Hi all, does anyone have the current list of required documents for Chaengwattana extension of stay renewals based on marriage to Thai husband? TIA!

Did anyone can open bank account with non-o spouse visa recently? (Married to a Thai )

On beginning of July i went to Bkk bank and Kasikorn bank branch in Phuket in order to open bank account for my husband. But the bank staff insisted they only accept non-o retirement visa or work permit. It’s really hassle now 😥

Thank you for every advice 🙏🏻

I'm trying to use the website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, California to apply for a 90 day Non-O retirement visa. I have questions (eg, why is there no field for middle names? Is this going to result in denial?) And the only way to contact this Consulate is with the Line app but the app link is broken..😵‍💫 Anyone else having these problems?

Sharing good news to encourage people who invest time, money and effort for DTV!

First time doing 90 day report on DTV - possible online?

I just did my 90 day report online at this website [members only] and afterwards it send me an email with the TM47 form with all my details.

I can see on the webite above it shows that my TM47 form is submitted but the status is pending. Does that mean I'm done or do I still have to go to immigration in person?

Below the email i received. Hoping i can skip going in person. Anyone done it online? Successfully?

There’s no sigils or stamps only signatures in my employment contract (remote worker) this is a standard by the country of origin of employment.

Does it need to be notarized or translated to evade rejection?

Just to address a common question here. Here's the response from the Thai authorities to this question.

"If your current passport with your visa has expired, you must carry both your old passport (containing the valid visa) and your new passport whenever you travel to Thailand. Immigration officers will refer to your visa on your old passport when processing your entry and stamp your new passport accordingly. In the event that you lose the old passport containing the visa, you will be required to apply for a new visa without exception. Please note that we are unable to transfer a visa from an old passport to a new one."

Is it possible to get a 90 day non o visa without showing proof of funds in a Thai bank. ?

Want to apply for Soft Power (Muay Thai) in Germany as a German citizen. Has anyone done that and got approved and can let me know what documents you've send in, how long it took and if the embassy had any additional requests?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a DTV visa in Vientiane (Laos). After my status changed to “Pending Approval,” I received an email with an interview appointment asking me to bring original documents and noting they may review my online banking.

Is this normal in Vientiane? How did it go for you in practice?

* Did PDF bank statements (3–6 months) + a current balance confirmation suffice, or did they actually ask you to log into your banking app?

* If you had to log in, was showing the balance and a few recent incoming payments enough—without scrolling through the full history?

* Anything else they asked about?

Context: I’m self-employed (sole proprietor), working 100% remotely (SEO, Google Ads, analytics, AI) for clients in EU. I’ve prepared:

• a self-employment statement + client confirmation letters

• CEIDG extract

• bank statements (several months) + invoices matching inflows

• payment confirmation and all originals

Thanks in advance for sharing experiences (no sensitive info needed).
