I have been asked to potentially distribute/sell an imported product into Thailand. I know I can't just hit the streets and knock on doors. What is the best legal way in which I can do this so that I can be directly involved (either managing or direct selling) and get paid for operating this business?

Has anyone had experience applying for a Thai E-Visa through the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh?

I submitted my documents and made the payment on 17 June, and the status has been showing “Pending Approval” since then. I haven’t received any updates, and I’m not sure how long the process usually takes.

Unfortunately, there’s no clear contact number, and I haven’t been able to reach them by email either.

If anyone has gone through this process and has advice on what I can do or how long it typically takes, I’d really appreciate your help. 🙏

Hello

When entering the country visa-free with AirAsia, do I need to show my departure ticket?

Thank you

Has anyone else not been able to fill out the Thailand address section of the electronic arrival card? The fields are there but it will not let me fill them in.

Hello, my Name is Dieter and I‘m from Austria. I intend to work in Thailand for my Italian company as freelancer with a DTV visa, long term. My First question is: can I open a bank account in the future? And what requirements do I need to meet? Second: can I make a change-of-visa to a Non-Immigrant Type O visa some day?Especially since a bank account seems to be a requirement for the Type O visa.

Any insights or experiences?

I will be coming to Thailand with either a TR 60 day visa or just a 60 day exemption if the TR expires.

My question is since I already have a Thai bank account and will season it for two months, can I just do the the retirement non-o 1 year visa at immigration or do I need to do two steps?

Get the 90 day non-o visa here or there, then have to get the 1 year extension. Seems that I can just skip the 90 day visa. Thanks

My brain hurts!

I applied for a non B visa online while in Cambodia on June 9. I am still stuck on pending approval, and my flight is on June 29. Calling the embassy has been no help so far.

Is it an option for me to go to Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for my non B to be approved and then go back to Cambodia and re-enter? Or is my only option to postpone my flight?

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

USE THE CORRECT TM7 FORM !!

There are reports today that people are being turned back on their extension application because they have the wrong version of the TM7 application for extension printed.

Immigrations changed that form a GOOD while ago, the old one used to have the price of the extension, the new one doesn't. The old one was a word document (dot doc) the new one is only available as PDF.

The correct form for application for extension is on the main immigration website (immigration.go.th) and the bangkok immigration website (bangkok.immigration.go.th) too

Here's the tiny URL link to the correct PDF of the TM7

[members only]

You want to print it on one piece of paper front to back & as always if you fill it out in ink you want to use BLUE ink not black

Obviously the X'd out image is the WRONG form :P

Weighing up options here, looking at an Elite Privilege Access visa or a LTR Wealthy Pensioner Visa(you don’t have to be that wealthy really). Also do you have to use an agent for the Elite Visa? If so any recommendations and rough costings, thanks in advance. Leaving on 6 July BTW. From Oz
