Went from visa exemption stamp into Non-O 90 days thai child dependent visa in Thailand. Submitted the whole paperwork in 2 sets that is needed for the 1 year extension (hoping I could get one year straight away). Am I right to assume that for the 1 year extension I will have to resubmit everything even if it's the same immigration office? Couldn't ask the IO as he wasn't bothered. He also stamped me a 3 days earlier date. I didn't see it straight away, just thought it was a weird date for the visa expiry. But didn't want to test my luck by complaining. Also, if a new rental contract is needed does it have to start 3 months prior to extension date or on the date of extension for a year (like 30 days before expiration of Non O 90 days)? TIA
Hi guys ,I'm looking to move to Thailand to live with my Thai wife in January 2028 when Ill be retired I live in the UK at the moment,my pension will cover the 40,000 Thai baht.im just a bit confused about the banking requirements,I popped in to a Thai bank last month and they gave me a list of visa types that I can use to open an account with them but as I'll be paid from the UK state pension into my UK bank in pounds how can I transfer this money in to a Thai bank if I first need need a marriage visa to be able to open a Thai bank ? I need proof of the 40,000 before I can get a visa . Can I transfer the 40,000 from my UK bank to my wise account to show as proof for the visa requirement . Any info would be greatly appreciated.
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?
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.
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?
