I was born in Udorn Thani, but raised in America. My mother is Thai. What would I need if I want to move to Thailand?

As a Dutch citizen, can I start applying for the retirement visa, so the Non Immigrant O-90 days visa, from India? Or only from the Netherlands?

And second, if I would do this process in Thailand, would the only problem be opening a bank account?

Thank you 🙏

I want to extend my tourist visa for an additional month. I would like to know the required documents. Also, I want to know if I can change it to a family visa afterward.

Update: My DTV was approved on April 8th!

Thank you so much to everyone in this group for the invaluable advice and support throughout the process. Good luck to everyone still waiting!

P.S. would recommend staying in Australia until you receive a decision.

Hi guys! I submitted my DTV application (soft power Muai Thai) on March 6th in Australia (Canberra) and included my Australian visa as well as my VEVO to indicate I was onshore when I submitted the application. And today they requested me to upload the VEVO again. Does anyone know what this is about?

Entrance Experience

Made another entrance with my (workcation) DTV. This time at BKK. Flawless process. Used the thai line with my gf for the first time and we were through in 5mins. No questions asked, as always.

Officer scanned my evisa printout which not happened before (as far as i remember).

Only issue that the immigration officers seem to have is to find my last stamp(s).. it is a mess in my passport since a few years ago many officers only stamped 2x per page and then suddenly they started to fill gaps, so it is all over the place now…

Had a strange encounter at BKK Airport last night. I assume the IO was having a bad day or something.

The line was taking very long and some people were also longer than usual.

Arrived presented passport, she asks for visa and I provided print out.

Looks at the screen ask what I’m doing here I said holiday workcation, she asked what type visa I apply I said dtv for digital nomad.

Starts taking photos of her screen and seemed very hesitant to stamp. This took about 15 minutes.

After she stamped I asked what was the problem, and she rudely replied “Up to me not you!”

She handed back my passport and visa and I went through.

Never experienced anything like it before.

Was just returning to thailand after spending 4 weeks back home in Australia.

Hi I’m looking for advise on completing TM.7 question, - period of temporary stay in the Kingdom for …….. days

Would that be 365 days?

And reason for extension? Is Retirement a valid answer

I'm looking at retirement in Thailand in March. I am taking my pet with me and advised to get the online 90 tourist visa and then apply through a agent for the retirement visa. Will the 90 visa be a problem with my pet.

This might be a stupid question but when I retire in Thailand are you allowed to travel the whole country and do your 90 reporting in different province then and the other stuff as well and what about your bank account please take it easy on me im only new

Submitted the 90 Day reporting online-was rejected. 1. was done 12 days before actual due date (so within the 1st 7 days guideline for online). 2. The rejection email stated '1st time .. have to be inperson " etc etc.. However, this is the 2nd time application as the first time was already done inperson. Question - is a walk in to the Chonburi immigration office the only option to sort this out. ?
