Hi guys,

Can anyone please advise regarding getting the marriage spouse visa.

I’m just getting my marriage certificate done with my wife this Friday.

The immigration officer from Chaengwattana has asked me to :

1. Firstly, extend my tourist visa (expiring on Sept. 30th) and then later

2. Get an extension for ‘visiting spouse visa’ so I can later apply for the marriage visa (non-o)

A bit confused and wondering if anyone went through something similar?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi everyone, I entered Thailand on a 60-day visa-exempt stamp (arrived July 31, stamp expires Sept 28).

I received my school documents just today. But in this document from immigration page it says more than 15 days before visa expiration. Can I still apply directly for the ED visa (TM.87) at Chaeng Wattana tomorrow? Has anyone here applied in a similar situation recently? Any advice is very much appreciated 🙏

I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?

If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?

Do we get a reset every January?

Thai bank account with 800k soon to be funded. 6 weeks left on tourist visa. What do I need to get my OA visa? I'm near Laos, so going there isn't too difficult, if I have to. I have a Thai gf to help translate, and not looking to use agent.

Can I apply for 3 month while I'm Thailand and not leave? Or do I have to leave, apply, wait, and come back? Can I extend my tourist visa another month, which will give me time for 2 months with funds in account? What is best option?

I appreciate any help or tips that you can offer.

Hello,

I would appreciate anyone sharing their experience working with the THAI VISA CENTER to obtain a non-o visa. I am presently in Thailand on my 30 day tourist extension. I do not want to fly all the way back to my home country (USA), but would be happy to fly to any S.E. Asia location that has a Thai embassy that will allow me to apply for a non-o. Thank you for any thoughts you care to share.

Currently under a Tourist visa that expires in one month:

I need to extend and find the best visa for 6 months until October (become 50 and can get RTM).

DTV prices seem very expensive for 6 months.

I have had ‘ challengers’ at airport from immigration due to previous stamps.

What’s the best advise for a 6 month visa ….

Thank you

Hi all, is anyone aware if you can book your DTV visa extension appointment online?

Immigration's online booking system doesn't have an option for "DTV visa extension".

Is it wise to book a "Tourist Visa (TR) Extension" or another category, or do DTV holders have to go to Immigration without a booking?

If you leave Thailand during the 60-day tourist visa period - say for a week - and the 60 day period ends while you’re out of the country, do you need the 30-day extension before you leave, or when you return? All input appreciated.

Is TM30 an absolute requirement for tourist visa 30 day extension?

UPDATE: went to LAK SI Immigration office for the 30 day extension and a TM30 was NOT required.

I did provide my lease agreement in lieu and it was sufficient. However, I too would recommend getting a TM30 just to be safe. Thanks all for your help below!

I will be starting dental treatment 2 March. My tourist visa expires 31 March. Am I able to apply for a dtv while still in Thailand. Or does this have to be done back in my home country.
