When I go to the bank for six months of transactions, I have to get another one from the bank is it a guarantee the money is still in the account, or is it something else to get?????

What is the situation if you have a 12 month 'non o' visa (retirement), have left Thailand on exit/re-entry and you are back in the UK and your passport expiry date is during the time back in the UK - are visas and exit/ reentry stamps transferred to a new passport? Are you able go keep old passport with visa and stamps in? I am unsufe of the process, any advice/experiences? ✍

Has anyone here, over 50, brought their wife who is under 50 to Thailand. They got a non-o retirement visa and the wife got a dependent visa. I read this process of getting a depedent visa could be difficult and may not be successful, so I'd like to know about other people's experience doing this.

Ok.. so I arrive in Phuket in a couple of weeks( pre 1st May ).

I have accomodation for a couple of weeks and will source year long accomodation when I land.

Seeking a Non O retirement visa.

I take a TM30 with relevant docs and try to open a bank account c/w B800000.

This will take a week.

The 800k has to season for 2 months before I apply for the visa but I’m only left with 7 weeks on my visa exempt( NZer).

Do I apply for a 1 month extension or best to do a boarder run a week before my 60 days run out then I can apply for an extension if needed?

TIA

So I read in a few different places that if you have questions about applying because you have a specific situation that's not the norm, that you should contact the embassy where you plan to apply, so that you can be sure you have everything in order according to that embassy's requirements. Well, my plan is to go to Cambodia to apply. And so I emailed the embassy last week on Sunday. I was expecting they may read it on Monday and reply like on Monday or Tuesday. But it's already Sunday again ( a whole week passed) and still no answer from them. Anyone experience email communication with embassy's like this in which it's just a couple of questions needing answering so I can continue my application prep? What's normal as far as waiting on an email reply?

I had done a 12 month education visa in Thailand in 2023, so I thought they might ask to see my passport pages. They never asked in the end.

I found an awesome site for pdfs. Much faster than some other more popular sites

Good luck to everyone 🍀

Can we do a walk in for extending the three months visa to a non immigrant visa if all paperwork is in order?

First border run

Went to KL this morning, had a good lunch , came back same day.

The immigration girl asked what's my job on DTV? Then Stamped and goodbye.

Does anyone have any experience with applying with a Syrian passport? My friend is wanting to apply, but has had issues getting visas with her passport in the past. If anyone has any experience with a Syrian passport or other compromised passports, it would be great to hear!

I know people talk about soft power for DTV visa and it has to be Thai culture activity. I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for 20 years. Why can’t Thai massage classes be considered a soft power?
