I need some advice my old job is cancelling my visa and work permit tomorrow and I've booked a flight and hotel for that night.

My question is my old hr lady is saying she doesn't need my work permit or passport to cancel them both. Is this correct? I would hate to have her misunderstanding cost me.

I got a quote from an agent of 70,000 Baht to help me with the retirement visa process. Is this a fair price? Could anybody recommend a trusted agent if this quote is too high? Seems a bit high but I have no idea if I’m right. Thanking you in advance!

On my last post I forgot to mention I need a taxi company from Pattaya who covers Suvarnabhumi airport to take me to Bang Saray.

Email address would be fine.

I’m here on a 60 day visa on arrival that is about to expire.

If I exit Thailand and come back a few days later will I get another 60 days? Can I keep doing that over and over ?

What other options do I have if I want to stay here long term?

Hello! Question about 90 days report. My first 90 days will be March 10, I leave Thailand on March 16 for a week trip. After that I plan to come back and stay more than 90 days, I also plan to do a 90-day report and get a resident certificate => come to the immigration office.

Do I have to do TM47 now if I plan to leave country soon? Do they check TM47 for previous entries in the immigration office and will there be problems in the future if I don’t do it now?

I live in Bangkok, there are long queues in immigration office. I don’t understand if it’s worth wasting my time

Just wanted to share my story: My wife and I both arrived on Feb 2nd here in Cambodia. Her application was submitted on Feb 3rd. It was submitted under ' Soft Power.' She is the primary and I'm being sponsored by her. Her approval was on Feb. 18th at which time my application was submitted.

The Primary has to be approved before the spouses can be submitted. I just received my approval today March 5th. I just wanted you to know if you are getting approved as a couple give yourself at least a month if it is over here in Cambodia. I talked to a Visa agent here and they said Cambodia is swamped with so many applications and they are taking longer to process. Good luck to everyone.

I am going to apply for a non immigrant OA retirement visa in Thailand. Doing research it say you need to deposit 800k baht or show passive income of 65k baht a month? It that right? Is it one or the other? How difficult is it to apply yourself in person at the immigration without an agent? Would I need to deposit money before applying? Which from what I am reading hard to open a bank account without proof of residency. Any advise what steps to take in chronological order for a smooth process would be greatly appreciated. If you are required to deposit 800k in bank, can that money be used to pay rent or medical? Does the 90 day reporting ask questions in regard to money left in the Thai bank?

Hi Guys,

Such a great cooking class in Chiang Mai! Highly recommend for DTV! Lyn is so kind, flexible, and can cater to any skill level. I try to take cooking classes in every new country I visit (Mexico, Morocco etc) and I have learned more here than any of the others. 10/10

Hi with the DTV am applying soft power and have 9 months worth of classes do I still have to put the return home date as 180 days from entry ? Thanks
