I am in Thailand on a 90 day non-O (retirement) e-visa, which expires a month from now. Is it possible to extend it for another 90 days at the (Chiang Mai) immigration office, or will I need to leave the country and apply for another non-O e-visa from outside the country? Thanks.

Hi

For Thai retirement visa do you need both a Thai bank account showing deposit amount of a minimum of THB 800,000 And a

Monthly income of at least THB 65,000 or do you only need to meet 1 of these requirements? I've read conflicting guidelines online.

Thanks

Hello. I'm asking for advice. I applied for a DTV visa while was in Bulgaria. I arrived in Thailand with tourist visa for 60 days and two weeks later I saw that I was approved for a DTV visa as a business owner. Now I need to leave Thailand and enter on a DTV visa. Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Thank you very much for your help. I'm a little worried.😊

Let me know if you have questions.

Didn’t want to leave by air as done that months ago and didn’t question it but just asked where I go after I told them Cambodia then asked me where after that was surprised as I’m out Thailand but just told them UK and they let me in this was first ever time leaving and coming back next day this was day before the 60 day visa came to light I believe that was 14/15 July . Fast forward few month I go to satun border at Malaysia and was amazing process fast and efficient back in car with in 5 minutes and away home got 3 months now my 3 months runs out today, lastnight I leave Korat with Mrs get flight Phuket and do another border run to satun was bit skeptical as didn’t want any problems and thought might ask questions why stayed long (legit though) but got there today 7am check out Thailand stamped in and out of Malaysia and stamped 60 days (90 if extend ) and was back in car less 5 mins even driver was surprised how fast he gave me keys to van. If anyone looking to do same in future or want somewhere sos reliable never a problem and guaranteed then I would go there one best border run routes

I have a tourist visa. Can I buy a reentry stamp at Bkk airport so I can leave for a few days and come back without issues. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Hi, I have 4 year membership at a Muay Thai gym and have applied for the DTV visa with that. But I don’t think the gym is registered with sport authority of Thailand. Has anyone actually been rejected as I haven’t seen that yet?

Update: just a small glitch ..payment went through and just waiting for the evisa to HCM..not a waste of time really..reading responses from kind people...i hope we don't take for granted the time that other spend to respond to our posts..it is never a waste of time!

Hubby's not able to pay for vietnam visa using his cc...anyone with the same issue?

Hello everyone,

I’m probably overthinking… which is why I’d like to ask here:

What exactly needs to be specified under Place of Issue regarding the passport? The city (Cologne) or the name of the authority (City of Cologne)?

Thank you very much!

Hi! Anyone have success at HCMC this week?

UPDATE: changed to ‘pending approval’ late last night - note that this update doesn’t get sent by email. Fingers crossed for Monday - I’ll keep you updated and share my experience 🤞🏼

My partner and I applied Sunday evening, Tuesday had a document request that we both submitted within 2 hours and the. Have had no update since..

I’m aware that Thursday was a holiday so that pushes the 5 working days to EOD Monday.

Anyone else in a similar situation? Seems odd to not have had any update from the document being submitted ..

And from other posts it doesn’t seem like a document request resets the 5 days (lots of people get approved within a couple of hours of a document request)

Thanks!
