I’ll be arriving in Thailand via a land border with Cambodia in a few days, as I’m traveling by bike. I was planning to renew my passport in Bangkok (Canadian citizen). My passport still has 6 months and 3 weeks validity. I was planning to spend around 6 weeks in Thailand before heading to Malaysia. Anyone knows if I could encounter any problems getting the 2 months entry stamp at the border?
My work permit will be cancelled on the 31st December following redundancy.
My passport has a multiple entry stamp until July but I understand this will be cancelled too and I’ll have 7 days to leave the country after the WP is cancelled.
What is the simplest/most cost effective way to leave and re-enter while I continue to job hunt?
Need some DTV advice, I apologize beforehand if this may be a long post.
My details:
1. I’m looking to become a remote worker (video editor) but I don’t have any freelance work coming in currently. I have an online portfolio which shows my work but that’s about it right now. My last paying job was one that I had in the US (not remote) last year before I got laid off.
2. I have enough in savings for the minimum 500K Baht.
3. I’m interested in Muay Thai but haven’t trained anywhere yet.
4. I also have a dental implant I need to get done.
5. I’m currently in Thailand but will be going to Vietnam in a few months for a few months.
6. I will be turning 50 next April.
So my main questions are as follows:
Which category should I apply with? Can I apply for several i.e Remote worker and need a dental implant?
Should I apply from Vietnam or when I return to the US? Does online or embassy applying make it easier?
Should I just get the retirement O-A Visa when I turn 50 next year over the DTV?
Hi, just double checking something quick. I'm like 20k baht short for my Non-Immigrant O due to the horrible exchange rates currently, so I'm forced to do another border run.
I've only done one border run this year which I extended by 30 days and then another 60 days under "family extension" (my thai wife). I should still be able to do another border run, despite this 60 day family extension I've done, right?
I was in the land transport office (Chiang Mai) and they were quite happy to issue a 5 year Thai driving license, providing of course the usual conditions were met (previously holding a 2 year etc) for me as a DTV holder.
Was curious how that would work out as the Elite / Privilage visa often is denied this ability. They also knew about the LTR and said they would allow a 5 year for those also.
