I’m married to a Thai woman and I’m here on a 90 day non O visa and have set up a bank account and deposited 900,000 baht so more than the 400,000 baht requirement. I still have to wait until June 13th before this will become seasoned. What other documents will be required to apply myself for the 1 year marriage visa extension. Is it as listed below 👇

Gather all the necessary documents for the extension, including:

Application form T.M. 7 (available at the Immigration Office).

Passport and a copy of your passport.

Marriage certificate and copies.

Proof of income or financial stability (e.g., bank statements showing 400,000 THB or a monthly income of 40,000 THB).

Copy of your Thai spouse's ID card and house registration papers (Tabian Baan).

Photos of you and your spouse together, including inside and outside of your residence.

A map showing your address in Thailand.

Also when my money reaches seasoning on the 13th June I’m a little concerned about the length of time it takes to process? As my 90 day visa will expire on the 7th July. What do I do if I have not received notification that it’s been approved by then. Do I over stay and pay fine whilst I wait or go and spend some time in laos and come back on a tourist visa of which I believe I will only be allowed to stay for 50 days as I’ve been here twice this year now and will have spent 130 days here on my 2 trips in total.

Any accurate information would be greatly appreciated, sorry it’s long winded.

I applied for a DTV remote worker visa in Tokyo with a US passport, with all the required documents and prerequisites, and was given a multiple entry tourist visa instead, valid for six months. Do I have to wait for the METV to expire before applying again for the DTV soft power through vietnam?

DTV visa - workation, approved in Taipei!

Sharing my experience as this group has been super useful!

I'm Spanish, applied for DTV workation in Taipei on the 30th April with:

- employment contract

- past 6 months salary

- bank statement showing 500k

- passport copy and ID picture

- Airbnb in Taipei

4hours later I've submitted the application I got a request to provide:

- certificate of arrival in Taipei from national agency

- company registration certificate (company is from Europe)

So the following day, I went to the national agency in person, got the certificate of arrival within 30mins, paid €3 then submitted it with company certificate online.

24hours later I've received a request for interview mid-May, so 15days later that my application.

I've emailed Taipei agency asking for another date (sooner) and after few days of waiting ... they've agreed to interview me on the 9th May. (You can't call them online email)

I've showed up at the Taipei Thai embassy with all the documents printed (same as those submitted online - printing is mandatory), waited for 45minutes, then got interviewed for 10minutes about the business of my employer (SaaS) and my role.

2hours later I've received the approval via email.

Lesson learned: do not book your return flight too soon (like I did) as it's now common to request for interviews in Taipei (4 other people were interviewing that day before me for DTV).

➡️Total days from online application to approval: 10 days

Hope my experience will be useful to some of you!

We left Thailand for a vacation in Turkey. The lineups at BKK were very long and I was left with no time to obtain a reentry permit. Back now on a 60 day visa. Do I use form TM9 to reapply for a retirement visa? I have had a visa and extension of stays for over 10 years. I have had over 800,000 baht in my Thai bank account forever. Any issues identified or help is appreciated.
