What is the most loyal consulate as of today? How quick the processs goes? Asking for a friend 🙃 Mine took almost a month in the states!

Good evening! What type of multi-entry Visa (other than DTV) is fast (hassle free) and cost efficient for those who intend to stay up to 1 year in thailand.?

Hi, what are the documents you need for the 60 days extention for visiting Thai wife? Thanks.

MY Visa has been confirmed and sent. Unfortunately, the date is not correct - my visa runs from the day of approval... Nobody answers the phone at the embassy in Frankfurt. Has anyone had similar experiences and knows how to contact the colleagues?

I have just been advised by bitkub that my cryptocurrency holdings may be used for my annual retirement visa application. Has anyone used this facility successfully?

Guys-

Living in Krabi with my Thai Wife (we got married in Krabi last year)

Entered recently on a W.60 Visa Exemption.

Have a 6 month rental lease.

We want to take the route of Non-O 90 Day Visa (marriage) and then extend that visa by 12 months

I understand a requirement for the extension is 400,000 baht IN A THAI BANK ACCOUNT in my own name

My issue is I CANNOT OPEN A THAI BANK ACCOUNT in my own name whilst I am on a Visa-Exemption

Hence- my reason for converting my Visa-Exemption to a Non-O 90 Day Visa (marriage) would be so I can take THAT visa to the bank and successfully open a Thai Bank Account, to fund it and have the funds ready for the one year extension stage

So it’s illogical to expect me to have funds in a Thai Bank Account when first applying to convert to a Non-O, if I cannot open a Thai bank account without FIRST converting my Visa-exemption to a Non-O, which I can THEN approach the banks with, to open the account using the non-o

My Plan Of Action:

1. Convert W.60 to a 90-day Non-O (Marriage) from within Thailand (Krabi Immigration)

2. Use that new Non-O visa to open a Thai bank account easily

3. Deposit 400,000 baht and let it season for 2 months

4. Apply for a 1-year extension before the 90 days ends

MY QUESTION:

Would Krabi Immigration accept this logic and accept this as a basis/purpose for wanting to convert my current Visa-exemption to a Non-O 90 day Visa (marriage) from within Thailand?

I have all the other requirements met.

Cheers guys.

DTV via Thai Embassy in UK: Does anyone know if they accept bank statements from Revolut? Thanks.

Changing passport: Just to confirm please, if anyone 100% know by experience.

My DTV workcation is on the old passport.

I’m about to change passport due to ending of pages.

As I know, old passport will be not valid after this procedure.

But I will be able to pass immigration holding two passports?

Any future foreseeable issues with using an agent, though usually against, will need go back america next year for few years as the country is in turmoil. Just want make sure no issues with agents for return. This given I don’t put back the money. Probably do Retirement next time.

I have a question.

I applied to the Japanese consulate in Fukuoka, but they asked for all pages of my passport and since I had already left Japan, my application was cancelled.

I will reapply in Kuala Lumpur where I am currently staying.

"Have you ever applied for Thai visa? Yes No"

Which answer should I choose for this question?

I chose "No" when I applied to Fukuoka last time.

Since this is a reapplication, will it be "Yes"?

Or, since I have never applied for any visa other than DTV, will it be "No" this time too?

**Additional Note

I would like to explain why I am undecided.

My application to Fukuoka was not "Status: rejected" but "Status: Cancel Visa Application".

Cancel = no application?

I was notified by email that the reason for the cancellation was that I had left Japan.

In other words, this DTV is my first time applying for a visa to Thailand, and the result of that first application was "Cancel" instead of "rejected", so I am undecided.
