Hello, Sawadee Kap, I have a friend (french) who is retired in Thailand. He was abroad in France and had an accident which means he could not travel back before his "Visa O" expired. He is now back to Thailand and panicked that he has lost his status.

I am looking for any information that I could share with him. Thank you very much.

For those needing information about filing for your 90 day stay notification this is what I found on the Thai Immigration site - I just completed my first filing (did the whole thing online) - very straight forward and took me approximately 10 minutes.

Hi everyone! I completed my 90-day report online today. This is my first time doing the 90-day report online. I have done it before a few times, but under a Student visa, and this is my first time under a DTV visa. After I filled out and submitted the form online, I received an email(see photos) - does it mean my 90-day report was approved? Do I still have to go to the immigration? TIA

Went to Kasikorn bank yesterday and got my letter from them and my updated pass book after 1 transaction and my bank statement. 30 mins and no problems. Today I went to immigration for the purpose of obtaining my years extension of stay following on from my non o visa. 3 hours waiting in the queue and 30 mins for the immigration officer to process the paperwork. No problems. No Agent used. MEV also attained. Everything went smoothly and now sorted. Just info for Everyone , if you do things correctly, it's a doddle. Good luck to all.

Hello folks! DTV extensions in Phuket. Who’s tried it, and what was your experience? Based on initial research I’m expecting to meet friction.

But even a single successful extension would give enough confidence to try.

Otherwise I’m just going to mini-vacay in KL.

TIA

P.s. was just admitted to the group today, so my apologies if this was already covered. 

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.
