Interview request

Interview work cation

I just got an email from the London Thai Embassy confirming an “interview appointment” for tomorrow between 10–11am, but the email doesn’t say if it’s online or if I need to go in person.

I’m based in Jersey so London is the nearest embassy for me, but it’s not really possible for me to travel there tomorrow (I only just got back from a London trip yesterday!).

Does anyone know if these interviews are normally done online/video call, or if you have to physically attend the embassy? There is no other info!

I’m panicking now

Hi 👋 can you confirm it is still possible to apply for a non immigrant O retirement visa (1 year) from within Thailand by following this process:

1. enter Thailand on a tourist visa

2. then apply for 90 day Non Immigrant visa

3. during the 90 day period then applying for the 12 month retirement visa with necessary supporting docs including bank confirmation of 800,000 baht and proof of residence

Hi, I'm new to the group and need some advice about getting visas for my family.

We live in the UK and are moving to Chon Buri as my husband has been offered a job there.

He needs a Non Immigrant B single entry work visa. I need a Non Immigrant O visa, and our daughter needs a Non Immigrant ED visa.

Has anyone on here recently been through the same process and could share advice and information? I've been looking online but it's so confusing!

Many thanks.

Could a british expat help with this, preferably someone that's gone through the process in recent years, cos us old schoolers had it very different 20yrs ago when u just popped in to your local consulate.

The online E visa is stating I need 2 types of insurance, which do I actually need and where is best to go for best rate?

The police criminal record clearance, is the Police Certificate obtained from ACRO for £65 what they actually want?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi, which immigration office do I attend in Chaing Mai to extend my 60 day visa? Does it matter I arrived in Bangkok? Can I just turn up and extend it? Thanks in advance. 🙂

Update on my tourist visa extension. It appears my post yesterday was closed by the moderator. Rather than wait until closer to our exit date we decided to go to Immigration in Bluport Mall, Hua Hin yesterday. Asked the hotel where we are staying for a TM 30 based on advice I received on this site. The hotel seemed confused about my request but eventually gave me a print confirming my booking. Arrived at the office around 1:30 and took a number. While waiting for our turn we had our photos taken at a kiosk close by. We waited about 1.5 hours and were called in. The official asked for our room key and was not interested in our printout from the hotel. Ten minutes later we got our 30 day extension even though we just arrived three days ago. Very nice place to get the job done. 🙂

Hello there! May I ask, Is it possible, and or easier, for a U.S. citizen to apply for a Retirement OA Visa at the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, CA? Thank you.
