Hi guys, I will be changing employers soon in Bangkok and my current HR has advised that my family and myself need to go to Chaengwattana immigration in person to cancel our Non B's. They will provide all the documents to do so...

My question is, has anyone got any personal experience in doing this? How difficult is the process ( I know I probably can't get an exact answer to this question).

Lastly, would it be better to let an agent do this, as it means my son will miss a day of school (he won't be complaining though hah) and I really dislike going to this place in general! Any recommendations for a visa agent if this is a better route to take?

Any decent advice would be appreciated.

I have a question about the LTR-WP visa procurement process AFTER one has received Endorsement Approval from BOI and one wants to travel to Bangkok to get it stamped on the passport.

We want to fill out the on-line form on LTR's webiste but one of the fields to be filled in the form asks for the entry date and duration of stay, which will be based on the STAMP the immigration puts when we land. Now our current plan is to be in BKK on Nov 13th which is already 55 days out from today.

To complicate the matters, the Endorsement Qualification email also said that we have 60days from the date of the Endorsement to fill out this form and submit it for getting a visa date issued by the immigration/visa service. This leaves us a VERY short window of 4-5 days upon arrival to submit any additional documents they'll tell us only after our submisision.

Has anyone gotten an LTR-WP visas and had to travel to Bangkok to get it issued? If so, I would like an opportunity to understate the exact process. TIA

EDIT: Sorry, I have been QUALIFIED for Endorsement by the BOI but have NOT received the formal Endorsement Letter. Before that step I need to fill out an application online and my question is can that be filed before I enter Thailand and if so, what should i fill in the field where it asks "Duration of Stay in Thailand" coz my understanding is that the duration will be determined at the port of entry (BKK) when I get there. Is that correct, or can I put 60d because I hold a passport that allows me visa-free entry for 60d?

Hello all I was in Thailand for two months last year. . I was there again this year for seven weeks. I am going back in February next year for possibly three months. When I'm there I am continuing with dental treatment I had in June July this year.

What is the best way to do this please for three months stay. Do I simply extend for an extra 30 days at my local immigration office in Hua Hin?

Note to Trolls.

Yes I have googled it. ThanksšŸ‘šŸ»

Hi, I am currently on retirement visa applied in my home country. It is expiring on 1 December 2025. Anyone has any idea how early can I apply for renewal of the 1 year visa? I am from Singapore, so retirement visa's duration is only for 1 year. I tried calling Thai Embassy in Singapore but no one picked up the phone.

So much misinformation.

I’m getting my LTR and was wondering if I could pay the 50k fee by QR code, as many said there’s a 5k limit.

Well, I just paid without any problems.

Ofc I had to scan my face, but that’s just a security measure that I love.

Hi all, I tried using Sinbi Muay Thai gym in Rawai for the soft power visa however they advised that they stopped providing supporting documentation for the soft power visa.

Can anybody recommend a high quality Muay Thai gym in Phuket that is offering the supporting documentation for the soft power DTV visa please?
