Hi all, went to the immigration to apply for my 30 extension with all the paperwork required, when I go there they said that they needed a blue card from my Airbnb host and a photo copy of his passport, has this happen to anyone else ? they did say it’s the new law.

Advice needed please.

I want to get a yellow book and a pink card. I am looking at applying for permanent residency next year and am informed that having a yellow book makes the process easier.

Background: I am married to a Thai national and have been living and working in Thailand for two years. I have done my tax returns.

My understanding of applying for the yellow book from my local amphur where I enquired about the yellow book is that I need a translated and mfa certified copy of my passport.

I do not have time to travel to Bangkok to get this done so approached a legal firm who informed me that I must travel to the British embassy in Bangkok to get the passport certified first, tgen translated into Thai and then certified by MFA but online it says only a translated copy of my passport with MFA certification.

If I have to travel to the British embassy it’ll be some time before I can do that .

My question which is the correct way to do this and is there an agent who can do this so I don’t have to travel to Bangkok

Hey, my 90-day mark on my DTV visa is coming up, so I need to do my 90-day report. I heard the first one has to be in person. Can I send a visa agent to handle it for me? Also, I need a certificate of residency to convert my international driver’s license. Any recommendations for reliable agents in Bangkok? Thanks!

Would like to extend my thanks to the group . I am mainly a reader of postings and really not a poster but after reading so much on the banking issue I thought I'll post about my experience today in opening a account with KBank in prachuap khiri khan.

I mainly went there for info on what they required in way of documents to open account. Had a lady greet me when I entered the bank told her I was looking at opening a account. From there she took charge luckily I had the required documents on me.

Passport

Visa non o type

Residential lease

Within a half hour walk out with new account, card and passbook supplied and with online banking setup in there app .

I had my thai girlfriend with me that help in translation which proved to be very helpful

Overall couldn't of asked for better service and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a bank account

Cheers

I am applying for a NON-IMMIGRATION TYPE O RETIREMENT VISA from the UK and it asks to show income of 65000 a month for 3 months OR a current balance of 800000. If I apply using the current balance route how long would the 800000 have to have been in your account for ?

Roughly how many days does it normally take before most people are finding out if their DTV application has been approved or rejected?

Hi. Is it possible to cancel your DTV application?

I applied in July but they asked for a lot of other documents I couldn’t or didn’t want to submit so I left it as it was but it’s still pending and waiting for the documents in the portal. Now I want to try and reapply but with mui thai DTV but I can’t do that if it’s still pending. I have been told that after about 45 days they automatically reject your application but I’m wondering if there is an option to cancel it.

Or has anyone had their DTV rejected and then tried to reapply and got it with mui thai? I applied from Vietnam. Any info or leads would be super helpful on this! Thanks!
