I created my TDAC as I'm flying back to BKK tomorrow and I forgot to enter my DTV visa number. There's a link to update the TDAC if there is an error but the link isn't working; I'm getting a server not found error. What should I do - keep trying? Create another one? Just explain what happened to the immigration officer in BKK?

I applied for my visa online on the 15th to Thailand with the royal embassy out of ny. My trip is next week and it still states pending approval. I’m worried. Is there someone to call for further info?

I came back by flight to DMK late afternoon Friday 2nd and I need to do my TM30 (I know it’s the landlady’s responsibility but she refuses to do it) and 90 day notification. But are the immigration offices closed because it’s a holiday?

My husband and I have retired in Thailand, where he was born and has acquired citizenship. We entered the country on a retirement visa, but are experiencing difficulties in obtaining the necessary paperwork to legally reside in Thailand as his spouse. We possess a valid marriage license and certificate issued in the USA. Should we consider remarrying in Thailand to simplify the process, given our 28 years of marriage?

Hi to one and all, I shall try to briefly explain my situation. I am totally blind and I’m travelling to Bangkok on the eighth and arriving in Bangkok on the ninth from Manchester and changing at Amsterdam on the way . The issue that I’m having is that the website is not very accessible I’ve tried using a mobile phone and laptop because I use a screen reader which allows me to know what is on the screen however, the drop-down menus are not being displayed or spoken and when I have to search for certain things such as the different categories that are listed it doesn’t let me activate anything. so to give you a scenario, if I’m trying to choose my preferred accommodation to where I will stay I can jump into the search box but then it won’t actually find the results.  What is people’s suggestions? Should I just arrive at the airport and see if the airline can help me with it or just hope the best. I do understand that I have to fill this form in online 72 hours before I leave.  Thanks a lot

Well getting caught in the U.S. Federal Government downsizing so will be retiring this year versus next year. Right now I'm planning on landing along the coast between Bangkok and Pattaya and will be applying for the 90 day "O" visa (I think versus the OA) to enter and then doing the one year extension after I get a bank account sorted out. So a few questions for anyone willing to provide any guidance or thoughts to the following:

1) Not 100% sure this is where I want to end up, but would it be better to stay in the same area until after the first 12 month Visa extension is completed or isn't this an issue (I keep reading there are slight differences in different immigration offices).

2) Anyone have a recommendation on an agency to assist with the opening a bank account, getting Thai license, and 12 month extension either in Pattaya or Bangkok?

I expect to arrive in Thailand sometime late Oct or early mid November (just completed a two week vacation there a couple of weeks ago. Any other thoughts or tidbits someone wants to share will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

"Once I get the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), after 180 days, do I still need to show 500,000 Baht every time I extend it? If I exit and re-enter, is there any chance immigration might get suspicious and ask to see my bank balance again before giving a new entry stamp? Nowadays, many agencies are offering DTV visa packages, so I just want to be sure before I apply."

Hey everyone. It has come to my attention that I need to report every 90 days at immigration office. I came into the country in January and was planning on leaving at the end of the month. So what do I do? Anybody know where thr immigration office is at? I'm around Onnut in Bangkok. Wondering if anybody else did not report. I honestly had no idea. Thanks in advance

Got my DTV Workation Visa approved in Hanoi the other day (4 working days) flew back into Bangkok via Don Mueang Airport today and had no issues at immigration. Despite having an 11-year visa history with various types. Tourist visas, visa exemptions, education visas etc.

I was nearly refused entry 3 months ago via land border using a visa exemption and told to get a proper visa. Just wanted to share that applying for the DTV in Hanoi wasn’t a problem, even with a long visa history, and re-entering Thailand went smoothly with absolutely no questions asked.

Big thanks to everyone in the group for all the support and info—really appreciate it!
