I have a question regarding changing my visa-exempt stamp to Non O based on marriage. Has anyone had experience doing this within Thailand?

I have read mixed reviews on this, but it seems like this can be done at Chaeng Wattana.

I meet the requirements on documentation, but have also read that it’s not as plain sailing as it seems and can just be down to officer desecration on the day πŸ€”

I'm new to this group, so sorry if this a frequently asked question.

I'm a UK national, 60 years old , living in Thailand for 9 years already, on the standard retirement visa.

My parents, both UK nationals, , 83 & 84 years old, want to come and live with me. They would return to Europe a couple of times a year, but would be essentially living here, at my house, say 10 months each year.

Do they each need to apply for a retirement visa independently of each other, meaning 800k each in 2 separate bank accounts, or is there an option for attaching one as the spouse of the other to a single retirement visa.

Or are there other options available, like a family visa, or something similar.

Thanks for any/all feedback.

Hello guys! I have a couple of question please. I just got my DTV approved 2 hours ago

1. Can I go to thailand as soon as tomorrow?

2. Do I need a flight tick out of thailand?

3. Do I need to print the pdf file with my DTV? or it's enough to show it on my phone?

Thanks!

Hello,

I have a bit of an odd situation. I have a DTV, and am living with my long-term GF from Europe who doesn't have. Immigration has become more strict and having doubts she'll be let back in when we go back.

We can't do dependent DTV because Thailand doesn't recognise common law marriage.

However it just so happens we'll be travelling to Taiwan in a couple of days, and I've just emailed their embassy. The embassy says we can apply through the E-Visa Portal, and we have to comply with the requirements set out on their embassy website.

The thing is, on their embassy website, it doesn't specify the need to hold 500k Thai Baht for 3 months, just that you have 500k Thai Baht in the Account and can prove it.

*"Financial evidence: amount of no less than 500,000 THB OR equivalent amount in foreign currency e.g. bank statements OR sponsorship letter covering living expenses."*

[[members only])

In that case, I'm pondering a few things and would appreciate any insight or help into any of the points.

1) Could I just transfer her like 20k EUR from my account a couple of days before, and would that suffice? No need for 3 month proof when reading their site...

2) If the visa application was taking too long, could we cancel it before they've completed their review? We only have a set amount of days in Taiwan, and we're due back to Thailand for a wedding on the 3rd of Dec. All flights and accommodation booked, so I dont want to lose it.

DTV 90-day renewal for dependents?

Hi there, I am the primary DTV holder, and my wife and daughter are my dependent DTV holders. We entered the Kingdom in August 29 which makes our 90-day check-in due next week.

However, I left for a 1-week work trip last month and arrived back in Thailand on October 27. They stayed in Thailand.

Do I still have to process my wife and daughter's 90-day check-in, and if yes β€” does it have to be in person? Thank you kap πŸ™πŸΌ

I just consulted a dtv visa agency and they said dtv for chinese citizens are very strict, and only Laos is the option. And the 500k baht for 3 months is non negotiable. Do we have chinese member here can give some advise?

Hello. I have a question about TM30form. My landlord put the wrong date on the check in date and for some reasons, she is saying she cannot resubmit the form. (I read online, you can resubmit the form with corrected date. This is my first time coming to Thailand, so I don't know) She supposedly called the immigration office and asked if she can resubmit the form and if I'll have problem with the 90 days report if the date is wrong. She told me that I'll have no problem. Is this correct? Or I'm going to have problem?
