They rejected my DTV and gave me only half a year instead of five years - out of compassion. How often do I need to renew my visa at immigration - every 30, 60, or 90 days?
Hi. I’ve nearly been here 90’days on my DTV visa. I tried to register the 90 day report online. But the first time you need to go in person to your local immigration.
Could you tell me what I need to take with me. I’m in Phuket RAWAI also which part of the immigration do I attend. Any help would be great.
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.
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.
