My U.S. ten year passport expires in 18 months. When getting a renewel the number changes i think. With the DTV being five years would I simply inform the Thai consulate of the new number?

I’m living in Chiang Mai with my wife and our four children, all on DTVs. 90 days for us is next Thursday. Online isn’t available for the first report, and I opted to try in-person to see if it was as easy as I had been told. It was. I asked another expat for advice and was told to take passports, TM30s, and completed TM47s. I also took a print-out of our house lease agreement but wasn’t asked to show it. I didn’t take passport photocopies. I got to the drive-up window not long before 1:00; it was closed for lunch between 12 and 1. Several minutes later the window opened, and I gave the officer the stack of six passports (with TM47s loose and TM30s attached inside each one). It took him about three minutes to process all six of them and issue printed receipts. Please note that this is my experience in Chiang Mai today; no guarantee that this will work exactly the same in other places or at a later date. Also: our passports are stamped through Feb. 19, but, because I went in a week early for 90-day reporting (you can do it between 15 days before and 7 after the 90-day mark), the receipts show that we need to report again 90 days from today (Feb. 11), not 90 days from the 90th day (Feb. 19). So, if one wants to schedule a 180-day border bounce very close to a visa stamp date, don't report ahead of the 90-day date like I did unless you want to report twice before leaving the country.

Just Check in at Frankfurt Airport for Bangkok ...i stay 114 days No Visa...but they accepted my valid Laos Visa AS Proof of onward travel

I have a work permit and non-b visa (extension) on my UK passport.

I am currently outside of Thailand, but will return.

However I lost my UK passport, I also have an Irish passport (never used), are these connected in any way?

Or will I need to return on my Irish passport, somehow cancel my work permit and visa without my UK passport, and then re-apply on my Irish passport?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

I am currently on an METV visa that ends mid January and I would like to switch to a DTV and I have some questions to which I couldn’t find specific answers (sorry If I overlooked existing answers)

1- I was thinking of trying to get a DTV visa before my METV visa ends - does this impact the acceptance of the visa?

2- can I go to a neighboring country make the application and come back to Bkk with my METV visa before getting the DTV? Or I need to stay there and wait to get it?

3- for the 500k baht, should I get proof of having them in my current account or does it work if it’s in the savings part of the account?

4- do you know by chance, if I am on a DTV visa and at some point I want to do a volunteering work here, do I need to cancel the dtv and get the specific visa for volunteering ? Or can I can accumulate or sort of have a specific authorization to just do a non paid volunteering for a short period without invalidating the dtv?

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Does anyone know of a process of moving DTV e-visa to a new passport? Can it be done in Thailand or you need to go back to consulate where you received the DTV?

I am curious as to anyone's experience with the immigration office Chiang Rai.. Central mall?? easy ..... or difficult ?? thank you..

Is it possible to do "Retirement" type O Extension, 90 day Report, and Residence Cert. in one CW Bangkok IO visit?

Never tried before and wondering if Extension, then 90 Day, then Res. Cert. is the best sequence order.

Not sure about CW Extension timeline. If I have to give up my passport and wait a few days or a week for the "under consideration" time and the new Extension to be stamped into my passport then this plan would not be possible.

Alternatively, could I do the 90 day and Residence Cert. in and hour or so . ..and then when I have those finished, submit the Extension application and passport for consideration. ....and wait up to a week for the Extension stamped passport to be ready for pickup?

Doing a group search I found what I hope is a complete list of all the required docs for each step I need for a new address (old Extension was with Jomtien IO) with new TM30 and new rental agreement :

-- Signed stamped bank letter 800k

-- Signed stamped bank statement 800k

-- Lease

-- Picture front of the house with house #

-- Drawn or Google map of house location

-- House book/owner ID ?

-- Photo

90 day report (at new address)

-- TM47 90 day report application

-- Passport pages

-- Previous 90 day receipt (old address)

-- TM30 at new address

-- House book/owner ID ?

Residence certificate (new address; for Drv Lic )

-- Application from residence certificate

-- Passport pages inc. last extension (from today

-- Previous 90 day report (from today)

Do the lists above include all the required documents ?

Old Jomtien Extension of stay expires 2 August.

10 July would be 90 days from last entry at BKK airport from outside Thailand.

Hello Group, I am seeking anyone with experience or knowledge regarding changing visa status. Is there a required length of time that one must live in Thailand on any type of long-term visa before changing to a different visa after said visa expires? I am currently living in Bangkok via a Non-Immigrant O-A (Retirement) Visa. Earlier this year, I married my Thai Girlfriend (we had been dating for a little over 5 years) and I am considering changing my visa status to Non-Immigrant O (Marriage) Visa. It should be noted that my current visa will expire later this year, so I am researching my options before that time arrives. I have reached out to my local Immigrations Office, where I have spoken to 2 different officers whereas one officer didn't understand my question and transferred me to another officer who advised that I have to renew my current retirement visa at least once before I can change it to a marriage visa. So my understanding is I cannot change my visa status until I approach my second year of living in Thailand on my current visa.

Thanks in advance for alls answers provided regarding my question.

What are the fees for an agency to apply for 30 day extension please?
