Got my DTV approved & flew into BKK the next day, had a female IO stamp me in. She looked a bit moody but no questions asked even though she took her time to look at my docs

What date does my visa expiry date looks like to you ? 20th June or 20th Jan, 2026 ?

If it’s 20th of June then it’s over 180 days that I got stamped in (190 days ?)

Please advise, if this will become a problem for me & how should I rectify this. Thanks in advanced !

I am trying to apply for my tourist visa, but the payment section is not working. It logs me out after about 1 minute. Anyone else having the same issue?

Hello

I try to apply for a Soft Power Muay Thai Visa.

I have to fill out the lenght of my stay, which I dont know yet for sure. The Gym made me the letter for 1 year, but I wont stay that long. Just about 3-5 months.

Thank you for your help

Got approved Jakrata on sunday. I got workstation one but no where on visa it's mentioned workstation, any difference between soft power and workstation? Since workstation would be stronger in eyes of immigration instead of dodgy 6 month cooking ones.

Hi, I'm on my 90-day Non-O visa, the 800k THB deposit should come in before or around Dec. 18, an exact month after my entry. I plan to extend my stay to a year. Many thanks to great advices from this group. My questions are :

1) when should I apply for an extension to a year ?

2) if I wait for my deposit to reach 2 full months and then apply, will I have enough window between 2-month deposit vs. 90-day stay ?

( I really don't want to leave the country and then re-apply for 90-day Non O )

3) are health insurance、criminal record from one's country required for the extension.

4) my Thai bank did not ask for address certificate and I successfully opened an account. Would I still need to apply for address certificate for any purpose ??

K-Bank at EmQuartier shopping mall did an excellent job, no address certificate needed、no hassles、very helpful staff and open on weekends. I strongly recommend this branch ! 💪💪

Million thanks ! 🙏🙏

Can I "renew" a marriage visa into a retirement Visa or do I need to start over with the retirement Visa process?

Hello

I have 2 quick questions. Can I get a retirement visa and then switch it over to a marriage visa? Second question: If I got a retirement visa in January, would I be able to leave in February and come back in April or May without issue? I appreciate your opinions.

God bless

I understand you need to maintain about 800,000 baht in an account to renew/keep the retirement Non O visa (or at least have it in there for 6 months before renewal) but I’ve heard you can withdraw funds momentarily and go below the 800,000 is this true? And I send money into my account regularly from Canada but is it possible to send it the other way? I mean back to Canada, with a banking app

Asking for a friend who is visiting me in Thailand soon.

1. Are yellow fever cards requested by Thai authorities for travellers coming from Africa? Her whole family is vaccinated but one physical card has been lost. She has an electronic scan of it and we are wondering if this will be enough?

2. Do travellers coming from Africa, but transiting in Doha, need to pass by a special control or separate queue at BKK?

Thank you for any insights 🙏🏾
