Just heard the Thai government are not changing the entry stamp from 60 to 30 days, as due to the low tourist situation ,they don't want to rock the boat

Hi all, my wife (Chinese citizen) and I (Australian citizen) are thinking of retiring to Thailand. I am 60 and neither of us are planning on working, and the income and deposit requirements arent an issue. I see that the O-X visa is for 5+5 years, what happens after the ten years? Can we reapply or do we have to leave? Cheers and TIA, Peter.

Can you apply for a marriage visa from outside the country, and if so, how do you obtain the necessary bank statement (etc.) without being there in person?

Hi everyone!

I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times, but I can never seem to successfully find old posts from the group page.. 🙏🏽

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a reputable Thai cooking school/s in BKK area that have a good track record for having DTV visas go through successfully? And also any visa company recommendations that could help with the visa process if the school wasn't able to help with that part? I've read that Issa Compass seems to have a good track record for getting the DTVs to go through, so they seem trustworthy.. I think there are others that people have had good luck with also?

Also, if anyone has recommendations of places to apply from that seem to go smoothly?

I think Hanoi and Jakarta seems to be smooth for a lot of folks, but there seems to be other recommended places as well, and also places to avoid..

Thank you so much to everyone in this group for any help you might be able to provide.. I learn a lot from you guys.. 🙏🏽

I'm in the states now, have US passport, but will be in Thailand beginning late August, so can apply from anywhere outside Thailand that anyone recommends..

Thank you in advance to everyone! 🙏🏽🦋

If you hold a DVT visa but are now legally married to a Thai national, can you now open a bank account with the Marriage Certificate? If yes, which banks will open an account?

I have to do my visa run June 12 but it’s better for a number of reasons for me to leave back home to US on the 20th. That means I would overstay by 8 days. But doing a visa run on the 12gh just to leave on the 20th would suck would it be so bad to overstay? I reaaalllly don’t want to overstay

Question: Just got my DTV Approved Da Nang (Ho Chi Minh Consulate.) Do I have to fly from Vietnam to Thailand to get my visa document? Or can I go to a neighbouring country for a trip and then from there (i.e Cambodia or Laos) and fly to Thailand? Basically, do I have to pass direct from Vietnam to Thailand to get the DTV visa document, or is it just put in my passport whenever I enter Thailand again from anywhere? It may be a silly question…I just wasn’t sure whether it had to be from Vietnam since it was processed by Ho Chi Minh Consulate…? Thanks!!!
