Just been to Bangkok Bank in Udon Thani and asked for a simple bank account. I had my passport and 90 day retirement visa and driving licence. I’m 56 and retired and in a relationship. My girlfriend rents a home nearby. I was told that I also need a TM30 stamped at immigration office and long term rental agreement. She also tried to sell me Insurance for 50k baht for 12 months, as she said it would help my application. This is just a post for information purposes but feel free to add comments that may help!

Hi. I am asking for my wife. She is spanish and actually on a visa exempt. We would like to do the marriage visa ( I am thai national ), the tabien baan is in Bangkok. Is possible for her to apply in a different Immigration other than Bangkok? If someone know about any reliable agent that could help with all the paperworks and make it smoother process, that would be really apreciated. Thank you

Hi everyone,

I applied for my DTV visa on April 1st via the official website in Hanoi, Vietnam, and my visa is still pending approval. My flight back is scheduled for Wednesday at the end of the day, and I’m getting worried about the timing because Monday its holidays in both countries 😢

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Should I contact the embassy immediately to get an update, or is it normal to wait a little longer? I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations you might have.

Thank you very much!

Hello everyone. Thanks for the invite or add!

I need help with the LTR visa?

Has anyone been asked questions when entering the land border with a DTV visa?

Anyone know a good Agent in Bangkok that could do 90 Day reporting for me ?

I see now that immigration requires a letter from your Thai bank stating that your balance has come from overseas. Is this a long process or can they do it for you immediately.

Hi all,

I got an approved online retirement visa. Plan to make the move within 1-2 months.

Now, if I changed my mind and I would like to stay in a different place than what I've written in the application (Different apartment in a different city), do I need to inform them of this in advance, or can this be done after my arrival, when I'll go to the local immigration office to extend my visa to 1 year? TIA

Hi. When applying for the 90-day non-immigrant Cat O in one's home country, prior to applying in Thailand for the 1-year extension based on Marriage to a Thai, is it 400,000 or 800,000 Bt required to be in one's bank account for that 90-day visa? Thanks.

I sent a 90 day report by registered post on 12 March enclosing all documents listed on the immigration website and a stamped addressed envelope. I sent it to the address stated on the website. On the Thai Post tracking website it says it was delivered to Laksi post office. I sent it over a week before the due date. I haven't received anything back yet and the reporting window has passed. I tried phoning the numbers on the website but the 1178 one just says sorry all our agents are busy please call back later before hanging up and the other one says "for English press 1" and then starts talking in Thai and hangs up. I sent an email but no reply. Of course, the obvious solution is to slog it up to Chaengwattana but the whole point of doing it by post was to avoid that. Any suggestions? This was the first 90 day report at this address, this passport and this entry.
