Hello,

Are there any Mexican nationals who have traveled to Thailand recently who can share their experience with getting a visa upon arrival? Is it required…I’m seeing different things online.

For the DTV paperwork, under the work contract - compensation, would you recommend having a fixed salary put in, or would a "paid on a monthly project basis" clause work too. Thanks

As eventually all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world will be using the Thai e-Visa for accepting visa applications and issuing Thai e-Visa's, some of the Frequently Asked Questions are succinctly answered by the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia who started with Thai e-Visa today (26 November 2024):

1.) you have to physically be in the country of where the Thai Embassy/Consulate is located to apply for a Thai e-Visa;

2.) you will not be making any appointments to visit any Thai Embassy/Consulate who issue Thai e-Visa;

3.) it's just best to physically print out the PDF of your Thai e-Visa and have it with your passport (yes, many have reported that they just showed the image of the Thai e-Visa PDF on their mobile cell phone, or the Thai e-Visa should be in Thai immigration's database system, etc. etc.): just print out the Thai e-Visa PDF!

4.) if there is an error, typo, incorrect spelling, etc., then the Thai e-Visa application can be rejected and no correction will most likely be done to rectify and No Refund!

5.) Thai e-Visa processing times are longer than previously in-person visa applications issuing Thai visa stickers....that may shorten in the future, but then again, it may not....

I am currently a US passport holder in Thailand I arrived on a 90 day type O. Visa, I am wondering, can I extend that while I am in Thailand or do I have to leave and come back in to get 60 more days? It is single entry visa.

Hi

Relating to your spouse who may not be 50 and they have to apply for 2: 20. Request for extension of stay - In the case of being a family of an alien who has been granted permission to temporarily reside in the Kingdom.

There is no information regarding when she turns 50 regarding this. If I am obtaining my 1 year extension based on retirement can she continue to request this extension based on the fact she is my spouse.

Only age requirements I can see relate to children not being over 20 and that the father or mother must be over 50.
