Looking for some advice. I am from the UK, and presently in the UK. I am a mother of a 19 year old daughter, who has thai citizenship. I contacted the London Embassy and they said that I can apply for a family 0 visa, to spend time with my daughter, while she looks at universities in Thailand. However, my daughter turns 20 in March, and so my question is, does this mean that my visa at the end of the 90 days, will not get extended, as my daughter will then be 20? (as I am to understand, 19 years is the limit on visa for a parent) I want to stay 1 year in Thailand with her, but concerned if they will continue to extend the 0 visa due to my daughter's age.

After asking some questions during the past months, I think it's fair I share my experience this year. With a EU passport I arrived Thailand in May and left after 58 days for 3 weeks. In my August re entry, I received 2 more months. On October I went to the IT square immigration office and received a 1 month extension. Overall i managed to stay in Thailand for around 5 months with the visa exemption scheme. I just have good things to say about the overall process, my second entry in August ( where I feared some problems), was the smoothest possible, less than 1 minute taking a picture and figure prints, no questions asked ( a female IO). In IT square, arrived around 12.30, services were stopped for lunch but at 3.15 pm I was out with my extension, once more, no questions asked. I didn't had a past of long stays ( usually 2 months a year 1 plus 1 extension prior to 2024). But I have decided if next year I will stay as many months I will get a proper long time Visa.

Hi a question if i may. When i arrive on a O visa marriage.

I will need a TM30 but if the house is not finished being built, and we have to stay in rented accommodation for a while will I be able to still do my visa application.

Also am putting land in my wife's name and a usufruct for me. Is the usufruct classed as my TM30 or will my wife have to give me a TM30.

Last time we lived in Thailand I had a company and only had to take blue book to immigration.

Any information much appreciated.

Hello everyone, does someone have any experiences with a Confirmation review of the pension notice by German embassy in Bangkok if someone wants to use a combination of his pension and his Thai Bank balance ( the sum 800 000 Baht in a year) as Proof of finances for a non immigrant O retirement visa extension at a immigration office? The non O , 90 day visa stamp is already in the passport while entered Thailand at Suvanabhumi airport.

Should the pension letter be in English language or Thai or it is enough in German language but approved by the embassy?

Thank you for any advice coming from people who really knows the matter and not just talking.

😊🙏😊

Question about TM30.

My wife and I own a couple of houses in suburban Bangkok for years now and in each yearly visit I have never filed a TM30. I have never been pulled up by immigration when entering or departing the country over a period of 10 years.

Next year I am planning to move to Thailand on a 90 day “O” visa and apply for a 12 month extension.

My wife, through her online Thai community contacts in Australia, is saying that I won’t need to provide a TM30 when I apply for this after I bought up the subject asking her to submit a TM30 on our next visit.

Can anyone provide some feedback on the pros and cons if we go to immigration without a TM30.

Hello, I have a non B visa related to work, I need to change to a mariage visa. Did anyone already do this exact same thing ? Thank you

When using the monthly income for "extension of stay" if submitting a credit advice for proof of income coming from abroad do you still need a 1 year bank statement?? We've lived here 12 years & every year has subtle changes 😉 logic says no but.....

For existing DTV holders. Question Re Driver’s licenses and DTV 180-day border bounces.

Sure many of you have already seen this onerous form for DTV extensions. Received this one today in Phuket Town but must be started at least two weeks in advance, and so I must exit and re-enter the kingdom due to insufficient time to extend. This isn’t a surprise to me, but it is a great letdown. When I asked immigration staff if the driver’s license could be applied for immediately upon return from the border bounce, the English-speaking volunteer at building 101 in Phuket Town said this shouldn’t cause a delay in applying for a driver’s license.

But I’d rather be sure. Those who bounced already on a DTV after your first 180 days, were you able to receive a drivers license without waiting another 90 days following your exit/re-entry?

Would anyone be so kind to share a recent list of requirements for ret. Non O annual extension? I realize it might be different than my office but Im not currently there and want to prepare what I can ahead of time.

Quick question, see on the DTV VISA when you extend your visa after the initial 6 months and you've been in Thailand for 12 months, how long do you have to leave the country before you can come back into Thailand? Could I fly to a nearby country for like a long weekend and come back and stay 6 months and extend again? It might seem like a silly question but someone might be able to clear this up for me.
