I'm trying to use the website of the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles, California to apply for a 90 day Non-O retirement visa. I have questions (eg, why is there no field for middle names? Is this going to result in denial?) And the only way to contact this Consulate is with the Line app but the app link is broken..😵‍💫 Anyone else having these problems?

Useful information for 🇺🇸 applicants.

I'm arriving in October, leaving in December, from the UK.. A total of 58 days, visiting my wife and daughter. I've previously got the 90 visas as I've stayed longer. (My last 3 passport entries.)

Going onto the evisa website the options are for 60+ days. Im visiting immigration after I arrive to get my house book sorted, to open a bank account.

Am I ok to arrive on the 60 day visa exemption? Technically I'm not a tourist, but visiting family.

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of applying for a non o visa here in the UK but I'm having issues uploading the 3 months bank statements 😢. Can I put them in a zip file and upload that?

Sorry I'm not very computer savvy and I'm struggling with the pdf merge tool I've tried using (pdf guru). They have sent me a merged pdf file but when I try to view it, I'm just seeing blank pages 🤷.

I stupidly, initially sent them in a screenshot.... Bad move, they requested more info, so I'm going into panic mode now.

I really hope you guys can help me with this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you in advance for any info and advice ❤️🇹🇭❤️

Has anyone applied for the DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in New York? How long does it take to get approved?

Hi I have to go out of Thailand to get my o visa, is it easier to go to Laos or Vietnam? If you have done one of these please let me know your experience

Thanks again

Hi everyone... Can someone please guide me .. I'm on tourist visa in Thailand.. but now looking to convert my visa in low cost to maintain my legal status in Thailand...

Can you please tell me what are the best options I can have.....

For Hong Kong applicants:

Before applying, many people said Hong Kong was difficult to apply to, and even the cooking schools asked me to avoid it.

However, if you're a Hong Kong resident, don't hesitate to apply there. It will just take longer, about a month. There's no need to apply in other countries, as flights and hotels also cost money.

The visa fee for Hong Kong is 3,000 HKD.

Cooking school: 19,000 + B.

That's about 8,000 HKD for a 5-year visa.

Even with Soft Power, the application process in Hong Kong can still be slow. It took me about a month.

Thanks for all the help and advice I recently received, regarding the issues I was having with the Thai Evisa website. With only 2 days left of the 14 day window to complete and submit my documents. I have finally managed to upload my documents.

A heads up for anyone that has an issue with the site, and are asked to submit further documents. After clicking on the red icon to upload documents on my Macbook the link does open but it’s not in view. You need to click and hold the screen and scroll across to the link. As there is no scroll bar this is not obvious until it was pointed out to me.

Hope this will help others and thanks again for the help. Now fingers crossed it gets approved

Non O vis 90 days (retirement). I'll apply Thai Embassy in UK. Is it straightforward to open a bank ac account with this visa?
