Im landing in BKK on the 1-12-25, I want to stay a minimum of 90 days in TH, I’m 71 y/o I’ll have travel/health insurance,. I’ve got 3 options,1- enter visa exempt and extend it by 30 days to give me 90 days,.2-enter with a TR visa from uk giving me the same options,.3-entering with an o retirement visa giving me 90 days, what would you recommend ?. My last visit to TH was for 222 days in 2022/2023, came in on a TR visa from uk and extended and border bounced, I’m concerned this could be an issue if I arrive on 1-12-25 and imo pick up on it.

Hi. I have Bangkok bank with over 800 000,- and I am going to search for non OA visa. I am 53 and my question is which health insurance should I get? I have checked one AIA and will cost me 35000 baht.

Anyone apply dtv from hkg

hi everybody

i just got the re-entry permit to keep my non-o 90 days " alive ".

want to ask :

1) when i leave thailand do i need to tell the immigration officer who stamp the depature stamp that i have an re-entry permit or they will know from their computer system ?

2) if i enter back to thailand do i need to tell the immigration officer that i have an re-entry permit so that they will stamp the " 1st duration depature date that i enter on my non-o " or they can see from their computer system and stamp back the same depature that i use to enter on my on non-o first day ?

thanks

VISA APPROVED!

Hanoi Embassy

Applied on Wednesday

Sent additional documents on Thursday.

Approved the next Wednesday.

Info that might help others:

I included bank statements from 4 banks: Bangkok Bank, Wells Fargo, Kbank (joint account) Kbank (personal account). Totals for all the bank was over 1 million for 3 months.

The additional documents requested were pay stubs, business license of the company I will work for and the passport/ID of the owner.

I included the pay stubs from my old job in Thailand which were reflected on my Thai bank accounts. I also included the invoices of some of my contract work which were reflected on my Wells Fargo account. My new boss's passport was expired, so I included that as well as their drivers license.

For the business registration I included a copy of their LLC, EIN registration, tax registration and Treasury department registration. Maybe a bit of overkill, but I had access to all those, so I sent everything.

No issues mentioned about my Thai accounts. I didn't send them my old work permit, no pages from my passport, nor my tax information from years of working in Thailand. I did have those ready if needed. All in all it was a smooth and quick experience, other than the angst!

Thanks for all your help here!

Good morning,

I’m curious if any families that have successfully received their DTV, if you were able to show 500,000 for the whole family vs per person and if so where? My friend got her families approved in Cambodia in July but I’m just curious if there was anywhere else.

No embassy has answered my inquiry emails back yet 😅

90 day reporting online.

We have many posts from people that have tried to do online 90 day reports that have been rejected. Many times the reason for the rejection isn’t clear or even stated.

The 90 day report system takes your request to file online and routes it to your local immigration office to approve or reject. Like many things in Thailand different offices have different policies.

The two main reasons for a rejection are that you are trying to do your first report online since entering Thailand. It doesn’t matter that you’ve been here for 20 years. If you’ve just returned from a trip abroad and are trying to file online it may be rejected as it’s your “first” report since entering.

The second and possibly the main reason is that the address you are using on your report doesn’t match the address that’s on file for your TM30. Many people I see coming in to the office state that “they’ve been in the same address for X years” so it shouldn’t be an issue. But forget that they stayed in a hotel (or even a hospital) 2 months ago in Samui or Bangkok or Nakon Si Nowhere. The hotel/hospital is obliged to file a TM30 for you and therefore updates your registered address to their location.

As stated its office specific, so one office may approve the filing whereas another will reject it. If rejected you can file a new TM30 online and try again. Perhaps you will need to go to your local office to resolve but almost certainly they will tell you the same thing. The address on file for the TM30 isn’t the same as the address used for the 90 day report.

Hello all,

I am from the United States and interested in making the move to Thailand after several visits.

I am retired and receiving a pension but I am younger than 50.

Which visa should I look into applying for?

Please and thank you.

Expect a flood of DTV applications in local embassies. Get your applications in to beat the rush.

Do you still go to laksi to extend the 60 free entry ?
