Hi guys im a 55 yr young aussie wanting to spend most of my time in thailand but have no idea how to go about long term ( currently doing 30/ 40 days at a time)

Whats the best visa and where do i go to get it

I have a question regarding my Non-O marriage visa application. I submitted it last week and I just got an email from The consulate asking for an “INVITATION LETTER” from my immediate Thai family, ie spouse, mother in law, whatever. So has anyone heard of this invitation letter and if so what is the best way to have my wife write it so it will be accepted by them? Thanks in advance! 🙏🙏🙏

Quick question about potential problems w/criminal background checks, and getting approved for a Thai Retirement Visa. Here’s the situation: this person (let’s call him Joe) had a Federal, not US state, drug felony conviction about 40 years ago. The offense was a non-violent one, he served his time, and has had a spotless record since. Joe’s been very successful at business and would love to retire to Thailand. (He'd have no problem paying for an Elite visa if needed)

And no, his record cannot be expunged or pardoned. Its permanent.

Is there anyone here with either 1) direct experience in this matter or 2) is a real Visa professional? Traveling there on a regular tourist visa does not appear to be a problem but its hard to get answers on residency.

Hello’s, when applying for an O- A visa from the US online , do I necessarily have to provide insurance proof and if so how do I get a Thai insurance without a knon address ( yet ). Or do I just come on a tourist and take care of the conversion once I get ther

Thanks for the helpful comments.

I eventually found the UK passport information online.

For Thailand the extra months carry over.

For travel in Eu its 10 years from date of issue.

It may seem like a stupid question......but....when does my passport finish for Travel to Thailand.

I saw something on the news a few weeks ago about expiry dates.

I'm sure it mentioned that uk passports were now only valid for 10 years on date of issue.

However I'm not sure if that was just to go to EU.

I'm aware that I need to have 6 months left when I travel, but not sure now if my passport expires July 26 or April 27.

Hi, everybody! Iam holding a Non-O visa and about to apply to entend it as a one year retirement visa. What documents do I need for that? I was only informed to copy my booking of ticket leaving Thailand when I last visited immigration office in Jomtien. Do I need to go through all the procedures as I applied for the Non-O with all the documents from the landlord? or what else? Thank you all in advance!

Hi needed advise on visa for Thailand , which reliable agency can i go through , I’m from India and just turned 50 , would like to spend 6-8 months in bangkok and also keep myself busy there exploring my culinary skills

Hi everyone, for those applying for the DTV visa from Hanoi,Vietnam — has anyone received their approval in the past few days?

I submitted my application on March 19th, was asked to provide additional documents on March 20th, and my status changed to “Pending Approval” on March 21st. But there’s been no update since then.

From what I’ve seen before, most people got their visa approved within about 5 working days, so i just want to ask the situation…thanks

So I was having a couple of issues in regards to identity and the requested document order time. They requested a birth certificate and it was going to take up to 4 weeks for me to get one.

I sent in a word file explaining my situation under the requested birth certificate and asked if they can extend my application process an extra few weeks and instead they have told me to come in for an interview.

If I go for the interview and I don’t have this, is it going to be an issue? Surely they wouldn’t request an interview without some other option of proof of identity?
