Hello, I have just applied in Hanoi. When immigration responds asking for additional documents, I am wondering how much time I have to upload them? Obviously, the quicker the better, but I will explain my situation further.

I'm asking specifically about the 3 months of bank statements. Currently, I am only able to show one month with the 500,000 THB requirement. However, if I wait two more days I will be able to get another month of bank statement with the 500,000 THB requirement on December 10th.

I'm assuming if I can show 2/3 months with the 500,000 requirement, it would be better than showing 1/3 months.

Thanks for the help 🙏 love this page

Edit: Yes 15,000 THB was a typo. I meant 500,000 THB (approx. $15,000)

Hello guys!

Is fast track a legit thing? I watched a video of a guy that entered with a fast track service, but after two months when he was leaving the country they told him he had a fake stamp and got arrested. Is that possible? Thanks

Hi People, My Non O visa expires on 7th Jan 2026, what is the next stage to remain here in Thailand on a permanant basis.

I have sufficient funds in the bank for over the last 2 months.

I have a TM 7, but is that the correct form to stay here.

Anyone have any information about overstaying (missing the 90 day report date) and having to extend? Got my dates mixed up and can’t do my 90 day extension. The immigration officer at the information desk recommended flying out and back in, but I’m on an emergency passport and would rather not risk it.

SO, anyone else miss their 90 day and have to extend manually?

Quick question: I have an Elite visa that is about to expire, and I plan to switch to a Non-Immigrant O (marriage) visa. My plan was to go to Savannakhet, show my 400,000 THB bank letter, and apply there like people used to do.

But I just saw an announcement from the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet saying that starting 1 January 2025, all visa applications must be submitted through the e-Visa system, and applicants can no longer submit passports or documents in person. It also says you can only apply once you are already outside Thailand.

Can anyone confirm if this is really true?

Is Savannakhet now 100% e-Visa only with no walk-ins for any visa type, including Non-O marriage visas?

Is this the same way for all other consulates?

If anyone has recent (2025) experience, please let me know. Thanks!

Heyyyy :)

My 60-day visa exemption period will soon expire and I want to go to the Immigration Office for a 30-day extension. I have a question about the TM30 document that need to submit for the extension application. I signed a 6-month condo contract (because I planned to do one visa-run) and haven't actually lived in others places in Thailand for those 60 days than my condo. Now I'm wondering if the immigration officer will be suspicious if I give them a TM30 with a "from-to" date and he sees 6 months (I don't know if a landlord can just give me a document where he put only one month, maybe its an option) and they won't grant me an extension due to the recently tightened rules. I'm wondering if a safer solution would be to book a hotel for a few days and request a TM30 from that hotel. But then I'm wondering if the immigration officer has access to my residence registration history in the system and can see that I have no history for those 60 days except for this one hotel. Does anyone know how this registration system works in practice?

I am getting conflicting information on the internet so I would like to hear from those who know. I will be entering Thailand on Saturday with an OA visa and will not be able to reach the island where I will be living until Tuesday. I understand that within 24 hours I must report to the immigration office in the area where I live to file the TM 30 form. Other information specifies that I must file the TM 47 form up to 7 days before the 90 days expire. How exactly should I proceed? Thanks!
