Seeking advice for my Son who is currently stopped at immigration inside the Chiang Mai airport after a border run.

Immigration said he’s come and gone to many times and they won’t allow him back in to get his belongings from Lanna Muay Thai, where he’s been training. They made him buy a flight back to Malaysia.

How do I get my son back to Chiang Mai, Thailand? He has to get his stuff and use his return flight home.

Any advice helps.

VISA FROM THE NETHERLANDS:

We are german living in the Netherlands travelling for 71 days. Both retired. My income is enough to apply for the non-immigrant O visa. My husband doesn't fulfil the requirements.

So is my income enough for us both or which options do we have? We have already booked our return flight for day 71.

Hi. When I visit Thailand I stay with my g/f in her rented condo near Rangsit. I'm never usually there for more than 2 months at a time, a few times a year.

In the past, when I had to apply for a 60 day visa, (from UK) I completed a TM30 myself with all of her details etc & took to the local Immigration Office. Only on one occasion did the Officer take any action & stamped the receipt part of TM30 & returned to me. On the 2nd occasion, I did the same thing but was told by a different official that TM 30 was NOT required. When I queried this, she said if questioned, just to say the Immigration Officer has stated "Not Required."

I'm sure I'm obliged to compete. Anyone else had to deal with this type of situation where partner is in rented accommodation? Thanks.

DTV granted in Vientiane, Laos.

Self employed private tutor.

In relation to employment certificate:

I provided my tax returns to confirm my self employed status.

I put "self" down as guarantor.

I also provided a copy of my Vientiane hotel booking + a photocopy of my Laos entry stamp on my passport.

Back Statements: 5 months.

My passport Data page.

I had a copy of my Thai condo rental agreement on hand, but did not have to produce it.

I arrived around 8:40am on Thursday morning, for the 9am open doors.

Took less than 5 mins to hand in my documents.

Was told to call back on Tuesday at 1:30pm to collect. Again, this took about 5mins.

🙏

Has anyone had the experience where they got the DTV on their new passport but are still using their old passport as it still has space. What was the procedure when arriving in Thailand?

Hopefully this post gets approved.

I am dealing with a gym that tells me they can accept my application and proof of funds and forward it to the Foreign Department in Thailand and they approve and forward to my embassy. And then I suppose I go to embassy for a stamp in my passport ? Sounds like they are acting as an agent ?
