Just a quick question if anyone can help. When you apply for a 12 month extension of a non O student visa and guardian visa is this normally issued on the day of application ? There is normally no under consideration period ? Thanks in advance

Does anyone have an up to date, English language list of requirements needed by Jomtien immigration for a 1 year extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai?

I've just been in and all they have is a list printed in Thai which seems strange as surely everyone who wants to apply will be non Thai?

With the best will in the world this isn't something my wife could confidently deal with.

I have my DTV. Do I still need to apply for the online Thai Visa Arrival Card? Yikes, $79!

Praise report!

Yesterday I went to immigration at Chiang Rai Central Plaza to get my yearly Non-O retirement extension.

I had all the correct paperwork, took a number, waited about 10 minutes, submitted my paperwork to the very pleasant IO, paid my 1,900 baht and received my new stamp.

All up around 40 minutes!

Very pleasant and efficient service!

Well done Chiang Rai Immigration Office.👏👏👏

Although I've been living in Thailand for almost a year, I'll soon have to go for my first 90-day report. I used to do everything with a "BORDER RUN," but for the past few months, I've had a "retirement visa."

I know that for a visa extension, you can go three weeks in advance to renew your visa.

Now, I have three questions about this...

1. Can I go two or three weeks earlier? Or does it have to be on the specific date of the piece of paper they stapled to my passport?

2. What documents do I need to have ready?

3. How does it work?

Does anyone have any specific advice? FYI. My immigration office is in Bangkok near Don Meuang apt. I know you can do it online from the second 90-day period onward. But I heard you have to go there the first time.

Hey there! Could you share what the process and paperwork are for the 90day immgration check-in for DTV holders in Thailand? I'm in Koh Samui. Thanks!

I am trying to change my tourist visa to a non-o retirement visa.. I live in Nonthaburi but was going to try Bangkok, has anyone done this? I will be a walk-in appointment since there are no appointment’s available online.

How long was the wait to see immigration officer in Bangkok?

Hi, looking for advice on a possible plan I have

Myself and my wife are moving to Thailand in March for a few years, both over 50, British and no intention of working

We have the money to put the 800k each in bank accounts, I believe we need 2 separate accounts

Now when we arrive in March we will have about a week where we are setting before 2 weeks travel away for the area (long booked and can't really change)

The issue is opening bank accounts and getting the money in early enough, plan is to arrive on 90 day "Non O on basis of retirement )

As we will be hotels for the first 3 weeks this sounds a bit tight

We visit for a holiday, staying in a rented villa, in November for 15 nights

Would it be possible to get a 90 day Non O for that trip and sort our bank accounts out? we could then transfer the money with plenty of time to spare

Not sure if that would be an issue to get another 90 day non O 5 months later? Also I cant get the 800k each in you UK accounts until month end so they won;t have been there for the 3 months prior to applying in the UK, the will have been well over 65k thb a month deposited in each account for a long period though

If possible what paperwork do I need from accommodation and anything else to help with bank accounts or is it easier just to use an agent for the accounts? not sure what they currently charge for this

If we leave it all until we arrive in March I assume I can't do anything when we arrive in March and this would leave us with only 2 month to deposit and season the funs

Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks

Last week, I received practical advice from a couple of members here, so I thought I would share my experience with my first in-person 90-day report at Chiang Mai Immigration. I hope this information helps anyone who may need it in the future.

You only need to pull up your car to the drive-thru window, submit a completed TM47, a TM30 issued by your landlord (if you are a tenant), and your passport. It's free of charge, and it only took me two minutes. I drove away with my passport and a receipt of notification.

Before going, I didn't have a TM47 form with me, so the officer gave me a blank TM47 during the first round and told me to drive out, fill in the form, and come back to the line. The 90-day report drive-thru at Chiang Mai Immigration Office has two windows: one for drivers in automobiles and another for applicants on foot.

I am currently at immigration office in Hua Hin. Tm30 required documents are as follows

Passport and visa stamp , blue book , TDAC number , house ownership copy. Original stays with lawyer , E- visa. This is a lot easier than the online service and completed by myself
