Los Angeles Consulate - I've been a freelancer/remote worker for 3 years but I now only have one main long-term client I've been with since February 2023 (almost 2 years, we renew our contract every year as I usually increase my retainer rates). Has anyone had similar experience and/or will this timeframe impact my application in anyway?

If I changed to soft power such as education in a local university in Bangkok, but I couldn't confirm to stay for 6 months now.

Though there're 9 levels to complete the whole course, each level only lasts about 6 weeks and different levels can be done on different dates throughout the year as long as there're sufficient people in the class.

At the moment, I couldn't confirm is the course really suitable for me or not, hence I've paid for 1 level and booked a hotel for 3 months stay.

I'll consider to apply for the next level only after finishing the first level.

So if I changed my application to soft power, can I just provide 3 months stay in a hotel instead of renting an apartment for 6 months?

This is sort of from another post. But I'm on a marriage visa and was told the only time the verification of funds matters is two months prior to applying or reapplying for your marriage visa. Is this true?

Do DTV visa holders need to get re entry permits before they leave the country every time, just like if you’re on an ED visa?

Time to renew the non O retirement visa.

This is the list I've had for a while, wondering if there's been any changes other than the TM6 no longer being required ... ?

1. Passport with Non Immigrant O Visa inside.

2. Photocopies of:

•photo page of passport,

•page showing visa,

•page showing last entry date into Thailand.

3. TM.7 (extension of stay form completed and signed). Attach a passport photo and include phone number by your signature.

4. ~~Departure Card (TM.6) (make a photocopy)~~

5. 2 passport size photos

6. Proof of funds and or proof of income (letter from bank/embassy).

Bank letter cannot be more than 3 days old.

If using the lump sum application route, you'll need an updated photocopy of your bank book page that shows the balance.

Take your bank book along too.

7. Proof of address (copies of rental agreement, and utility bills (if you have them))

8. Application fee of ฿1,900 THB

*Sign all photocopies.

You have the option to renew your Thai retirement visa within 45 days of its expiry date. Nevertheless, it is generally advisable to submit your application between 3 and 4 weeks before the visa expires.

Hi I've made a mistake on marriage visa and dipped below 400k two weeks ago.

The agent, who is more a lawyer, said I need to leave when visa finishes (5th), without really giving me much info of what to do next.

They said 'as by immigration regulation, the 60- days Thai visit family can only be obtained only once' (which I did last year)and that I need to make sure I leave on a multi entry.

What are my options for re obtaining a visa via Thai embassy in a neighbouring country?
