Good Morning, quick question: Retirement extension is possible 40/30 days in advance? Expires June, 2nd. I remember i was refused once as i was too early. CW BKK, thanks for a quick clarification.

Hello all,

I was wondering about 90 days report.

Here are my situtaion, I was reporting through website as usually but didn’t get any answer about the result after 14 days. So I decided to go to immigration but unfortunately earthquake happened. Today has passed the due date of 90 days report but I saw the news that Cheangwattana Building is having an accident occured again today. In this case, the immigration will cause a fine for 90 days report late or not ?

Hope every one stay safe !

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

My apologies for getting the news wrong

Sorry for jumping the gun on the notice about Chaengwattana Building B being evacuated.

I just got confirmation from people out there that it's business as usual and people are waiting for their queue to be called for their immigration needs

They DID evacuate Building A though (but the immigration office is in Building B)

Hello I am in Bangkok on a tourist Visa looking to go to Vientiane, Laos to apply for a DTV Visa.

I have some questions

1. Will I need to apply for an E Visa before going through to Vientiane to Thailand or can I just book an appointment with all documents required and apply in person at the Thai embassy in Vientiane?

Is a Laos entry stamp on passport stuffient forthe current location document or can I will need an address of hotel booking for example?

As I have quite a unique visa situation any input would be much appreciated?

Cheers

Exploring the option of applying for DTV in Thailand but struggling to find if my circumstances make me eligible.

Am about to become a landlord for one property only, in the UK. Would this meet the requirements for a DTV? Not a registered company, just a landlord with accountant to deal with self-assessment to HMRC. Have sufficient funds in UK.

Would I be viewed as a business owner? I don’t have a cert. of incorporation, nor a tax return yet as landlord status will commence next financial year (April 2025/26) so no tax return until 2026.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

My family and I (my wife and our two kids) are planning to move to Thailand for an undetermined period, in about two years. I just wanted to run my plan by you and get some feedback to see if it makes sense.

I own a company back home in Canada, which provides me with a regular salary. I'm considering applying for the DTV visa — would this be a suitable option in my case? Also, would my family be able to join me under this visa? If needed, I could also put my wife on the company payroll.

Lastly, would our kids be able to attend school while we're in Thailand?

Thanks a lot for your help!

So I read in a few different places that if you have questions about applying because you have a specific situation that's not the norm, that you should contact the embassy where you plan to apply, so that you can be sure you have everything in order according to that embassy's requirements. Well, my plan is to go to Cambodia to apply. And so I emailed the embassy last week on Sunday. I was expecting they may read it on Monday and reply like on Monday or Tuesday. But it's already Sunday again ( a whole week passed) and still no answer from them. Anyone experience email communication with embassy's like this in which it's just a couple of questions needing answering so I can continue my application prep? What's normal as far as waiting on an email reply?

Does the DTV bar you from conducting any work in Thailand OR working for a Thailand-based company? For example, I also do professional speaking. I'm American. Could I get hired to speak in-person at a corporate event or retreat in Thailand that is put on by an American company?

Is it common to get questioned when re entering the Kingdom? I come in and out a few times a year. This time I did 6 weeks here then flew to Taipei for 10 days, when I came in this time he asked how long I intended to stay and wanted to see my onward tkt.

I was planning to do another 6 weeks and go to the Philippines for a few weeks before returning again. Feeling a bit apprehensive now.

I hear people doing border runs for a day without any problems.
