First questions

Applying for marriage visa next year

Been married 10 years

Can do the income requirements, £1,000 a month

In group members experience is it better through an agent or do it yourself ?

I under stand that you can suspend the Visa and get a re -entry permit , does this expire when the marriage visa expires ?

We live in Bangkok

Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I just did the 1 year extension on the marriage visa. First I was thinking I have to keep the money in the bank all the time, but considering I got the 1 year stamp and need to do only drive through 90 days reports and some comments I've seen here lately, it seems like I can use these money now? Or I will have problems obtaining next extension in 1 year if I don't keep them untouched? 🙏

Question - I recently got my Yellow Book and Thai ID Card. I am British passport holder and married to a Thai lady.

The senior man at the Amphoe said the next step is to complete of a TM10 process which would entitle me to a Blue Thai ID card (rather than my Pink one)…. I have tried to research the TM10 to understand what it is, and there is little info on tbe Net …. Can anyone shed any light please?

A Russian family came in for 3 months (90 day on arrival)

They now want to do a border run and stay another 1 month…..

They and I cannot find any info online, can anyone confirm what they will get if they come back in after a border run?

Will it be another 90 days or 1 month or something else???

My goal is a September 24' arrival to Thailand to apply for retirement visa. I will meet the age and income requirements. What visa should I apply for coming into country to ease this process. I was told coming in on visa exempt tourist or 60 day tourist isn't recommended. Do I need any other documentation from home. My thought was hire an agent for first time and learn process to do on my own in future years. I'll be coming from USA. I've read about needing law enforcement back ground checks etc being required. Should I bring that also? Thanks for any tips.

Last year I had an 15 month ( 3+ 12) Non-o visa that expired on Dec 18. I arrived Dec 19 (ev30) and extended at Jomtien, no issues. I just flew out to Vietnam for 5 days and on my return was asked for boarding pass and outbound ticket (which I had). Stamped in ev30 again.

I have now been asked to attend a conference in HK early march.

Question:

will purchasing and using a Fast Track pass ease my immigration concerns of not being let back in, or do i just suck it up and hope for the best, with the worst is i'm ejected.

I'm in HK for 6 days, Aussie passport. constructive options please?

Non-O 90 days application question:. I just submitted all the necessary paperwork myself at the immigration office, no visa agent. They say everything looks good, but come back in two weeks. Are they checking to make sure that everything, bank statements, lease, etc., is as it should be?

Question for the experts please:

Just recently renewed my yearly extension in Phuket Town

(the so called “retirement” visa - Non-O)

My wife and kid are “following” as dependents on my visa.

The immigration officer asked if my kid was at school (he was born here) and I said yes.

He told me that he should be on a student visa and I should change it next time.

Why!?

I wasn’t aware that it was mandatory? He has a valid yearly visa as my dependent.

Is this correct? Because it hasn’t been an issue before for many years. 🤷‍♂️
