Hello my name is andre, i have been planning on moving to thailand for the past couple years and I think it's finally time to take the leap. Would I be able to take six months to a year of thai language classes out in town underneath the education visa and then leave the school once i'm completed with the program to then attend school at chulalong? Im a veteran and would like to use my gi bill. In my head, i would be underneath a student visa, but they would just have to change the details underneath my file.When it came for immigration. Or would they look at it like i'm applying for a second student visa... And start putting up a fuss and start scrutinizing and asking questions, regardless, they'll ask questions. Does anybody here know anyone or anything about the possibilities of approval for this visa strategy.

Hi guys, my partner and I are considering coming to Thailand long term. I’m considering a DTV for a Freelancer/Remote Worker and meet the criteria. She is also a freelancer but doesn’t have enough saved to apply for this visa. Wondering if it’s possible if I can add her to my application, even though we aren’t married?

Asking for 2 healthy 80 year olds....is the retirement visa the best option? And regarding the application from their home country...do they need to show international health insurance? They will always have travel insurance. Back and forth every year. I know they dont need to show proof of health insurance if they apply from within Thailand.

Hey group, I had a question regarding the Educational Visas

I have been hearing rumors That Chiang Mai Immigration, put a temporary hold on new in-country education visa applications. No reason nor a deadline has been given in this update. I was told it was Many schools, including language and boxing schools.

Is this true? Or dos that just applies for certain countries that have been flagged.

I am just preparing for my first 1 year non o retirement visa/permit to stay/ multi entry visa extension.I am unsure about whether you need to actually book a return flight or not. They ask for intended arrival and departure dates on the multi entry form. Thanks

I have a retirement visa and re entry stamp in my passport but I’m seeing conflicting information about if I need to complete an ETA electronic travel authorisation or a digital entry permit. I’m not even sure if these are the same thing. Can someone who has traveled back to the kingdom please advise me. I’m traveling on a British passport.

I waited too long to apply for a retirement visa and understand that I will have to return to my country (USA) to do that. How long does the application process take? If I apply from there can I use an international bank there to meet the 800,000 Bhat requirement?

Also. Anyone here use UOB?
