Hello all. Could anyone please confirm what the background colour of the photo for a visa extension needs to be? Can it be blue/light blue?

So, I'll hopefully be moving to Thailand on a DTV in August and I know I'll have to do the whole TDAC thing, but from what I understand, the TDAC is a single entry, 30 day 'permit' (or whatever you want to call it) and you need to have an onward or return flight scheduled within that time. So how does that work with the DTV? Do I still need an onward flight (one of those cheap throw away tickets) within 30 days of arriving?

For Canadian passport holders travelling to Thailand for tourism:

... do we still get a 60-day visa exemption on arrival (no visa required), which can be extended at the Immigration Office for another 30 days with a 1900 baht fee?

Or has it been reverted back to the original 30 days + 30 days extension maximum? ... In which case a 60 day tourist visa must be applied for ...+ 30 days extension for 1900 baht to be able to stay for 90 days total.

Where is this officially posted by the Thai government?

Quick question: If I get the Non O, deposit the 800K, and after three months get the extension to 1 year, do I have to stay in Thailand for the whole 9 months until further extension, or can I leave, and come back before the first year is over? Thanks all for your reply, much appreciated.

This may be a daft question...

I'm looking to apply for a Non-Immigrant O-A Retirement visa for Thailand.

I plan to retire there at the end of this year.

When does the Visa period start?

For example, if I start the application now and it get's granted in say 2 months, will it's validity start the moment I land in Thailand?

Or when I get granted the Visa?

As I say, apologies if this is obvious to you all and thanks for any clarification.

We are interested in coming to Thailand long term from Canada, and curious what visa is best to arrive on. We are mid 30s, have a few rentals as our main source of income.

We will be enrolling our daughter in an international school in Phuket and

We also want to start up our dog business there.

What would be correct visa for us to apply for ?

I was thinking the guardians visa from the school as I’ve heard they assist with getting it but unsure if I can open/run a business on this visa?

Any recommendations for good visa agencies in either Bangkok or Phuket that could help us?

Thanks 😊

Hi everyone. I am planning on moving to Thailand shortly, marrying my girlfriend then living here on a marriage visa. Two questions.

Which visa should I enter Thailand on?

Would I have any problem entering on a one way plane ticket?

Thanks

Good afternoon

I am currently travelling up to Suvanabumi to fly out tonight

I am on a 30 day extension.

Would I be correct in thinking I cannot use the e gates for departure as although the extension is stamped clearly enough there has been nothing electronically changed to the passport at the Hua Hin Blueport Immigration office ?

Many thanks
