Quick update: as I heard , the embassy in hcmc vietnam takes quite long. Since everyone is now rushing to this embassy because they think it's faster. So now It's been 6 or 7 days now and some people still haven't got their dtv. Just to let you guys know. Maybe Taiwan or Jakarta will be quicker now.

Hey guys, I’m just curious if anyone has a sample letter of the bonk statement ( that it’s my account, and how much I have etc.). I always have a hard time explaining to SCB what I need for immigration.

Getting the 12 month statement is no problem. It’s just that letter immigration requires from the bank on the same day

Thanks in advance

Good evening

I need to renew my 2-year driving license. My Embassy doesn't validate addresses unfortunately. I've looked up the requirements to get a certificate of residency in Bangkok:

1. copy of your passport’s photo page

2. copy of your visa (if applicable)

3. copy of your TM6 Departure Card

4. copy of your Receipt of Address Notification

5. copy of your lease/house book with your name and address

6. two passport-size photos

However, I live at my wife's house and I don't have a house book or lease with my name on it. I work, but my work permit also doesn't have my address.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

Kind regards

I am currently on a “O” marriage visa based on marriage to a Thai

I am considering changing it to a Retirement visa when it exprires in December and using an agent to get through the financial requirements

My question is has anyone with 1st hand experience using a Visa agency and what are the time frames involved and procedures like how many visits to the immigration office etc.

Thank you for knowledgable answers only please 🙏

Update re DTV for South Africans in SA:

I managed to get a hold of VFS and they referred me to the embassy since they do no process the visa. I have since received a response from the Thai Embassy in Pretoria: "The official application process for the DTV visa is yet to be confirmed as it's a relatively new visa. We await the instructions from Thailand still."

I will be there in person the 2nd of August and I will keep checking in if anything changes.

For medical reasons im

Thinking of booking a 6 months visa and do a couple of border hops

[ LAOS ] . Im staying with girlfriend in her home.

We have been together 7 years. My Question is

If we decide to get married

While I'm there do I have to report to a immigration office to inform them of the wedding...

Ok dimbo again, I took the best advice and applied for a 60 day visa and it has been granted, so is that it? just an email attachment ? Should I print it off and present it to immigration or what?

I have just receive an email from Nonthaburi Immigration advising that I need to file my 90 day report on the 28th December. My last 90 report was on the 3rdOctober and then I left Thailand and returned on a multiple re-Entry permit on the 13th November. From my entry into the country until 28/12 is only 76 days. Is this a new accounting method Immigration are applying ?

Had submit online today my first 90 day report in Phuket (enter with a non O-A visa).

6 hours after submitting, I got the confirmation.

Is Malaysia a viable option for a land border run? I will be in Krabi Around when my time is up and am wondering about this instead of Laos...
