Flying out of the country and returning on the same day for 6 months extension, is it possible? Or is it risky to do?

Would staying 1 night and flying back the next day be safer? Anyone with experience that flew back same day did you have any troubles? Thank you

I was approved for my DTV on soft power in May. The course I used to qualify is 'Arun Thai Cooking'. They worked with me and my agent to make the process smooth. Since starting the class, I've already cooked multiple authentic Thai dishes. I highly recommend checking them out if you are interested in learning about the Thai Cooking culture on your DTV!

Does the address registered with TDAC need to match the address provided for my 30-day extension? The immigration office requires the house master to complete a notification of residence form for foreign nationals, but I have recently moved to a relative's house.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding where to upload additional documents. Since the provided fields are designated for specific documents, where can I add extra files such as my condo contract in Bangkok, cover letter, CV, payslips, proof of self-employment registration, salary transaction statements, health insurance documents, and similar paperwork?

i know I can merge files together, but i would like to be sure I upload them in the correct field.

I hope someone can help clarify this.

Thank you!

I need to do my 90-day report and also transfer stamps to a new passport (non o). I'll do them on the same day at immigration.

Which one needs to be done first or does it even matter?

Is there some consensus on how long funds need to have been seasoned when applying with Jakarta? And does the account need to have any specific activity to be accepted, like daily expenses or regular deposits? Was anyone ever rejected with Jakarta that actually had 500k THB in their account as ending balance?

I'm in Bangkok with a 3 month Non-O visa wanting to extend for retirement. I was getting my documents together and then checked the web and there is no mention of proof of condo rental or health insurance. What am I missing here?
