Hi everyone, yup I'm a bit slow. Been coming to Thai many years and have had many a wonderful trip. I often visited other countries whilst here so didn't need to worry about 30 or then 45 day visa. Now getting on in years and a permanent girlfriend ( unless she nags too much) need to think about the 60 day online visa for when I'm back in the UK in April to come back June. Best advice please. Thanks.

I have Non-B 90 days which is going to expire end of March. The company wants to apply for work permit and extends my Non-B to 1 year but I decided to leave this company and Thailand for good. Should I still cancel that 90 days Non-B? Or just leave the country?

Hi,

After a lot of thinking I come to the l that the Non-Immo O-A is possibly the best for the first 12 months but I am still uncertain about the following:

As I understand, the O-A METV, applied through the Thai Consulate, has no „waiting period“ like the Non-Immo O extension of stay (which comes with the 90 day visa).

Instead the O-A becomes valid with the first entry into Thailand if I am not mistaken.

Can I apply for an O-A and the necessary health insurance in a few weeks but only enter Thailand a few months later (obviously health insurance has to match my date of entry) or do I need to enter as soon as I receive the Visa?

I ask this because I have my criminal record paper already but prefer to enter Thailand between August and October

Thanks

Holiday visa to Ireland was granted recently for TGF. It's a single entry Visa. Ireland is not a Schengen country. Can we go to different European countries or is she stuck and can't leave until visa expires?

We were thinking of dividing our time between Thailand and Vietnam. Rather than getting the 0 visa and having to tie up 800k thb, we were thinking of entering Thailand with a 60-day tourist visa, extending it once for 30 more days, then spending the next 3 months in Vietnam and returning to Thailand with another 60-day visa + 30 day extension.

I saw a post saying that you can't spend more than 3 months in the country on a tourist visa within any 6-month period, so this route may not be possible? If this is the case, is getting the multiple-entry 0 visa the best way to stay longer? We would prefer not to tie up 800k/pp in a bank if we can avoid it.

We're US citizens, age 50+.

TIA.

Hi guys, a quick maybe strange question. We got a SMS with an update, that your visa proses application is ready to be picked up. But nowhere can we find if the status was approved or no. And when we go to the vfs global to track our status, it says it doesn't recognize our reference number. Can't call either, cause they are closed in thailand now. Is there a different way to check the status, or just wait for the passport to arrive? It's for dutch tourist visum. Thanks

Hello all, looking for any information for a visa from UK, we are training thaiboxing 4 months of the year,but looking for best visa so we can stay for year without worry cheers

Hi. I’ve been here for 2 years on an ED visa. In April I am planning to go to Laos with a bus company and return back to Chiang Mai on the same day with a tourist visa. Then apply for a Non imm O and then a year extension for retirement. Read a post earlier suggesting that after 2 years this can be problematic, even though my circumstances sound different.

I’m wondering if it might be wise to take my belongings with me just in case?

Will my bank book be helpful showing funds?

Also, after taking much heart from the posts here I plan to take responsibility of all my own visa and immigration affairs myself, bypassing an agent. As always, very grateful for your replies.

Hi all,

My query relates to Drivers licenses. I have a Full Australian drivers license, if my license was cancelled or suspended can I apply for a Thai driver’s license by taking driving lessons and a driving test to the satisfaction of the examiner in Thailand and then be issued a new Thai drivers license ?

Thank you in advance for any advice

Ed Visa Help - Applying form UK

Hey guys I need some help, we have decided on the school we want for our daughters in Phuket, and we are back in London - I’ve been advised to get the Ed visa process started here.

I’ve been on hold to the Thai embassy for ages, is there an online application form for the Ed visa or do I need to take my docs and go the Thai embassy in London and do it all there in person?

Sick of waiting on hold so wanted to see if anyone is in the know.

TIA
