Hi,

I have a question regarding the 12 month non-O retirement visa extension. My 2 month bank deposit period coincides with my passport stamp in the new year. Can I go into Div 1 in Bangkok before this date to get the extension? i.e. before the end of the 2 month period?

So much fear mongering on this group about entry. Entered today at DMK, queues were extremely long but didn’t see one person get turned away or taken aside.

Just gave the officer my passport the system already knew I had a DTV, no questions asked and was in within about 60 seconds max from me approaching the officer. Didn’t ask for any other documents at all

As long as you’ve done everything correctly (TDAC beforehand) you have nothing to worry about.

This is my 5th entry since getting the DTV and the only questions I’ve been asked on entry (one time) is “how long have you trained Muay Thai” and “will you fight in Thailand”

I replied “for about 3 years” and “maybe but I need to lose some weight first” immigration officer laughed and let me straight in. I think she just wanted to make conversation since she was super smiley and that time there wasn’t a queue

Bare in mind guys you will hear more of the bad experiences on this group rather than the thousands of people that enter just fine

Is there an online site and list to download the documents needed to renew my Retirement Non O Visa? Also what document shows the expiration date and how many days before it expires to renew the visa?

Please, any brazilian who applied in Brazil 🇧🇷and have a "MEI" who can give me a little help? Tks!

I am an American citizen that holds a retirement visa in Thailand. My visa was issued from one of the immigration offices in Chiang Mai.

Do I have to renew it from this same office in CM or can I renew from another office?

I ask because my wife and I would like to visit some of the beaches around the time I will need to renew.

Thanks all!

You may have read my previous post about entry into Thailand. So now had time to process and visit immigration.

Next move.

The IO at the airport said get a wife visa which I believe is an O visa. This is problematic as I will not have 800,000 in for two months, more like two weeks.

The IO at my local office confirmed this but mentioned 400,000 but think this is an O-A visa which I do not want.

Now the METV. This would be perfect and I can meet all the requirements. I guess I would need to leave Thailand to apply. But would having a Thai wife prevent this.?

Basically an METV would allow me to leave and renter Thailand to give me 150 days I need

To apply for an METV, if required to leave Thailand, would Vietnam be OK.

Finally thoughts on visiting a visa agent. Would it help.

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

Could you please tell me if a Re-entry can be done at IT Laksi and what the requirements are? I’ve tried to find more information but couldn’t.

Also, could you please let me know what documents are required for the cancellation of an ED Plus visa, apart from copies of the passport and the letter from the university?

Thank you in advance!

Can I "renew" a marriage visa into a retirement Visa or do I need to start over with the retirement Visa process?

I am entering bkk with my thai girlfriend on fresh dtv visa. Can I use thai immigration lane with my gf? I have done that before on Tourist visa. It's my first time entering with dtv.

90 day Report While Traveling Inside Thailand;

Anyone here have experience with needing to get a TM 30 for the 90 day report without a rental agreement or more permanent address?

I am traveling to every province in Thailand for the next 4-5 months and will need to do my 90 day report during my travels inside the country.

Not planning on leaving the country for a border run either.

Some people say you can get a TM 30 from a hotel but I haven't heard details about that.

Any tips?

thank you
