Got a lot of helpful info from others here, so sharing my experience too:

Success! DTV (Soft Power - Medical) approved via Los Angeles consulate.

Submitted May 14:

• 3 months of bank statements (above the required amount)

• Cover letter explaining medical need + supporting docs:

• Doctor’s letter

• Past appointment slips

• 2 upcoming appointment confirmations

Timeline:

No updates until May 29 — then status changed to “pending approval,” and approved later that day.

I hired an agent to apply for a retirement visa. Turns out she got me confused with someone else with the same first name and never filed anything. Now my visa on arrival (which has been extended to the 90 day max) is due to expire five days before my flight home. Is there a way to get an extra five days?

I’m flying into Bangkok then on to Chaing Rai for 1 month

I have only booked for accommodation first 2 nights and last 2 nights

The rest off the time in my partners village

Just wondering for the digital arrival card

Is the hotel name enough information

I should I put her address in the village

Thanks

Hello everyone. I have two questions and would really appreciate your help.

1. Regarding the financial requirement, can we use a bank account from overseas (not in Thailand) as proof of funds?

2. We are living in Japan.( Japanese citizenship ）Should we apply for the retirement visa at the Thai embassy in Japan, or should we first enter Thailand with a short-term visa and then apply at the Thai immigration office?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hey all, seeking advice for my upcoming move to Bangkok. I'm on a non-O retirement visa and have always handled my extensions in Phuket or Hua Hin. Now, I'll be living with my girlfriend in her condo here in BKK. Could anyone offer insights on:

> TM30 reporting when living in a girlfriend's condo?

> Key differences or things to prepare for when dealing with the Bangkok immigration office for my annual extension?

Hi does immigration close on coming Monday and Tuesday?

Hi. I have jest applied for a non O visa based on marriage, we were married in Thailand about 14 years ago,once I arrive in Thailand do I still work threw the Thai E visa for my extention of stay visa or do I go to an agency? Cheers..

Not sure if this is the page. But I have a Thai girlfriend. I'm 56 she is 51 . She applied for UK visa and got it within 3 weeks.

I've heard lots of stories that it's failed for other people.

I think it's down to the person you want to invite.

My girlfriend has 3 properties a son that is graduating and has a good job.

Ties to having to go back to Thailand is important.

Without ties you may struggle to get your girlfriend here.

I have my Non-o visa and will be travelling in 2 months time.I will be applying for a 12 month extension on the grounds of being married to a Thai. We were married in the UK. I intend using my own 400,000bht and doing our own application.
