Hi All,

If catching the train from Bangkok to Vientiane, can I submit my TM8 (re-entry permit) at the Thai border checkpoint or do I have to go to an Immigration office?

Thank you

Quick question re: first 90 day report after getting my first 12 month non immigrant O retirement visa extension at Chaeng Watthana in Bangkok. Does the 90 days start from the date I entered Thailand (Nov 4) or the date I got the 12 month extension stamp (Dec 24)? I wasn't given the little note stapled in my passport indicating when. I also can't find anything official on the immigration website.

Thanks!

Question: I arrived in Thailand before TDAC, but it seems I no longer have the TM6 in my passport. I've had several visa extensions (and done all the 90 days reports) while living here for a couple of years, and its never been any problem. Now I'm leaving Thailand in a couple of days - is this bound to be a problem? Has anyone else been in the same situation?

Is there anyone who flew to Bangkok with a stopover in Singapore and was denied entry? I'm wondering if they'll send you back to Singapore or to your country of origin.

Hi all... A quick check-in on the Thailand Retirement Visa process (Non-Immigrant Visa Category “O” – Retirement Extension).

I entered Thailand in late November on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa Category “O”, with the intention of applying in-country for the one-year extension of stay based on retirement.

Completed so far:

* Opened a Thai bank account in my name

* Deposited 800,000 Thai Baht (treating the funds as frozen)

* In the process of completing residence registration (TM30 / address confirmation), including a notarized passport copy from my embassy and an official Thai translation (should be completed next week)

* My understanding is that Thai medical insurance is not required for an in-country retirement extension (please correct me if wrong)

* The two-month seasoning period for the 800,000 Thai Baht deposit will be reached in early February.

Questions:

* Is early February the correct time to go to the Immigration Office with the full set of required documents?

* Is this typically walk-in or appointment-based?

* I have read that the funds must remain untouched for three months after the retirement extension is granted — does this restriction affect my ability to leave Thailand during that period? I need to return to the United States in March for pre-existing obligations and requirements.

Thanks very much — appreciate any firsthand experience or recent confirmations 🙏 ~mb

I’m coming in from Canada and I understand my passport gives me 60 days. I do not want to do a border crossing. When is the best time to apply for the 30 day extension?

With a non o retirement visa

Should this document be presented in paper form or can a saved electronic pdf stored on a mobile device suffice

Hello everyone,

I currently have an Extension of Stay (based on Non-B) stamp that expires on Dec 25. I’m not renewing it because I plan to apply for a DTV visa from Vietnam.

Plan:

• Leave Thailand on Dec 22 (4 days before the extension expires)

• Work permit will be cancelled before I depart

• I’d like to submit my DTV online application on Dec 22 (same day I fly out)

Question:

Do I still need to go to Immigration to cancel the Extension of Stay even though it has only 3 days left, or can I just depart normally without canceling it?

Thanks in advance for any advice/experience.

Hi guys,

I requested documents from Canberra, and since I have two jobs, I was provided with both contracts and a letter stating that I’m allowed to work remotely from anywhere.

However, the Thai Embassy asked for the following, and I’m a bit confused:

1) I already provided the company number in the letter, but they seem to be asking for something more official, such as a Companies House Certificate of Incorporation or a Companies House Company Profile.

Has anyone experienced this, or can you clarify what exactly they are expecting?

2) They also seem to want another letter confirming that I’m allowed to work remotely while staying in Thailand.

My previous letter included my salary and highlight work from anywhere remotely — for this new letter, is it necessary to include salary again, or is it enough to simply confirm that remote work from Thailand is permitted?

Any advice from those who have applied would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
