Hey, chris here!

We are looking at getting DTV and going Phuket way.

Any recommendation?

We an are ~30 couple, British and Canadian. We like peacefulness, walking distance to massage places, gyms and spas etc, also good amenities like cinema etc.

Also how much cost $ is it roughly to furnish a 3 bed house 🙂

Thanks!

LTR Visa question. On my last trip to Thailand I received my 10 year LTR WP visa. It expires in 2028 with my passport expiration.

On my next trip to Thailand will they still stamp my passport on arrival? If so, what should I expect the stamp to say about how long I am allowed to stay? Do I need to point out my LTR visa stamp at immigration? Is it helpful to use fastrack immigration on arrival?

Thank you

Hello, everyone!

There are a lot of reports of people not being able to open a bank account now even on non-o marriage visas.

Anyone had experience opening bank account with non-o marriage visa recently?

I don't understand how we are supposed to do our 1-year extension if they refuse us to open a bank account.
