I have a non-O visa from Belgium, valid for 90 days. I'm coming to Thailand in October. I've booked a hotel room for only one month. (After that, I want to stay with my girlfriend, but the room owner doesn't fill out a TM30 form, even though he's required to do so.) The hotel owner forwards the TM30 form to immigration. I have to report to immigration within 24 hours. Will I receive proof of residency from immigration, even though I've only booked a room for one month? I need this proof to open a Thai bank account to apply for a one-year extension at the end of the 90 days. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am flying from Da Nang, Vietnam to Surat Thani. With a 2 hour layover at Suvarnabhumi.

I have always gone through immigration at Suvarnabhumi, but that doesn’t seem like enough time.

The visa registration wants me to specify the arrival port and flight number. Does anyone know will I go through immigration in Surat Thani and should list the flight that brings me there. Or should I be planning to list the Suvarnabhumi flight?

Thanks for your help 🙏 krap

I am holding a marry visa. Soon I have to travel to Germany for couple weeks. Do I need to dl something that my marry visa stays with me for redntry?

I am applying for a Type O visa (based on marriage to a Thai) on 6th October in London.

One criteria is that I need a letter to confirm where my wife and I eill be staying in Thailand.

At the moment, this can be either a homestay or a friend of my wifes house.

Has anyone here had to submit a letter like this for the Type O visa? Just wondering what the content of the letter needs to be.

Has anyone from Canada applied for the DTV?

When transferring your funds to your Thai bank via Wise for your first 12 month visa approval, is the Reason - Savings selected on the Wise transfer ok for Thai Immigration?

Marriage visa requires kor ror 2 and 3. My marriage is overseas and I already got kor ror 22. Does it mean I need to obtain the kor ror 2 and 3 by showing the kor ror 22 to Amphur?

I used to have an OA retirement visa but it expired in 2020. Since then I've had 60 day tourist visas and this year just used the 60 day visa extension.

I'm now considering applying in London for an O visa, going to Thailand and applying at the Jomtien Immigration office for a 1 year extension for the purpose of retirement. I'd make some return trips back to the UK during that year.

Four questions. 1. Would the Thai Embassy in London issue an O visa for this purpose on proof of sufficient finance in the UK?

2. Can I place the necessary money in a Thai bank account say 2 months before arrival in Thailand and so qualify for the visa extension very soon after arrival in Thailand?

3. What is the minimum time I have to wait after arrival in Thailand before I can apply for the 1 year extension? I ask because the O visa is valid for 3 months but I need to be back in the UK after less than 2 months.

4. Doing things this way are a police check, medical certificate and 1 year medical insurance unnecessary?

Will be very grateful for any advice.

Many thanks,

Peter Owen

Hi all.

I have a marriage visa that I need to do my first extension of in December. The original visa was processed in Phuket, so the CM immigration office has told me I need to go there to do my first yearly extension. As for documents etc. are they the same as when I applied on the first place e.g. photos of us in the house? And if so, does immigration need to visit the house again (because we live in CM now, that might be an issue).

Thank you for any advice you can give.

I'm sure it has happened...my passport had to be renewed and my retirement visa is in the old passport....do I present the old one with the new one at thai immigration? Please let me know if you have experienced this
