I am a dtv visa holder and plan to live in thailand for 179 days a year. What is the best way or bank in th uk to use while in thailand. I would like to use the banks out there who have a foreign transaction counter to get money using a uk card but wondered which one is the best?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone used JetSim physical sim card in Thailand before and don't mind sharing your experience?

Not sure if it requires biometric registration now under the new sim card rules in Thailand.

Thanks.

Hi. What is the story of getting a Holiday Visa for 30 days. Coming from Ireland

I am retiring next year and I am married to a Thai, I am planning to get a non O visa and when I get there open a bank account.

I will probably only stay 2-3 months and then return in Maybe 3-4 months later.

When I go back would you advise getting another non O visa or just come on visa exemption? Will possibly come for 2-3 months again

Any visa agents that can help to cross from Vientiane back into Nong Khai? First time crossing the border by land back into Thailand without flying, no major passport history/abuse, however I would be keen to make the entry back into Thai as easy as possible hence looking for an agent. Been in Laos for 4 days sightseeing and now looking to continue my holiday in Thailand for another 1-2 months.

Good afternoon group. Can anyone confirm the current arrangements for a tourist visa on arrival? It was 30 days, then they increased it to 60 days but I read it was being abused & they were going to put it back to 30 days. But I didn’t hear anymore. I will be there December 28 for 35 days. I will leave Thailand during this time & return there at some point. I could of course buy a bus ticket across the border but only as a last resort. Thx.

I was reading a post about non O retirement similar to my question but can't find it now.

If I travel to Thailand on non- O 0ver 50 in February open a bank account a and transfer 800k baht. Can I leave and apply for exit visa. Return on my same Non-O in mid June for 6 weeks and in that period when the 800k is seasoned apply for one year extension.

Second question if extension approved can I get a multi entry extension.

Hello! So glad I discovered this page. I’m a Canadian teacher who has been offered a job in Thailand. I did not being my original degrees, but I have have clear scanned copies of transcripts from two different universities, and I am registered with the Ontario College of Teacher. My name can be searched on their website. Is there somewhere here that will notarize a scanned copy? Will the Thai government accept that? There is a postal strike in Canada so that complicated things even more.

[Dependent Visa - APPROVED Hanoi]

I recently got my DTV visa after 10 working days (Vietnamese national) and applied for my spouse (British national) straight after.

He submitted his application on Sep 18 and got the visa in 5 working days. I don't think dependent visas necessarily take longer. In my case, it probably depended on the nationalities 😅.

The visa was issued today - on a Sunday so it's definitive that the embassy does work on weekends.

I used the same account on Thaievisa website for both our applications. No need to create a separate account for the dependents if you can't be bothered.

I won't go into details unless s/o asks more specific questions. Just wanna clarify some stuff I personally wondered.

Please stop spreading news that Hanoi is getting more difficult, and you don't need an agency doing it for you either. Just research, be well prepared, and you'll get it! Good luck everyone 😁

Is it possible for your parents to stay with you in your condo while you are under DTV and they arrived under tourist visa. Talking about short stay like a couple days.
