I applied for non o based on non thai family living in Thailand September 21. It has been "pending approval" since October 21. Ive reached out via email, their fb page, and unanswered calls to get any update since it's been well over 20 business days. I leave in a couple days. If they approve my visa after I'm already in country on visa exempt, will I still be able to leave and re enter activating and using my non o visa? Tyia.

Hi everyone! I completed my 90-day report online today. This is my first time doing the 90-day report online. I have done it before a few times, but under a Student visa, and this is my first time under a DTV visa. After I filled out and submitted the form online, I received an email(see photos) - does it mean my 90-day report was approved? Do I still have to go to the immigration? TIA

Quick question, heading into BOI to have my LTR-P visa transferred to my new passport. They ask for a copy of old and new passport with your photo… now I would assume that it’s the passport photo page but do they also want 2 separate passport photos? Anyone have any experience with this process? Many thanks in advance.

Just wondering, i joined a muay thai course starting in the middle of May till nov 2025. So on my intended day of arrival and departure in online dtv visa form , the total duration is about 185 days which is more than 180 days . Because the course starts from 20 may till middle of November. So should i book confirmed return tickets or dummy will do also . Also for how many days i need to book the hotel in my case.

I'm in HCM right now and applying for Muay Thai visa.

The Visa center is asking me for (1) DBD and (2) information about the training course.

What is a DBD? can anyone assist me on this?

My wife and I have non-Immigrant O retirement visas that will renew on 29 January. We plan to renew them this week, as they can be renewed up to 45 days in advance.

We also plan to get multiple re-entry permits at the same time. My question is this: I plan to leave Thailand on 7 January. Will the new re-entry permits cover us, or will they only take effect after the visa renewal is official?

Maybe I'm being ridiculous worrying about it (that's what my wife says), but I'd like to be sure.
