Praise report!

Yesterday I went to immigration at Chiang Rai Central Plaza to get my yearly Non-O retirement extension.

I had all the correct paperwork, took a number, waited about 10 minutes, submitted my paperwork to the very pleasant IO, paid my 1,900 baht and received my new stamp.

All up around 40 minutes!

Very pleasant and efficient service!

Well done Chiang Rai Immigration Office.👏👏👏

Before applying for my DTV this week, I had been entering Thailand on visa on arrival for the past six months. That means I’ve already stayed in the country well over 90 days within the last year. I plan to re-enter Thailand this week to activate my DTV.

I just realized I may need to complete the 90-day reporting, but I’m not clear on the exact process. From what I understand, I’ll need a TM30 from the homeowner ?, Could someone provide me with a clear step-by-step plan of action for handling this?

I’m based in Rayong, so I assume I’ll need to take care of everything at Rayong Immigration. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Please advise: We have a return flight ticket for 4 months in Thailand. When we travel into the country, do we need to have documentation that we are leaving Thailand within 60 days, so maybe buy a return ticket to Laos or Vietnam (3-4 days) in advance?

Hello. I have a question.

I will go to Thailand soon. That's a first. I'm going as a tourist for 60 days. Do I have to book a return ticket and show them upon arrival in Thailand. I will probably apply for 30 days about an extension. Thank you 🖐️

Hej. Jag har en fråga.

Jag kommer att åka till Thailand snart. Det är första gången. Jag åker som turist 60 dagar. Måste jag boka retur biljett och visa dem vid ankomst till Thailand. Jag kommer troligen att söka 30 dagar ca förlängning. Tack 🖐️

Any recommendation at applying in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Bali?

Cheers!

Hey everyone 👋🏼 almost finished my application for freelance DTV in Vientiane. I’m at the supporting documents section, however the website is only allowing me to upload 1 single document per section 🫠🫠🫠 what do people do with this? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance

Hello asking if i am going out at 92 days

Grace period

I am on dtv

It will be a problem or fine?

Thank you before

1 September i applied, then 10 September got request for additional documents(visa in Indonesia, and proof of stay in Indonesia), then I got a pending approval status today(11 Sept), but just two hours later, it changed to “Rejected.” What could be the issue? I had 500k in my account for three months, and I also have a remote job with a contract, so my finances are stable. They didn’t specify the reason for the rejection, no explanation was provided. This was at the Jakarta embassy.

Applied London 25/8. More info 27/8 approved 10/9. The email came through at 22.00. I wonder if they approve in Thailand or locally? 🤔

Like many people my Bangkok Bank was frozen and after 2 weeks it was working again.

I decided it would be prudent to open another account so I went to Kasikorn and opened an account very easily.

I thought I’ll just open 1 more for luck, so went to SCB, the lovely gentleman started the application and then advised I already had a bank account open with them! 23 years ago one hungover morning I opened a bank account whilst in Pattaya with my friend and his Thai girlfriend, deposited some money and carried on with my holiday. Got back to the UK, lost the book and didn’t come back to Thailand for another 13 years. I couldn’t remember the bank name so wrote it off as a loss.

Today he re activated my account and I had 27,000 in it 😂😂
