Hi all, I would like to stay in Thailand for seven months. Normally I would just do 2 visa runs (🇧🇷 gets 90 days) but last year when arriving at BKK they told me next time I must get a proper visa rather than just use exemptions.

So I will get a Non-Imm-O/retirement. I’m 50+ and have 800 kilobaht in a Thai bank already. I have 2 questions:

1) My understanding is that I can’t just leave during my extension period, but must go to Immigration to have it canceled. What is the procedure and requirements for that?

2) Since I'm leaving early, do I need to show Immigration that I have correctly kept the 800k (3 months) / 400k (afterwards) in my account for the required post-extension period?

I do plan to come back to Thailand long term in the future so I don’t want any black marks. Thanks for any input!

I now hold 2 visas and a work permit. The visa I have been using is a business visa, the "owns 49% of the company" kind. The work permit is associated with that visa.

I now have a DTV and I intend to enter Thailand using the DTV.

I need to cancel the business visa and work permit. Is that something I can do myself? What is the procedure for that?

I have a Work extension, and my non-Thai wife and son piggyback on this. It expires on 30 November 2024. I am just preparing the paperwork for our annual Immigration visit, and noticed that my 9-year-old son's UK passport expires on 27 October 2025. I don't have time to renew his passport before we go to Immigration.

My understanding is that he will only be given an Extension until 27 October 2025 (his passport expiry date). I will get his new passport in January and get the Extension date transferred.

My question is what will happen next year when we need to extend again in November? Will Immigration overlook a 34-day overstay for my son (28/10/2025-30/11/2025) as children can't be fined, and give him an Extension that matches ours?

Or, when we go to Immigration next month, should we all apply for Extensions up to 27 October 2025 instead of 30 November, to keep everything in sync?

DTV Visa Success - Germany, Munich:

The process took about 9 days, including weekends and a public holiday. I applied for a new passport / express 1 day before so i uploaded a "pre-passport" document, but it was rejected twice. After explaining to the embassy, I later uploaded my actual passport, and the visa was issued the next day.

Question: My passport has 10 digits (bottom left) but 9 digits (top right). The german passport office said this is normal. Could this cause issues at border control?

Good luck to everyone!

Anyone that did the application process in Jakarta embassy recently and can share they experiences please ? ☺️🙏🏽

I’m hesitating between few different countries on where to apply

Thank you !!!

Appreciate all your help and comments

Hi All. Just a question about work permit and visa.

I was working in a particular school after 1 month l am changing schools. Does the work permit get changed to the other school like a transfer . Or does the process start all again. Visa and WP cancelled and have ti leave the country and come back.

Please only those with previous knowledge or experience answer. Cheers

Well my date of arrival is on 10 September on the application. My visa is always on pending approval.. sended email to the Embassy. Nothing. Applied 20 days ago.

Updates : they send me the visa already now!

If I get a DTV visa or e-visa and my passport expires within 5 yrs, how do I continue to use it?

Hi, has anyone applied for the DTV visa with more than one bank account totaling to 500k baht? I have two bank accounts with 400k+ in each. I can transfer the amounts, but that would be a red flag.
