I currently hold a Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa. I will be traveling to Germany soon, where I will need to obtain a new passport. My current passport will likely be stamped as invalid.

What steps do I need to take to ensure I can re-enter Thailand and transfer my visa to the new passport upon my return?

I am a South African citizen and am slightly confused if I need to get an evisa to enter for 60 days or if I can receive it on arrival.

Many thanks for your assistance

Does the address registered with TDAC need to match the address provided for my 30-day extension? The immigration office requires the house master to complete a notification of residence form for foreign nationals, but I have recently moved to a relative's house.

Hi all, I noticed this post [members only]/ from about 2 months ago, but I would like to ask what are the requirements for applying first time around, not for extension. I just re-entered Thailand today on a 60-day visa exemption. My Thai child will be born in a few weeks. Can I apply inside Thailand (Udon) or do I have to apply at Vientiane? Can I go from visa-exempt to Non-Imm O based on Thai child? Will it take the form of an initial 90-day visa, followed by an extension for the year? How long does 400,000 THB need to be in the bank for? Any other requirements specific to the first time application? Many thanks! 🙏

DTV advice please

I tried to do all the right things. Rang the Thai consulate in Australia, only got an automated message to email questions instead. Did that and they didn’t answer my main question.

Can anyone who applied through one of the Australian consulates please tell me how long the 500k have to sit in one bank account before you apply? We have savings in several different accounts and I don’t really want to move that money until we have to.

Is it enough to show 3-6 months of statements showing regular income plus transferring the 500k just before applying? Or does it have to sit in one account for 3-6 months?

Also, how many months of statements did you have to submit.

Thanks 🙏

Couple of questions about 90 day report.

1. I heard you can do the first one in person but all the next ones online. Can someone give the URL for this?

Hi. I am in Thailand on my DTV visa. I am getting closer to the time of my 90-day reporting. Furthermore, I have international driving license, but it is valid only for 3 months in Thailand after crossing the border. I was planning do the reporting and converting my license to Thai one and do 90 days, but there came an opportunity for a border bounce.

Here is my question: I will be in Chiang Rai soon. Is it a good option to do a border bounce to “reset” 90-days and driving license? If so: do I just need to exit Thailand and do I have to come into Laos? If so, for how long do I need to enter Laos?

1h drive sounds tempting in comparison to 3 days spent in Thai immigration and other offices ;-)

Re Phuket Immigration office 103 for EoS (Extension of Stay).

I just visited the office and asked for the actual and detailed list of requirements for our 2nd application for the one year EoS based on non-immi O 90 days retirement visa. I got the list with some handwritten added points (see screenshot, last point no. 10 was already cut off from the office, but I know what it says ;) ).

Here my question: No. 3: quote: "Updated your address at room 101 or Drive thru before extension".

What does this mean? I already have updated TM30+90 days report/approved slip in my passport. Do I need an additional Certificate of Residence for the application?

Hello and good day,

I need to convert my visa exempt entry into a non-immigrant "O" extension based on taking care of a Thai child. I've got all the bits required and, if I go to CW on Monday, I'll have enough time before my current stamp expires to apply.

Do I need to make an appointment or can I just turn up with all the documents and my child on Monday and queue up ?

As of today, if I do a border run by land (US Citizen) will I get a 30 day extension or 60?
