I'm about a month out from filling out a marriage visa. Do I need to secure health insurance from a Thai insurer along with a certificate?

Looks like I also need proof of retirement. Is that a pay stub?

Copy of criminal record here

Certificate of health from my health Dept.

All notorized and all notorized by my Sec. of State.

I'm in the USA

Hello 🙏☺️

I hope someone have any advice on my situation as its stressing me outtttt.

In february me and my thai boyfriend and our 2 babies flew from Sweden to Thailand. The plan was to get married and then convert visa exempt to non o visa. But the marriage part took such a long time due to paperwork being wrong and stuff. We only got married a couple of days before my visa exempt extension was finished. So I had to do a boarder bounce by land to get 60 new visa exempt days. After the 60 days I got another extension and before that was finished we flew back to Sweden for one month holiday.

My plan was to get the non o visa from here and fly back with that. To apply from sweden though its more than 1 month waiting at the moment so I wont have time to get a non o visa from here 😭 (ive spoken to embassy already)

I am terrrrrified to fly back to Thailand with no visa and trying to enter on another visa exempt to convert into a non o visa. Anyone have been in similar situtation with 2 visa exempts and trying for a 3rd but having a "valid" reason for it?

Im travelling with my thai hustband and our 2 babies back to thailand. I have my marriage documents with me.

Is there any other visa I can apply for ? Or would even a tourist visa be better?

Any help is appriciated. Thank you so much 🙏☺️

Please, what is the limit on funds in a Thai bank when processing an AO visa? Two months before the application and how many months after the application is processed. Thank you Dana

Hello Everyone

I wish to apply for the Thai LTR visa in a few months and would like to engage a highly trustworthy Immigration Law firm in Bangkok. I have two questions - please share your experience/insights:

1) Does it help an applicant in any manner to meet and apply directly with the BOI representatives, versus going through an agent/law firm (other than saving $$)?

2) Which intermediary do you recommend to secure my visa - Harvey Law Group vs Siam Legal vs Baan Thai vs Fragomen - or any other name you think to suggest? A secondary criteria for making my choice is that they should be able to assist with obtaining Medical Insurance and guide in future relocation matters.

Thank you for all your inputs. 🙏

- Free visa ending on 19th of September

- 500k+ in my Kasikorn bank account deposited in the next few days (no 3 month record)

- been freelancing here and there and have some incomes from payment gateways from my country and also international Stripe & Whop

- had ED visa before and multiple tourist visas

- currently in Bangkok

- short personal letter

- no current work or income

What’s my best option? And which consulate?

1. Applying by myself to a Workation freelance DTV right now with what i have

2. Applying by myself with a muay thai gym package and invitation letter

3. Waiting 3 months with the money in the bank and then applying

4. Using an agency to help me apply to either Workation or Soft power

5. Applying for a 1 year work permit visa instead of DTV

Thank you for your help and comments.

I got a quick question guys , and i‘m greatful for any Kind of Information.

We re at the Moment in Hanoi , apllying for DTV . Sended Everything on 15th of August .3 days later they asked for :

Employment contract or employment certificate in their country or professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status : Business registration of company you're currently working with and an ID card of the signer.

————————

I‘m a online Marketing Manager for a Small Business in germany . My Partner is the Boss of it .

The Business registration I’ve sended, is a letter from the Tax Bureu , includes Name of the owner , the Service we provide ,TaxID of the Business and the copy of the passport . You think this is enough for Proof? We allready payd and everything .

I’ll be applying for my ED Visa in Malaysia using the e-visa system- I am wondering if I have to stay in the city I apply in? I.e. if I apply in Kuala Lumpur, can I wait for approval in Penang or Lankawi? (Asking because my school had me choose the city that I’m applying from)
