New Passport DVT transfer.

After getting my new passport I wasn't quite sure how it would work transferring the visa over.

I flew out of Suvarnabhumi and as I came down the escalator was directed to the new electronic gates. I explained i would need a stamp in my passport and they still pointed at the gates. Ignoring this i went and joined the line for a human immigration officer.

Once I explained that I had a new passport and would need a stamp, I was escorted to a desk at the back where they transfered the stamp coming in previously and the new exit stamp into my new passport 🥳🥳🥳. No questions, no issues, no problems. They advised to bring both passports when I next enter 👍

My 90 day report date is during my time out of the country - do I need to let immigration know that I am absent? Take flight details to them, etc? Thanks 🙏

I will go to Hanoi soon to apply for a visa.

Does anyone know exactly how much 500k baht I need to keep before applying for a visa?

If anyone has recently applied for a visa in Hanoi, please let me know.

I'm really curious whether I should keep 500k for 3 months or 6 months

My fiancé has her K-1 visa interview tomorrow morning at the US Embassy in Bangkok. Has anyone’s fiancé gone through the K-1 Visa interview process recently ? If so, could you share questions that were asked ? Thanks !

Once you receive the visa, is there a certain timeframe you need to actually enter Thailand for the first time with it?

hello little question how much do you have to pay for the extension of the dtv muay thai visa every 6 months

Bonjour petite question combien faut il payer la prolongation du visa dtv muay thai tout les 6 mois

Hello ! Anyone who got DTV with soft power courses experienced any issues at airport immigrations during visa runs ? Like the officers question about new courses and how the course is doing because normally the courses are 6 months long. Is it required to enroll new courses after each one expires just to extend my period of stay? i’m going to skip soft power option if it is so. It’s going to be costly.

Does anyone happen to know if I obtain a DTV and sponsor my son on it (He’s 20 yrs old) will his Visa be good for 5yrs as well? Or will it only be good until he’s 21? Thanks in advance 😊

Will soon submit my request for extension of stay with one year this week, based on the appointment with the IO in Koh Samui (Non-O Retirement). With regards the usual bank paperwork for the thb 800k (held over past 12 months) , has anything changed this year?

I ask so because I just saw a YouTube video stating several retired people were rejected in their extension request by their IO because they reportedly could not prove the 800k originated from sources abroad, whilst this same money was already in their bank for last few years, and during last year extension this was not an issue.

Note 1: the example stated the person had taken some funds over past year and replenished this later to the required 800k, from local sources he held in Thailand.

Note 2: the checklist I received from IO last week does not indicate any different requirements, except I had to agree that they have the right to investigate my data and documents provided.

--> Please your advice on this matter of the 800k (which I have held in my SCB account for 2+ years, and have never taken any of it.

Much thanks.

Is there any precaution I should take if a Visa Agent, realtor, or Insurance agent requests photos of my passport? Can this cause problems for me?
