I have a non-O visa from Belgium, valid for 90 days. I'm coming to Thailand in October. I've booked a hotel room for only one month. (After that, I want to stay with my girlfriend, but the room owner doesn't fill out a TM30 form, even though he's required to do so.) The hotel owner forwards the TM30 form to immigration. I have to report to immigration within 24 hours. Will I receive proof of residency from immigration, even though I've only booked a room for one month? I need this proof to open a Thai bank account to apply for a one-year extension at the end of the 90 days. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am about to apply to renew my visa extension based on retirement,Ihave a unused single re-entry permit ,which I bought when I extended last year.

Does this expire with the current extension or is it valid until used?

Specific question for Chiang Mai Immigration: Can anyone confirm when applying for 1st visa extension based on retirement, if my bank book has to be updated the day of application or can be updated the day before? Thank you.

Having had Visa exemption for the past few years. I have decided to obtain a 90 tourist visa so as not to abuse the system. Reading the requirements l have to report to immigration after 60 days for a 30 day extension. Can my return or onward flight be 90 days from arrival and not the 60 days before getting the extension. Thanks

Question about visas: I entered Thailand on a non-b visa but things didnt work out with my first employer. I left the country and went to Laos for a border run and re-entered on a tourist visa so my second employer could convert it to a non-b. once again, things did not work out. now i have a new job that starts in mid-october but my tourist visa currently ends on september 27th. should i go to immigration and get a 30 day renewal or should i leave and re-enter again? how long should i leave for? should ask my new job for a letter to help me at the border? im afraid of being denied at the border but i would do it by air this time to another country instead of by bus like the last time.

With an initial 90 day O visa, how early can you do the extension? And on the other side, how soon do you need to do the extension? The 90 day O visa expires on 13 October.

Hi everyone, I entered Thailand on a 60-day visa-exempt stamp (arrived July 31, stamp expires Sept 28).

I received my school documents just today. But in this document from immigration page it says more than 15 days before visa expiration. Can I still apply directly for the ED visa (TM.87) at Chaeng Wattana tomorrow? Has anyone here applied in a similar situation recently? Any advice is very much appreciated 🙏

Hello everyone, a silly question here but when one is advised to 'ask directly to your local IO', in my case Chaengwatthana. Where do you go and ask your questions directly?

I often find the front desk at the entry pretty much clueless and/or with a poor understanding.

Do I need to ask and probably disturb the officers at the counters inside, where people has a queue number already? Or is it there any useful information area in the building?

Thank you for your help.

Hi all

I've been coming to Thailand twice a year regularly on a visa-exempt entry as I usually stay for a few weeks or a month there. I have an Australian passport.

For the next visit, I would like to stay longer, for around 3 months, and think it's better to get a tourist visa offically before flying out and to extend it for 30 days when I'm there. Is this better than arriving visa-exempt again and then applying for 30 day extension? Or is there no difference between getting a tourist visa officially or arriving without a visa to get that 30 day extension?

Cheers
