Hi everyone! 👋

I recently got married to my Thai husband here in Thailand 🇹🇭 (we registered our marriage at an amphur). After that, I flew back to Singapore for about ten days, and now I’ve just flown back to Thailand.

As a Singapore passport holder, I’m here on a visa-exempt 60-day stay, so I still have a good amount of days left on my current entry.

Does anyone know if I can start the marriage visa process directly at the Krabi office while I’m on this 60-day stay? Or do I still need to leave and apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa from Singapore first?

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who’s gone through this recently, especially other foreign wives of Thai husbands. 🙏💛 Thank you

90-days Report

Our first time, we went to immigration office super fast and easy. Just show our passports, visa and house rent contract .

I own and live in a flat in Phuket and have a 5-year DTV visa, but I'm spending this month in Indonesia. I have just arrived in Yogyakarta and straightaway realized that my passport will expire in less than 6 months (5 months and a week) by the time I set to return, which is not a problem for leaving Indonesia, but might present a problem for reentry in the Kingdom, and most countries, really.

I sent an email to my Embassy, which I have to visit anyway to pick up my renewed ID card - a requirement to renew my passport -, and asked for a letter explaining that I'm going to Bangkok on a specific date for the very purpose of renewing my passport.

Is this the right procedure? Has anyone been in a similar situation with a passport under 6 months when they arrived in another country and cannot book a ticket to come back? Thank you.

What are the documents required for converting Non-B visa to marriage visa?Thank you

Has anybody applied for EVisa from Sydney - Australia consulate?

How long does it take?

Thanks

I have a UK passport but will be applying for my DTV from Dubai. Do I need a flight from UK to submit with my application if I submit it to UK embassy for processing?

DTV question. If a company based in Japan were to hire me to attend events in SE Asia on their behalf, including public appearances in Bangkok, would this be allowed as per DTV guidelines?

I find myself in a stressed situation atm. I’m a freelancer and working remotely. I need to open a bank account either in Thailand or somewhere else to get paid and to be able to pay for my expenses.

I don’t know where to open? I can’t open in my home country since I’m not resident there anymore and have been aboard for so long time.

I have only Revolut personal account and I don’t know if I should receive or transfer money there becuase I’ve heard people got flagged and got their account locked.

Ah God this is not fun at all. 😞

Visa update from ed to DTV in KTB.

Has anyone changed to new phone and need to go to bank (Krungthai bank ) to update the visa status from ed to dtv ? I'm afraid that can cause a failure to continue used of the bank acc bcos of dtv visa changed.

Hi! I’m planning to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), Soft Power – Muay Thai, while living in Pattaya. Could anyone who has actually applied via Pattaya gyms share your experience?

• Which gyms did you use? (name + location + manager contact)

• What package length worked for the visa: 6 or 9 months? Is 12 months worth it?

• Price: I’m seeing around 35–40k THB for 6–9 months — does that match your experience?

• Did the gym provide a full visa pack: Acceptance letter on letterhead + DBD (company registration) + SAT/Office of the Boxing Sport certificate + invoice? Will they email the letter directly to the consulate if requested?

• After approval, did they require attendance, or was enrollment/payment enough in practice?

• Any refusals/refunds? What were the refund terms?

• Which consulate did you use (HCMC, Vietnam or elsewhere), and did everything go smoothly?

• How long is the acceptance letter valid (can you defer the start if timing shifts)?

Would really appreciate short reports including: submission/approval dates, gym, price, package length, consulate, and whether you attended classes. Thanks!
