Good morning. I have a new job and will travel to Laos this weekend to get a new Non-B visa. My current visa extension expires this Monday, June 30th, which is the same day that I'll leave Thailand and enter Laos. My question is, should my old work cancel the visa before I travel? I understand there is a cancellation stamp that I might need to have, before applying for the new visa. Thanks.

90-day reporting noob here.

I understand I can go to immigration starting 14 days before my 90 day due date.

If I go 7 days before (for example), will my next 90 day due date be 1) 90 days from the original due date, or 2) from the day I went (83 days from original)?

Thanks!

Hi,

On 6 June 2024 the IO here in Chiang Mai granted me an extension of stay based on the Non - O over 50 (retirement) visa using the international bank transfer of 800,000 baht. The expiry date ends on July 2 2025 (in effect 13 months according to the stamps in my passport).

The next extension of stay will be applied for and based on the monthly income method of 65,000 baht minimum international bank transfer every month for 12 months.

Question:-

Do the 12 x monthly statements run from:-

1) June 2024 to May 2025 inclusive (12 months);

2) July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (12 months);

3) June 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (13 months).

Regards!

Graham

Hi, I am a little confused regarding my next 90 day report this time as I recently received my new extension of stay based on Non B visa. Does the 90 days start from 7th April 2025 when I returned to Thailand after leaving the country or from the date of my new extension of stay 14th May 2025. I don’t want to miss it so thought I should double check. And should it be done in person this time as I previously did it online with no issues but I hadn’t left the country beforehand, so am I right in thinking as I left in April my next one has to be in person please? Thank you.

Can I apply for DTV at Hanoi but stay at a hotel in HCMC? The entire visa process is online so does it matter where i stay in Vietnam?

I have my DTV visa since 1 April 2025. I travelled to Ho Chi Minh on 30 April 2025, and returned to Bangkok on 3 May 2025. The immigration officer never enquired about my DTV visa and it only took one minute to obtain my 180-day stamp.

Hello quick question about the 90 day report. Came in on a 60 day exemption, just converted to a 90 day non o visa at chaeng wattana on Friday. Entered Thailand about 85 days ago. From my past experiences they do the 90 days along with the issuing of the visa, but last Friday was the earthquake day. Not sure if I still need to do it or only need to start doing the 90 day report 90 days after the first visa is issued.
