Hi everyone. I am going to apply for 90 day non o marriage visa. I am in Chiang Mai. I entered visa exempt. Do I need to apply during the first 60 days (at least 21 days before visa exempt runs out)? Or is it possible to get a 30 day extension, and apply at least 21 days before the extension runs out? Thanks!

Hello, I am currently on a Non Immigrant ED Visa (University) which expires on December 20 and I am planning to switch to a DTV (Soft Power) while I am back in the USA (October - January).

Is it absolutley necessary that I cancel my ED Visa with Immigration in person before traveling to the USA and applying for the DTV? Or will I be okay to return to the USA and let it expire on its own while I am applying for the DTV.

Thank you so much for your help!

I do have a question about the 2/3 month seasoning before and the 3 month after on 800000 baht for a retirement extension. Is the date this measured on the date you apply/receive the extension or is it the start/end date of the extension?

Hi, I am 51 and my wife is 38 and we will be moving to Thailand in January.

Trying to get my head around which visa to apply for.

My wife will be my dependent.

For the OA visa, do both my wife and I need to have 800k thb in a bank account or, as it is a joint application, is it sufficient to have just have 800k thb in 1 account. Also, does it have to be in Thai Baht, or can it be in a foregn currency but the equivalent to 800k thb?

Can the OA visa be extended every year for a year in Thailand? Or do I have to go back to my home country to procure the letter of no criminal record and medical certificate?

For the OX visa, is it for 5 years or 10 years? On the Thai embassy site it says 5 years each time, total 10 years. Does this mean that after 10 years I would have to switch to the OA visa?

I am eligible as a UK national. My wife is a Russian passport holder. Is she eligible as my dependent?

And again, for the 3 million thb in a bank account, can this be in a foreign currency or does it have to be in THB?

Thank you so much for answering these questions and I apologise if they have been asked before, but I couldn't find any link.

First, thank you to everybody that contributes on Visa advice.   i’ve been in Thailand for eight months. I’ve been doing Visa runs along with the visit back to the USA.

 I’m using a Visa agent, star visa in Chiang Mai

 they helped me get married last week to a Thai lady.  now they say I have to go to their office in Laos  and get a Type O visa. 

 I already have the ฿400,000  in American dollars in  my Charles Schwab checking account. That account is only two months old.

 they’re telling me that they need to see that I’ve had  at least $1000 in my other checking account for the last three months. They didn’t tell me when I started this process two months ago. My average balance has been over $1000 but there’s been periods where it went less than 1000. Is this something that’s true

I have lived in Thailand for 8 years with a work permit and non-b. My bank accounts are all Thai, my drivers license, residency, utility bills, income... everything is all Thai. Will that be a problem as I switch to the DTV? Should I include my non-b and WP in my paperwork?
