I have a friend who is 19, and he's here in Thailand with his father. His passport is absolutely full of stamps because he used to go to school in Gibraltar when he lived in Spain.

The problem now is that he's overstayed his visa, and he wasn't able to get an extension because his passport is literally out of space for any more stamps.

The extension was due on the 29th of July, and now it's the 11th. So we're looking at the best route to get him a new passport and to help him renew his visa and extend it before the end of the month.

We’re also considering just paying the overstay fine and then having him fly out of the country and return to Thailand on a tourist visa again.

In Chiang Mai, so thinking Flight to Vietnam.

But whats the most rapid way to get a new passport with space

I've been living in Thailand for 3yrs on a retirement visa. I am now married, have pink id card and yellow house book, my extension is up in Jan 26.

When do I change my visa to married, now or wait until January and do I go to Australian embassy in BKK or Phetchabun immigration?

On the 90 day reporting to immigration, this will be my first time to report , therefore my question is , do I just calculate out the 90 days from when I entered the country or does immigration notify you ? , thank you in advance for any feedback back .

My first 90 day report is on 24th Aug. I’d like to go in earlier, how many days prior to that date can I go in?

Edit: Cheers to those that answered. Sorted 👍

I lost all my TDAC information. Where can I retrieve my TDAC number to update my trip details? If you know, please let me know.

In need for help for agent Marriage visa / certifying and translation of passport and marriage certificate to thai and obtaining the family registration Kor ror 22. Especially the Hong Kong passport to be certified because there is no Embassy in Thailand that can do that!

Hi all! I am trying to do my 90 day report and my landlord told me to register online for the TM30 (she is very old and not comfortable with internet).

I registered and got approved on the immigration website to get my TM30 but they did not send me the PDF. Is that normal? Can I go without it to the immigration office and they can see my registration online? Or is there something not normal here?

Thanks!

I am 53 and planning to move with my fiancé to Hua Hin from the USA in March 2026. Originally we were advised to wait until then because he turns 50 on Feb 28, that we should enter on tourist visas and apply for the non-O when we get there, and that we shouldn’t worry about being married or not.

But now, I’ve been told that we should get married and apply for the non-O before he turns 50 because he would qualify as my dependent. (I still am not sure about when/where to apply for the visa.)

Recommendations? Thanks!

TRANSFERRING STAMP FROM OLD TO NEW PASSPORT

This is my experience with immigration in Bangkok.

I got my DTV when my passport was 9 months to expiration. In the visa field “Note” they reported the date of my passport’s expiration.

I got my new passport at the embassy and been told to go to immigration to transfer the stamp.

At immigration they have a form for this operation. Just fill the fields with the info of the old and new passport and that’s it. In addition you have to provide a copy of the bio page of old and new passport and a copy of the stamped page of the old passport. Also copy of the visa stamp/pdf file for e-visa like DTV. Moreover they tell you to provide a copy of the TM as well. There is no specification on which TM to provide. Given my experience, I suggest you to provide every kind of TM you have, such as TM 6, TM30 or 90days report if available.

The procedure was straight forward at counter J (tourist affair) but they didn’t like my TM30, even if it was all good for the 90days report I did before. I think the reason is that my field of “Check out date” was empty (even if it is an optional field).

I explained that I’m the owner of the condo, so I don’t have a check out date. Hence they wanted a copy of every page of the ownership document (the big paper) and the house book. Luckily I had pics in my phone, so I just printed them out. And they get the house book page from the server of the TM30 (you need to upload it when you do it).

It was a bit of a surprise but every IO was nice and friendly. Just took time and luck to have the additional documents at hand and made them printed out.

New passport is now stamped with the reference number of old passport, entry date and future exit date.

Out of curiosity I asked for the extension. They told me I had to provide every single document of the application (probably updated). When I said I was on a 1 year Muay Thai course, after a few seconds chat among them, they said I was not eligible for extension. Probably I could try my luck as they discussed really few seconds and not analyzing the case deeply, but mostly likely the answer would still be no.

Hi! I recently got back from vacation and when myself & my daughter showed the airport immigration agent our DTV’s she literally laughed & mockingly asked “ what will we do in 6 months when it’s time to renew our visas! “ But get this, she stamped both of our passports for only a 3 month stay & not 6 months like our DTV’s grant us. Please be aware of what’s being stamped on your passports too! And if anyone has advice on how to avoid this, please share.
