So I already have a 1 year lease on a condo while on my tourist visa. I am heading to Bali to Apply for DTV. What are the chances of being denied? Not let back in 🤔

Just completing my TDAC for entry back into Thailand, the departure date is not mandatory, has anybody had any issues leaving this blank?

I already have my DTV this is my first exit.

Hello. On August 22, I went to immigration with all the required documents to apply for a retirement visa. They stapled a note in my passport stating *“In the process of changing visa type”* with a date stamp of August 22, 2025.

My current tourist visa expires on Sunday, September 14. I went back to immigration today to ask whether I needed an extension in the meantime. Both agents I spoke with told me it was fine to return on Monday, September 15, even though my visa expires the day before. One agent simply pointed to the note in my passport and said there was no problem and nothing further to do.

Even so, I left feeling uneasy about the situation. I would greatly appreciate any advice or clarification. Thank you.

Thai cooking schools normally offer 6 to 12-month courses. On their pages, they always recommend 12-month courses for higher credibility in visa application.

Shall I opt for 6 or 12 months? With 6 months I could fail the visa application?

Anyone had any problems getting in to Thailand on visa exemption (many) while awaiting DTV is processing?

I'm currently staying in Thailand. I've already been there for over 100 days this year. now I'm planning to go to another country and apply for a DTV visa soon. Will my stay of over 100 days this year affect my DTV visa application? If so, I'll apply for a DTV visa next year.

Hello friends, I prepared everything for my Non-O visa (marriage) based on a handout I received from the ladies who sort the documents at the immigration office in Surathani, Samui. On the day I submitted my application, I spoke to an official who told me that I now have to use the eVisa portal, as the immigration office is no longer responsible... (how visa agents handle that?)

I converted my documents into PDF files and uploaded them to the eVisa portal, made the payment, and waited two weeks. Since my residential address is no longer in Germany but on Koh Samui since a few years already, a current photo and a certificate of residence were requested. A few hours after uploading, I received a rejection notice from the system without further explanation.

Question 1: Is there a contact person who can tell me the reason for the rejection? I selected the embassy in Munich for processing.

Question 2: I found different information on the internet about how long the funds (400k) must remain in my Thai bank account – 2 or 3 months?

Question 3: I will try again next week, but 8 days later I have to extend my current tourist visa by 30 days – is there a minimum validity period for the visa in order to apply? Otherwise, I may have to switch to a visit wife visa here.

Thank you very much for your help! Krap pom

Anybody have experiences with extending an O A visa at Nonthaburi?

Mine’s coming up and I’d rather avoid surprises.

Hi . I lived in Thailand a few years ago still have a savings , FD accounts with monies . Moved away for few years and now coming back . Is it possible to combine both these account and my uk account to show 800k?

Wise to Bangkok Bank showing as ‘DEP TRF FR E-CH’ instead of ‘FTT’ even after selecting “Funds For Long Term Stay”! WTF BBL thanks for once again making life difficult.
