Good day all,

I'm hoping someone can please help as I'm new to travelling to thailand, I have been there only once on single entry tourist visa. For reference I have an Australian passport.

I would like to return to CNX for the period of 6 to 9 months (9 preferred). From some research it seems like you are able to do this on Single entry tourist visa or multiple entry tourist visa. From my understanding:

1. Single entry tourist visa - 60 days, +30 day extension. Go to neighbouring country before 90 days expire, for 1 or 2 days e.g., Laos, and apply for another single entry visa at the local thai embassy. Repeat every 3 months. Are there any potential complications with this process, like to be refused entry to thailand, or processing delays in Laos etc (how long does it usaully take to get the stamp?). I have never done this before, any advice here is appreciated. Do people usaully bring their checked luggage when going for the new visa or just leave it inside your thai accommodation?

1. METV - It is valid for 6 months and you can stay for 90 days each. Does this mean you can stay for 6 months total as long as you exit and re-enter after 90 days? Is there any way to use this visa to stay longer than 6 months? Really appreciate if someone can explain this cause I don't understand this visa.

Any advice or corrections will be highly appreciated.

Very new to the process but I have family in Thailand i would like to live with/visit.

Please leave a comment or send me a personal message.

Thank you

I've lived and worked in Thailand for 15 years on a business visa with work permit (sorry if that's not exactly what its called). I plan to retire next year and move to a Non-O based on being over 55.

I read that the banked 800k needs to be transferred from overseas... but all my savings has come from my working in Thailand?

Thoughts?

My question : I know I can carry $ 9999.99 cash from Canada to Thailand without declaring. Can my 15 year old son carry the same amount of cash. ? Or is there an age restriction?

Any clarity would be appreciated.

I have the initial 90 day non-immigrant visa and work permit, now it is being extended to a 1 year.

From what I can see the multiple wntry 1 year allows for me to leave and return to Thailand whenever, however I must leave every 3 months?

And the single entry I do not have to leave every 3 months, and if I leave the country I have to obtain a re-entry permit before hand?

I am an American who has applied for the 90-day Non-O visa with the intention of applying for Retirement visa when in Thailand.

The morning of February 14th, I submitted my application through the consulate in Chicago. I still see the submission in the "Processing Pending Document Check (1)" state. My flight is booked for March 26th and I am concerned about not having the visa in time.

I believe the website says usual processing time is 10 days. Are my expectations unrealistic? What wait time should I expect through the Chicago consulate?

Second 90 day visa? At the end of our visa we plan to go back to Thailand and reapply for a second 30 or 90 day visa. Is this permitted?
