Hello Everyone! First time posting in the group. Does anybody happen to have any experience or knowledge with the spousal visa CR1 in a foreign country? I’m American and my wife is Filipina We live in Thailand, as I have my retirement visa and she’s a dependent under my retirement visa and Thailand is our home. I tried googling and getting a hold of both embassies in Thailand, and in Philippines, and not getting any definite, clear answers. Does anybody have any knowledge or personal experience in a situation like this? to me, it makes sense to process the visa in Bangkok at the US Embassy since that is our residence but yet she is a Filipina, so not sure if it needs to be done in the Philippines, which that would make no sense to keep going back-and-forth 

TIA!

Ok. I have a ‘what-if’ question.

I am arriving in Thailand soon, will be getting a bank account and visa extension based on marriage to a Thai lady. I plan to deposit 800k right away. My wife has a weak health and even though she is younger than me, chances are that I will live longer than she.

Now the question (and don’t start vomiting your wisdom about owning land and other irrelevant nonsense - I know and have taken precautions):

When I need to convert my visa extension from ‘married to Thai’ to a retirement visa I must have 800k in the bank. Will I by then need to prove that the money came from abroad or will a bank statement with 800k and supporting bank letter suffice?

What are the most reputable agents to use for long stay visas? Thanks

Hey guys just a quick question. I got stamped in on a tourist visa until 29th Feb but my flight out is on 2nd march. Since it’s only 2 days is it possible to avoid going to immigration and extending for another 30 days? Is paying for 2 days over stay a bad idea? Any tips would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!

Hi, I need some advice. My friend have contacted to agent to apply for work visa and they took her passport since last Dec. The company she worked for tried to follow up and they always postpone the date said waiting approve visa stamp by immigration.

in this case, what can we do? It been 3 months already.......

This is my first time using the Notification of staying in The Kingdom (Over 90 days) – TM 47, and as expected, it was not working 🙃

I got the below messages in an email 24 hours after submitting the information online.

Your application for "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" has been rejected.

**Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom/ Incorrect visa expiration date.

**

As you can read above, there are two reasons why the online registration was rejected. However, the dates I entered online are correct unless there is something I don't understand.

**Incorrect visa expiration date:

**I used the date stamped in my passport as the date where my NON-IMM Extention of stay is permitted to 8/11-2024

(so that date is correct)

Incorrect entry date upon entry into the kingdom:

As far as I understand, this is the date stamped into my passport on the latest day I arrived in Thailand after being abroad.

In my case, I arrived on 14/12-2023 at BBK Airport.

So the only thing I could've imagined is that I'm not supposed to use the latest arrival date, but instead, another date from the first time I arrived in Thailand or the arrival date before the one-year extension of stay was issued? **

**I know that that would not make sense, but could that be the case?

Has anyone experienced the same problem, or could you let me know what date to use?**

Hello, assuming I apply for tourist visa multiple entry and I state I arrive on the 1st of May. I apply for it around 1st of April and it got approved within a couple of days.

Are the 6 months ticking right after it got approved or from the 1st May according to my application.

Thank you

Hello, does someone know about the opening days of Chaeng Wattana Immigration on Songkran this year.

Will it be just the 3 days [11-13] as before or now the whole week [as they have now extended it]

Related to this, I have an Non-O visa /Thai Wife. Next extension is due for 15th May.

How long before that date can i apply for the extension. Is it just a month or can it be earlier than that?

Thanks for your help.

when you have completed a 1 year language course with a student visa. can you redo the course and get another year or can you only do the same course once.
