Hey everybody, I want to ask if somebody has exited Thailand during their 6 month stay and when they come back? for example I entered in December and my stamp is until June. now, if I go for Cambodia trip for two weeks and come back, do they put a new stamp restarting a new six month? I don't think they would but want to confirm it.

Hello thanks for any help

We are waiting for our marriage documents to arrive any day now Then we will marry and I will get the appropriate marriage Visa. My problem is my 60 days and now my 30 day extension is up on March 6. I've did this before in the past with no problems. That was before the new E-Visa. Crossing into Laos and staying the night. How hard is it and what's the procedure to receive the new Visa

I'm American and my soon to be wife is Thai

Hello. I am interested in the Thailand retirement visa, I know the details, it just seems a bit complicated and now it is also getting quite difficult to open bank accounts. I am considering getting a Cambodia retirement visa for a year, and after I open it, I can get a bank account quite easily. I may do this and then try to get the Thailand retirement visa when things get a bit easier. I am wondering if I might have difficulty getting a Thai retirement visa if I also have a similar one in my passport from Cambodia. Might this raise eyebrows from Thai immigration staff? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

When submitting applications for DTV soft power in HCMC, has the embassy ever requested applicants to provide payslips and bank statements?

Hello everyone, I am new here and I have a question relating to DTV visa.

One of the possibilities to get this Visa is a participation on a soft power activities ,

such as Muay Thai courses, Thai cooking classes, sports training, medical treatment, seminars or music festivals.

My question is:

what is a participation on medical treatment? Does this mean you get the medical treatment or you learn that medical treatment?

I am confused because in all other activities like Muay Thai courses, Thai cooking classes, sports training you will act as a learner.

I am thankful for any clarification.

Thank you

Or does it have to be from a brick-and-mortar traditional bank like Bank of China, Bank of America etc?

I could not get any information by phone because the number I called for Samut Prakan Immigration office was set in automatic menu loop until it eventually hangs up. so I went there today to get it. My 1 year extension expires at end of April and I have to back to the US at end of March to take care of a few things. I knew that most offered the extension at 30 days before expiration. And few at 45 days before. FYI , Samut Prakan immigration allows extensions 45 days before expiration. Just wanted that info out there for anyone to use it.
