I have tried to search this within the group and am not finding recent information.

Are dependent visas still offered for Ed visa holders? (I've heard confirmation for Ed Plus which is only offered through a university, correct?)

So if a parent comes to do a year long language course, can they have dependent wife and children (not yet school age) ride on their visa?

I know it was possible 5 years ago but I have heard mixed information on it recently.

Hey team, I'd like to apply for DTV now via e-visa in my home country of Australia, go on a 3 week international trip I have scheduled with the current passport in December, then return from that trip and apply for a new passport around January 2nd, then travel to Thailand in mid-February. All flights are already booked, and I can’t miss the 3-week trip in December.

Will entering Thailand on a new passport while the DTV is associated with the old passport cause an issue? I’ve previously had a Thai visa on an old passport, so I just traveled with both passports while that visa was valid. Would it be the same with the DTV even though there won’t be a physical visa in my passport?

TLDR: My passport expires in mid-June 2025 and I’d strongly prefer to apply for my DTV BEFORE I receive a new passport, so I don’t have to cancel my flight and lose money. I assume the DTV will carry over to my new passport once I get it, but can anyone confirm?

I've already submitted the course enrollment(pic 1) for the application of DTV.

They're still requesting me to provide the cover letter from the university address.

Does anyone know what cover letter they're referring to?

Should I submit the same enrollment letter again?

Morning. I'm supposed to do my 90 day check in today but came down with the good ol stomach flu. Is it OK if I'm a day late for it? Or should I not risk it?

Any updates on DTV

Is it possible to apply for a 3 months retirement visa in the country every year ?

with the new rules that tourist get a sixty day stamp when entering the kingdom. Then I can go to the BKK immigration office and pay 1,040 baht to get a 30 day extension? does the immigration re-stamp my passport or just sends me an email? also can this process be accomplished from the website?

Hello, I have a question regarding banks in Thailand. Since I only have a tourist visa, I am not able to open a bank account. Therefore, I opened an account using my girlfriend’s identity. I have a debit card that allows me to make withdrawals. However, since my girlfriend's phone number was provided to the bank, I cannot use the app on my phone, which is a bit inconvenient... So, I asked my girlfriend to allow me to access my bank account online without using the app, but with a username and password. She explains that it’s dangerous due to scammers and that only the app is secure. Honestly, I don’t see why it would be riskier with a Thai bank than with a French bank to connect without the app. Connecting through the internet just means using a username and password... What do you think?

Being dragged of to immigration right now. They said I haven’t provided proof of residency within 24h after arrival to Thailand. Even though I did at airport and at the hotel I stayed in initially and paid for it at both places. Now they say I must pay a fine of 2000-10000b .

Is this correct? Please advise

I haven’t had an O visa for a long time as my stays have only been 1 month at a time.

Can I still get one as my 2 kids are there and they are 20 and 23yr old. I’ve not been able to see my son as he’s been doing 2 years national service in the Thai army and just got out. Someone said I needed 400k but I never needed that before!
