For my retirement visa extension, I was asked to provide a list of all the places I've lived in the last 12 months along with lease agreements and evidence of rent payments. Is this normal procedure now or is it because I'm applying in a different province than last year. I bounced around temporary places quite a bit and this won't be easy.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get a new US passport? My retirement visa extension is due in 24 days and I'm worried I won't have a new passport in time.

Hi, I have a question about the 90-day reporting for the DTV visa. Does the countdown start from the date of entry into Thailand or from the visa issue date?

I’ve not even started applying yet, I’m just looking for some help, I’m based in UK and we have the money in the account to demonstrate the 500k baht, do they focus more on the money or the job element on the application?

90 days report discoveries that cost me 4,000 baht and many wasted hours:

1. Even if you have yearly rental contract and the owner filled up TM.30 when you moved with expire date all the way to the next 12 months IF you get out of the country it’s not valid anymore. Every time you enter Thailand you need to do TM.30 address report again. Ignore that the existing TM.30 “check out date: 30.12.2025” - they don’t accept it and treat as non existent.

The punishment: 1600 baht and need to bring them copies of full rental contract + id of owner + house book.

(collecting rent documents is much bigger punishment).

2. You can do the 90 days report 14 days before the date and 7 days after. Each late day is 500 baht, maximum 2000 baht.

If you will come on the 8th day they treat it as you late 8 days and not 1 days late. Even if you have Documentation of ER stay due to a car accident on these weeks - won’t help. Punishment: 2000 baht, very long queue to pay it and airport officers asking extra questions due to fine stamp on the passport.

In short: every time you fly into Thailand, you need to ask for TM30 even if you’re on yearly contact and even if you left Thailand only for 24 hours. Don’t wait for last moment to do the 90 days report, you never know maybe a pickup truck will crash into you in the exact day you planned to do the report.

Yikes 😬

Good afternoon. I came to Laos to get a 90 non-o visa because Nong Khai imm. doesn't do them. I fill out the paperwork with my 900k baht bank certificate from Krungthhai as proof of funds. They write back that they want 3 months of bank statements, which I can't obtain nor have I had the money in there 3 months. If this goes further south, do all Asian embassies need the 3 month proof of funds or is there somewhere I can go with my bank certificate being enough? TIA for any thoughts.
