I have renewed my passport, I have a Thai wife 1 year extension. My old passport is not out of date but at extension time there would be only 6 months validity, hence the early passport renewal. My question, am I obliged to swap stamps immediately or can I do that at my ease?

When applying for a non O visa from your home country. How long should you book your Hotel/ accommodation for

These are brandnew rules for non o married and retirement

How long does it take for a 5 year bronze elite visa turn around? Looking at doing that instead of retirement visa although I qualify. The agency I used sucked and got my name and passport numbers wrong on documents. I need an easy route. I don’t care about the money. I’m sick, I have cancer complications hence the reason for using an agency. I’m tired. I just need something easy. The banks have been giving me the run around and frankly I’m too ing tired, literally and physically to deal with it them anymore. Any jerk comments will be deleted. Just need some advice, kindness, and grace for once. Just once.

Probably been asked a zillion times so apologies, If we apply for our dtv and get it does it activate immediately or when we land in Thailand?

Thanks

Looking for firsthand experience only, please.

I'm on a Non OA visa with a permission to stay expiring in June 2026. I'm considering the departure and re-entry method to extend my stay, arriving back into Thailand with a renewed health insurance policy valid through June 2027.

Has anyone personally done this through Chiang Mai Airport or Suvarnabhumi and been granted a new permission to stay matching the insurance expiry date? If so, which airport and how recently?

Not looking for general opinions on whether it should work, only interested in hearing from people who have actually done it. Thanks.

If i was in for 20 days can I come back a month and half later and come back in for another 30 days?

I want to come to Thialand for 90 days. I'm visa exempt so from previous visits I get 60 days and then extend. However if i recall from last time the airline wouldn't board me with a 90 day return ticket. I had to buy a separate ticket which departed after 60 days. Even though i would never use it. Has anything changed?

I am not going to renew the retirement visa which is due on 16apr and i am planning to leave on 15apr. As i will back to thailand later 1 week using visa exemption.

1. Do i need to cancel the retirement visa (with multiple re-entry) before i leave?

2. Will i be asked any question when i come back using visa exemption?

3. I may extend 30 days, again will i be asking any quesion (judging of having retirement visa before and now change to visa exemption.)

Stupid question but... can we enter on a different port than what we apply for on our visa application?

If I selected BKK for first point of entry into thailand, and decide to fly with Malaysia Airlines via KL into Krabi instead... will this be allowed? 😅
