Can anyone who has been on an education visa tell me the cons?

Hi all , I’m here in Jomtien on a tourist visa and have already used my 60 days + 30 days extension that it allows me. I would love to stay for 6 months more here to work on my health and fitness. Is there way or a paid service via an agency here in Pattaya that I could get a 6months visa (Muay Thai, cooking?) .

Technically I could just leave do a border run as they say from Vietnam/combodia re-enter and get another 60+30, however I have read recently that people doing this have been questioned on entry??. I love Thailand and have long term goals of being here , hence I don’t want to take a mis-step. So I was looking if maybe a visa agency in Pattaya could help me with a paid service for a 6 months visa. Thanks

Hello, based on the visa exempt period of 60 days I purchased our tickets to BKK on 17.12.25 return back to France on the 5.4.26. I reserved a house in Hua Hin for 6 weeks in the beginning and another for 6 weeks at the end in Koh Samui. In between we planned to travel Vietnam. Now I heard that the visa exempt will go back to a 30 day period, has anyone more info about this and what would you suggest for me to do??? It seems several extensions in a year is not advised??? Thank you so much for your advice!

Hi Everyone.

My WP is expiring within few days, but my annual extension of stay till mid July with multiple re-entry stamp. My company is not able to renew my WP. If I leave the country and come back will the visa be accepted still? What is the best and cheapest solution? Thank you 🙏

I’ve been working on keeping 400k in my account for non-o 1 year and it accidentally dipped under 400k by like 70 baht for a few days before I noticed.. I immediately replaced the money but does that mean I’m screwed? I had it all lined up for my visa ending in 2 months.

How much grace can immigration centers afford us with these types of accidents?

How much an agent / firm is charging for taking care of retirement visa in Bangkok ?

Well getting caught in the U.S. Federal Government downsizing so will be retiring this year versus next year. Right now I'm planning on landing along the coast between Bangkok and Pattaya and will be applying for the 90 day "O" visa (I think versus the OA) to enter and then doing the one year extension after I get a bank account sorted out. So a few questions for anyone willing to provide any guidance or thoughts to the following:

1) Not 100% sure this is where I want to end up, but would it be better to stay in the same area until after the first 12 month Visa extension is completed or isn't this an issue (I keep reading there are slight differences in different immigration offices).

2) Anyone have a recommendation on an agency to assist with the opening a bank account, getting Thai license, and 12 month extension either in Pattaya or Bangkok?

I expect to arrive in Thailand sometime late Oct or early mid November (just completed a two week vacation there a couple of weeks ago. Any other thoughts or tidbits someone wants to share will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

If staying in Thailand on marriage visa can someone please explain the process of leaving and and coming back too Thailand. Do I but a re-entry visa. opes my visa start all over again ? thanks for the advice.

Will the new Tdac affect land border runs . >bounce. <from Thailand to obtain a extension. As you don't physically leave Thailand.

Hello, I’m sure you people will be able to help, I am just wondering with the DTV visa requirement of the 500k obviously you have this in the bank account at point of application does it also need to be in the bank account for extension or re-entry?

Also has anyone done it for themselves and a spouse is there anything to be aware?

Thank you in advance 🙏
