Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate your advice.

I’m a Vietnamese citizen currently living in Bangkok on a DTV visa.

I’m planning to travel to South Korea and some Schengen countries.

Is it possible to apply for Korean and Schengen visas in Bangkok, or do I need to return to Vietnam to apply?

Thank you!

My wife is on a dependent DTV visa. We have exited and entered Thailand many times before and always together. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances I need to stay in Europe a bit longer and she needs to travel back alone. Can she enter without me? Does anyone have experience with this? The reason I ask is because on one occasion while entering Thailand, the immigration officer asked her "where is your husband?". I was just behind in the queue and she could point to me.

Thanks

Hello. I just want to clarify the marriage visa/Non-o visa for foreigner woman married to thai man, do we still need the 400,000 baht show money?

And also, where should we translate my documents to thai and thai marriage contract to english?

Thank you so much.

I am here with my son 30 day visa exempt. Our exit date is September 7th.

I plan to go to Singapore a few days before that for my birthday. Only going to stay in Singapore for 2-3 days then return to Bangkok for another 30 days…visa exempt.

This seems simple enough. Is there anything I should aware of, worried about or take heed of??

Thank you for any advice

Visa for my parents

They plan to move to Thailand in March 2019. Dad will be 52, mom will turn 50 in March 2019 (when they move). What's in that case the best visa for them?

I read about the Non-O-A. But I guess, my mom won't be able to get this visa, because she's not 50 at the time of applying.

Thank you in advance.

Looking for some advice please?

We are looking at the best visa option for my wife (UK passport holder) to spend more time in Thailand, tentatively from October to May. Probably stay the whole time but might want to make occasional trip back to Europe if required. We have started to look and see a lot of People suggest Education Visa. Look forward to comments from knowledge and personal experience, cheers BB

I arrived last year in November with a thirty day exempt then got an extension. Did a border hop in January at Mae Sai and got another 30 days. Got an extension in Ranong last month with no problems. I am planning to do another border hop for another 30 day exempt in Ranong this time. I just want to be sure that it will be okay and confirm that I am allowed two border hops per CALENDAR year. I do realize it is up to the discretion of the official, but wonder if anyone has had issues with doing three in a row like this. Thanks in advance!
