufficient?

What is your knowledge?

Can anyone provide an example of an acceptance letter for soft power Muay Thai as Im not sure if my current gym is able to write this letter or not since they haven’t done it and they could happily do it for me.

Does the gym need a special certification for this letter?

If the gym can do a Muay Thai ED visa, can he also make the letter for this visa?

Thank you

They asked me for additional documents 2 days ago, i submitted that and then now they ask me for guranteed letter? Why would they let me apply in the first place? Now there is no any embassy or consulate of nepal in vietnam, i guess they know it. Can i change the application location or i just donated them the fees???

Hi all, please accept for consideration Admin. If not relevant, feel free to reject my post.

Can a 60 day, visit Thai family extension be exxtended for an additional 30 days, at my local immigration office? Thanks everyone for the advice.

I'm currently on a 60 day visa exempt STAMP which I also want to extend for an additional 30 days at my local immigration office.

I am a Canadian citizen who received 60 days when I arrive at the airport. I would like to apply Non O for retirement and I live in Samut prakan. May I know where do I apply Non O. Do I have to apply at Cheng Wattana Office or Samut Prakan Immigration for Non O? Thank you.
