If I arrive in Thailand without applying for any kind of visa can I extend my 30 days to 60?

Arriving from the UK.

Thanks in advance

65k baht deposit…… for the people using this method instead of the 800k baht. How are you transferring the 65k per month? I have heard if I use Wise, the ACH may not be accepted as proof the funds came from outside of Thailand. Are you using wire transfers every month?

Hello guys, I want to ask few questions.

Question 1:

Has anyone applied for a DTV Dependent Visa in Vientiane in August and had an in-person interview?

Question 2:

If you had a dependent visa interview, how did you show mobile banking proof when the financial support is via sponsor letter?

Did anyone can open bank account with non-o spouse visa recently? (Married to a Thai )

On beginning of July i went to Bkk bank and Kasikorn bank branch in Phuket in order to open bank account for my husband. But the bank staff insisted they only accept non-o retirement visa or work permit. It’s really hassle now 😥

Thank you for every advice 🙏🏻

I'm trying to use the website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, California to apply for a 90 day Non-O retirement visa. I have questions (eg, why is there no field for middle names? Is this going to result in denial?) And the only way to contact this Consulate is with the Line app but the app link is broken..😵‍💫 Anyone else having these problems?

First time doing 90 day report on DTV - possible online?

I just did my 90 day report online at this website [members only] and afterwards it send me an email with the TM47 form with all my details.

I can see on the webite above it shows that my TM47 form is submitted but the status is pending. Does that mean I'm done or do I still have to go to immigration in person?

Below the email i received. Hoping i can skip going in person. Anyone done it online? Successfully?

There’s no sigils or stamps only signatures in my employment contract (remote worker) this is a standard by the country of origin of employment.

Does it need to be notarized or translated to evade rejection?
