hello to all!

need advice, moving to Thailand next month with 1 dog.

Am I forced to take an A/R flight or will just one way do it? , I don't risk being refused because I will return with a tourist visa and then ask for my retirement visa on the spot?

where should the retirement visa procedures be done before coming back?

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Thank you

Bonjour à tous !

j'ai besoin de conseil, je vais m'installer en Thaïlande le mois prochain avec 1 chien.

Suis-je obligé de prendre un vol A/R ou juste un allé simple peut suffir?, je ne risque pas de me faire refuser car je vais rentrer avec un visa touriste et ensuite sur place demander mon visa retraite?

ou faudrait-il faire les démarches de visa retraite avant de venir?

avez vous une solution à mon problème?

Merci

Hey, has anyone applied for a DTV via the UK Thai Embassy as a non-UK citizen/resident and been approved? I already have a DTV but my girlfriend (from South Korea) is visiting the UK with me now, and I wasn't sure if she'd be able to apply for a DTV here instead of doing it in Vietnam like the majority of people do.

I had heard that some people applying in Western countries were being denied if they were not from that respective country? Any insights or experiences people have with the UK Thai Embassy for their DTV application as a non-UK citizen would be appreciated.

Thanks.

My wife and are thinking about getting a DTV but when we were last in Thailand about 3 years, we overstayed our Visa because of a flight issue and had to pay an exit fine. I believe we overstayed by one day, maybe two, beyond the grace period.

I assume it's just harder, and depends on the embassy what the result is in trying to get a DTV. That said, any insight would be helpful!

Also, would it matter if we had new Passports or is the overstay info kept in the Thai computer system?

First 90 day report coming up, since getting my 12m extension. I'm yold i must attend on 1st then i can request and set up future 90DR online.

Can someone please list all docs/copies they will ask for on my visit, its a long way to call in just to get a list from them.

I might request a resident's certificate at same time, to apply for licences. So a list for this would also be handy, own my condo but no yellow book yet just docs and empty blue book.

Sorry if this been asked b4
