I want to apply for a marriage visa what is the best process and once granted can you leave Thailand and return for say a month or so

Is it easier to apply for a dtv visa in Vietnam?

Is it usually easier for Vietnam to apply for DTV than other countries around Thailand? Some friends and I successfully applied in Vietnam, but we haven't tried to apply in other countries yet.

Do you prefer getting re-entry permits at immigration or the airport? Or is the difference so minuscule that it doesn’t matter?

Immigration Report:

I just passed through Flu Through Immigration Desk at DMK.

10 people in line . Farang and Thai.

Female I/O asked no questions and stamped me in for 180 days.

She did yell at me when I was shuffling my bags before she was finished. "Not yet".

1 minute at her station.

A big relief!

Has anyone done the re-entry permit at Phuket airport on departure recently?

How long was the wait? Any other advice please?

Thanks

BKK Immigration A Breeze

Just arrived at BKK, very small queue as it was 05:00.

I have a Non O Visa, showed the officer the paperwork, she looked at it stamped my passport all done in less than 3 mins.

Anyone got thoughts/experience getting DTV in jakarta? Either looking at doing it there as we are flying over from NZ, or we can do Sydney or somewhere in south east asia.

All thoughts appreciated!

I have been following this group for many months as I have been in the process of moving here to retire. I am very grateful for the wise and sage advice of some of the members who take the trouble to provide concise and factual responses. Our journey so far:

* Non O Visa obtained in home country 2400 baht

* Arrived Thailand obtained TM30 and Certificate of Residency for wife to open bank account with KS Bank

* Waited 63 days for money to season and went to our banks to obtain required financials.

* Straight to Jomtien Immigration to join pre afternoon queue. In soon after 1pm and out by 1.25pm with both 12 month retirement extensions granted - 1900 baht. Collect passports and arrange re-entry stamp after 2 days.

The officer spoke excellent English and was professional and efficient. The only requirement over and above the official list of requirements was a hand drawn map of our location. We had already prepared this.

It is not difficult to do this process on your own if you prepare your documents well and listen to the guidance given in this group. Many thanks to all that provide their valuable assistance.
