Hello, I am planning to come to Thailand around November 10 as a retiree and settle in Hua Hin region. What is the deadline to get the 90 days visa if you apply online?  Otherwise is it possible to take a tourist visa 60 days and once on the spot apply for long Stay retirement visa on the spot at the immigration office? Thanks for your good advice.

Bonjour, je prévois de venir en Thaïlande vers le 10 novembre en tant que retraité et pour m’installer dans la région de Hua Hin. Quel est le délai pour obtenir le visa de 90 jours si on fait la demande en ligne ?  Sinon est-ce qu’il est possible de prendre un visa touriste 60 jours et une fois sur place faire la demande de visa long Stay pour la retraite sur place au bureau de l’immigration ? Merci pour vos bons conseils.

Hi,

I'm planning to apply next week for the DTV soft power in Hanoi.

I'm currently on a non-b with work permit, but have stopped working. My employer says they will only cancel the work permit when I go abroad next week and that my current visa will then be automatically invalidated. Is this correct? I read online that I should go to immigration to cancel my visa on person, but this might only be the case when you are in Thailand on the moment you cancel?

Has anyone recently went from a non-b to DTV in Hanoi and can they advise me on whether they require any extra documents on this?

Thanks in advance!

My Non-O retirement Visa 2nd extension is due in a month, I am based in Chiang Mai and currently banking with Bangkok Bank. As required by Immigration I have seasoned my 800K for two months prior to applying for a bank certificate in preparation for the renewal. However, according to some recent posts I obviously fall short of the additional two months that Bangkok Bank started to impose in July.

Could someone with recent renewal experience offer guidance on how to navigate this predicament? I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Fourth entry since I got the DTV in August 2024. Each time at Suvarnabhumi, and each time with no questions asked or documents requested.

Note that I have multiple ED and volunteer visas in my passport, that I used before I got the DTV.

So what acceptable as far as visa on arrival goes.

I just lost my tkt to Thailand because trying to get there with a visa meant I needed to buy 175 euro worth of risky visa submission and I could lose the money if not given a visa

Hi, please can someone confirm the length of visa I will be given in November?

I have spent 3 months in Thailand January to April, 1 month in June.

Ideally would like 4 months, is this possible in any scenario?

Hi folks

I just want some clarification please.

Do you need to provide a purchased flight ticket and proof of accommodation when applying for a DTV visa?

TIA.

Question about switching international schools while on Non-Ed student and Non-O guardian visas:

My child and I currently have a Non-ED and Non-O guardian visa, and we are on our first 1 year extension now. We are thinking of moving to a different international school in another province in Thailand for the next school year. Can I just get the documentation from the new school showing that my child has been accepted and we’ve paid the new school fees and “update” our existing visas (since the school switch would take place before the next 1 year renewal) to reflect the new school information and our new address or would we have to start over from scratch, from outside Thailand?

Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
