As an Australian Citizen I receive 60 days visa free on arrival at BKK. I can then extend for 30 days at Immigration. If I then depart BKK and fly return to Vientiane, Laos VTE OR Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia KUL for a few days.... can I then get another 60 days visa free on arrival back in BKK? Also, can I then apply at immigration for a 30 day extension at Immigration? The total period is approximately six months with a few days exit in the middle.

Thank you in advance for any helpful replies.

O-A Visa application and insurance timing.

Gathering everything I need to apply for O-A

Los Angeles, California is consulate with jurisdiction.

Planning to travel in early December.

The website says I have 90 days to get stamped in to Thailand, so all my required documents are ready except insurance certificate.

If I was to apply early, does the health insurance need to be valid at the time of application, or can it have a December start date?(And December flights)

I like to have things ready well ahead of time, but do not want to waste application fees by submitting incorrect documents, or only be stamped in for 10 months because I applied early and burned through 2 months o insurance when I was not in Thailand yet.

What is the process for certifying a British passport?

2 years ago I was told to go to the British Embassy. I believe this is no longer possible.

It has to be done by Apostille?

I am in UK at the moment travel to stay with my wife in Udon Thani.

What is the process if in UK, I have differing advice from various sources.

DTV Visa for Retired Canadian – Is It Really Possible?

I’m a Canadian retiree (from Québec) and I’m currently looking into the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Some agencies told me it is *very easy* for a retiree like me to obtain this visa, but others say it’s *not possible* since the DTV is not meant for retirees. I would really appreciate hearing from people with first-hand experience.

* My profile: fully retired, no financial issues (very high investment income and bank assets, more than enough to qualify for any financial requirement).

* My goal: to stay in Thailand for several months every year without the hassle of making large deposits in a Thai bank like the O-A/O-X retirement visas require.

Here are my main questions:

1. Is the DTV visa truly possible for a retiree (50+, Canadian passport)?

2. Can I apply directly through the embassy/consulate myself, or do I absolutely need to go through an agency?

3. If you recommend using an agency, which reliable one would you suggest?

4. If I can apply on my own, what documents do I need to prepare (income proof, bank statements, insurance, proof of “activity” for DTV, etc.)?

5. Has anyone here already obtained a DTV as a retiree and could share their real experience?

Thank you very much for your advice! 🙏

Someone was talking about some embassies can make a note in your profile when they deny your application.

How can i check if there is a negative note in my profile surrounding my last DTV application? And who can help me remote that note??

Can someone confirm whether or not the following email that I recieved from a Thai visa agent is true:?

*"It is an option whether you choose to show your savings of 800,000 THB or a monthly income of 65,000 THB. You only need to meet one of these requirements, not both."*

*"For American citizens, the only option is to deposit 800,000 THB, as the Royal Thai Embassy in your country no longer provides income certification, and the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok does not verify income either."*

So, they're saying the monthly deposit of 65,000 THB does not apply to American citizens.

Thank you.

Hello all.

So I'm an American in the Bangkok area and I'm coming up on my 60 days and want to get a 30 day extension. So I'm seeing the forms I think I need to fill out but am unsure if the condo where I'm staying should provide any info on where I'm staying or if i need to fill out something myself.

I know I need a passport photo and a copy of my passport to provide to immigration.

I was hoping that someone who's done this could give me a little guidance.

I would appreciate any help.

Hi. Applying for a 90 day non immigrant visa from Thai embassy in Uk . Is a latest copy of a Uk bank account showing equivalent THB 400k or more in funds adequate or will they need the last 2 months ?

‼️ SYDNEY ONLY ‼️ this may not be useful for any other consulates

I thought I’ll come here to share my experience with fellow Sydney-siders, very smooth experience.

I got a soft power DTV (cooking class)

it worked well.

I applied Thurday 11th at night, got approved Monday 22nd (today) at 10:30am

What I provided:

Over 25k in a bank statement, didn’t have to be in the account for 3 months or anything like that.

Proof of class by partnered DTV class, I only got the 6 month option.

All the details put in correctly.

Professional digital passport photo.

That’s literally it.

Hope this helps and goodluck

When arriving in Thailand on a Type O visa being married to a thai, how long does it take to receive a ‘Certificate of Residence’ so that I can open a bank account?
