I have tennacy for 1 year

Thanks 🙏

Hello. I am interested in the Thailand retirement visa, I know the details, it just seems a bit complicated and now it is also getting quite difficult to open bank accounts. I am considering getting a Cambodia retirement visa for a year, and after I open it, I can get a bank account quite easily. I may do this and then try to get the Thailand retirement visa when things get a bit easier. I am wondering if I might have difficulty getting a Thai retirement visa if I also have a similar one in my passport from Cambodia. Might this raise eyebrows from Thai immigration staff? Anybody have any experience with this? Thanks.

Hey there! I’m applying now. Is it okay if I created my business three weeks ago?

(so I don’t have proof of paying income taxes)

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Please put my mind at ease. US passport holder, planning to fly to Thailand tomorrow, staying a couple weeks. Can I still do visa on arrival or do I need to do an application?

I have a current Non-B with re-entry. I left the country on this visa and then was approved for DTV while in Canada. When returning to Thailand, can I come back on the new DTV and cancel the other one once I arrive? Or do I need to return on the Non-B visa and then cancel, leave the country again, and return on the DTV.

I'm on a yearly extension of stay for retirement based on a non-immigrant O visum.

Before doing my last TM47 90 day reporting online on 02/01/2025, approved on 03/01/2025, my next reporting was due on 16/01/2025. Now the next one is due on 02/04/2025. So far, so good...

This morning, I received an email saying this:

"Your receipt for notification of "STAYING LONGER THAN 90 DAYS" will be due on 16/01/2025.

(...)

Please apply TM47 request online or contact the Immigration Branch Office in your residence area before due date."

2 questions:

1) Should I worry that Immigration may have bungled up my last TM47? I just checked in the online system where everything still looks good.

2) Useful to know for the next time: Can an online TM47 nowadays also be done just 5 days before the due date? The email text suggests that this is the case but I think TIT also applies here and it might be a "misunderstanding"... So far I thought that it was only possible 14 days to 7 days before the due date, hence I did it 14 days before.

Just got approved for DTV and sharing my timeline here.

Canadian, applied in Canada. (Handled by Thai Consulate Ottawa, application fee: $650 CAD = ~15500 THB)

Dec 24 - submitted application, attached proof of balance, employment letter

Dec 27 - additional documents requested:

1. Letter from the company explicitily stating that my work can be done remotely

2. Company registration document showing that the company is legitimately up and running.

-> HR provided me these

Dec 30 -> submitted above two additional documents

Jan 3 -> approved

Considering it was a holiday season, im quite impressed how quickly this was done.

Hello. My wife and I are in the planning phase of our retirement to Thailand (from Canada). This is approximately 3 years away.

Is there a site or video series that anyone can recommend that lists the recommended steps? We have a reasonably good idea of the requirements but not the steps, the order and timelines.

We plan to use an agent as I assume that will make things more efficient and painless. I think it's too early for an agent but I could be wrong. I assume 6 months prior.

Dear experts,

I am Vietnamese, I arrived in Thailand with visa exemption for 60 days (Sept 25 to Nov 11). I have few questions below:

1. I want to apply visa extension, but I don’t know how many days I can extend (30 days or 60 days)? Or do you have any official document about that please share.

2. The extension valid from the date it approved or from the date my visa extemption expired. For example, if I apply for visa extension on Oct 15 (via e-extension), and get approve after 7 days and get the stamp on Oct 22. So the extension (30 days or 60 days) start from Oct 22 or start from Nov 11?

3. This is the first time I do it, so I wonder, is there any situation that the immigration reject the extension?

Thank you!
