I plan to apply for a 90-day O Non-imigrant retirement visa at the Seattle consulate in US. Regarding the financial evidence, I currently get a social security payment every month of 2,161 USD, which is about 67,000 baht (only a bit higher than the 65,000 baht monthly requirement!). Would that be sufficient and acceptable ?.. Do I still need to show a bank statement of 800,000 THB in funds ? (My understanding is that you only need to prove one or the other financial requirement).

Hi everyone, I’m asking on behalf of my partner (he doesn’t use social media) and would really appreciate any experience sharing 🙏

1. Does mental health counseling / psychiatric treatment count as a valid medical reason for a DTV (medical soft power)?

2. Usually, is a licensed clinic or counseling center acceptable, or does it need to be a hospital?

3. Any recommended mental health clinics or hospitals in Chiang Mai that can issue English medical documents?

We’re planning to apply through the Thai Consulate in New York. If anyone has experience applying there under the medical category, insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Do we really need to submit last 3 months bank statement ? Is 2 month enough? Because one of my statement balance is below 16,000$ and i am worried.

Is it mandatory to submit 3 months?

How does one get a "No Criminal record against Thailand

Applied for e-visa a few days ago, just received this. Has anyone got anything similar before? Or what do you think could be the reason for it? location: Penang, Malaysia

I plan to come for 3 months again this winter. Do I have to contact the Thai consulate in LA as I have done the last few years? I wrote to the. Two weeks asking for forms and directions but haven’t heard back. Is there someone in the office there I could simply call and see what forms they require now. I want to buy my tickets now. Thanks for an5 contact help you can offer. Jim Hartman, Coloradoone@yahoo.com.

Hello,

My name and passport number are incorrect in the non-immigrant dependent visa issued by the Thai Consulate in Vientiane. Upon pointing this out, my documents, including my passport, were taken back by the consulate with no clear indication of if and when this issue would be resolved.

Has anyone faced this situation before? Please advice.

Tipps / agencies sought for getting married in Thailand without the hassle. As a German national it would seem to be particularly complicated, lengthy, and costly to marry a Thai woman. While for some nationalities (like the US) it is as “simple” as giving an affirmation of THEM never having been married at their respective consulate, who then issues a letter to present at the Amphoe. Sounds like rather streamlined. The bureaucracy involved for Germans is on a whole other level. Germans need a document from Germany called “Ehefähigkeitszeugnis” (a very German word, I know). It is a certificate that is issued by an authority in Germany (and only in German of course) that confirms that BOTH the German national AND the Thai national are free to marry EACH OTHER. That involves countless different documents, translations, notarizations, and legalizations from various authorities in both countries send back and forth. And only then would be German consulate issue a confirmation of free to marry to the Thai Amphoe. Very costly and time-consuming. A nightmare. While I was always one to avoid agencies and the brown envelope kind of way of doing things in Thailand, I am leaning towards making an exception here, if possible. Any leads on a painless way to obtaining a legit Thai marriage certificate? Both have never been married. And please, no jokes about the pain of getting married in general – and what a mistake it is. ;-)
