I have been living in the far north of Chiang Mai province for a few years now on extensions based on marriage to a Thai but now I am here on a visa exempt. I will apply for a new visa based on marriage to a Thai next month after I have the required funds in my bank account. In the meantime, I need an extension because my visa exempt will expire next week, before I have the funds in my account for the new visa application.

Will immigration balk if I apply for a 30 day, so-called "tourism" extension? If not, what should I put as the reason for staying on the TM.7 application? A quick look through my passport makes it obvious I am not here as a tourist.

I ask because my wife is 6-months pregnant and prefers not to make the trip to the city this time - she would need to be present if I was applying 60 day extension based on visiting Thai family.

I guess another option would be a border bounce via Chiang Khong/Huay Xai. Are they currently requiring an overnight stay (or longer?) in Laos?

A big thank you for all the contributor's help from this forum with the Thai visa process.

I had a question about 90 day reporting. I came in August, and reported 90 days in Nov. In Feb I am leaving the country for a week. I have a DTV visa which should renew another 180 days upon return.

My question is, do I need to file another 90 day report online if I'm leaving in February for a week?

Thanks,

Dear All,

what's the regulation for TM30, if I have previously lived in Thailand for 2 years but recently changed my visa due to workplace change, do I need to ask for my landlord to register for a new TM30? (I had to go out of Thailand to make a new visa) TIA

Hi, I’m currently in Thailand on ED visa and planning to go to Taiwan to apply for DTV visa. As I will provide my employment contract as an evidence and it is stating my address in Thailand (my rental), does anyone know if there’ll be a problem that my residence is currently in Thailand? Thanks

Bit of a different question…

My wife (Tha and UK passport holder) id flying with me to Thailand for two months.

When we return, she is going back to Thailand two weeks later with her daughter.

Is this too short a time for to return to Thailand on a second visa exempt?

My wife does have a Thai passport also. But need to know as the flight has to be booked with correct name in the passport.

Hi everyone. I have my DTV Visa granted on 15 September 2024, and have been living in Bangkok since.

A friend told me that I may need to complete and physically visit immigration and submit a "Notification of residence for more than 90 days form (TM.47)"

He wasn't sure and just submitted this form to be on the safe side.

Few confirmation questions:

1)

Can anyone confirm if this form is mandatory to physically submit within 90 days of obtaining a DTV.

2)

If its mandatory, then where in Bangkok do I go to submit this form, or can I do this online?

Please advise the above, or if its not mandatory, please let me know..

Thanks

Hey All, I'm a flight attendant seeking to move to Bangkok. can I apply for the visa from the states? I need to go back and forth every 3 weeks , would that alarm immigration?

Did anyone got DTV visa if you had 'Denied entry' before?

Do you need both 800k baht in a bank account and proof of monthly income of 65000k baht or one or the other? TIA

For 2 month stays at an AirBnb, is it possible to request a copy of TM30 from the landlord or how can I go about getting one? TIA
