Hello,

We would love to move to Thailand for 8-12 months with our 2 kids ( 7&10) I have a remote job, however we do not have savings for a DVT visa. Is there any other way to stay in Thailand for that long? Is it easy to extend a 60 days visa. We are from the UK and the cost of living is really getting to us as a family. We would love to give our boys some freedom and explore Asia. Thanks for all your help and advice!

I would like to have no pressure entry up to 6 months a year in split entry,

I am retired have income and have owned a condo in Bangkok since 2016 ..

I have been on an education visa the last 2 years. And had about 6 years of work visa and work permit before I took an online job. I am trying to figure out what I should do as my visa expires January 2027 but my education visa ends march 15 I believe. I would like to graduate to a longer term visa. If anyone in pattaya knows where I can go to speak with someone I would greatly appreciate it. I really don’t want to have any issues as I have always done and paid everything on time and haven’t done border runs unless I was renewing a visa. If someone in pattaya has an office I could come to please let me know I’m in such a strange position as my lease ends next month. Thank you

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on Thailand visa options in a difficult personal situation.

I’m currently in Thailand on a spouse-based visa, but due to a serious relationship breakdown (infidelity and separation), my wife has asked for space and limited communication.

I cannot remain legally dependent on another person, so I need to transition to an independent visa as soon as possible.

I have time until 31 July 2026, sufficient funds, and I work remotely / run my own business.

Could anyone advise on:

• Viable visa options in this situation

• Whether conversion is possible without leaving Thailand

• Recommended visa agents or lawyers

I’m not looking for relationship advice — only legal/immigration guidance.

Thank you in advance

Im landing in BKK on the 1-12-25, I want to stay a minimum of 90 days in TH, I’m 71 y/o I’ll have travel/health insurance,. I’ve got 3 options,1- enter visa exempt and extend it by 30 days to give me 90 days,.2-enter with a TR visa from uk giving me the same options,.3-entering with an o retirement visa giving me 90 days, what would you recommend ?.

Hello, anyone here explored long term visa options similar to DTV in Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines or Vietnam ? Thanks !

Is there any visa that Ethiopian passport holders can get for a 6 month or 1 year stay?

The language school I spoke with in Hua Hin said immigration excludes Ethiopian nationals from that visa.

I have been on paid administrative leave since February 1, in a DOGE deal to retire September 30 (thank you US taxpayers!) I have not worked since February but receive full pay and benefits. I will have all my O-A visa paperwork ready next week. I will arrive BKK October 25. I don't see anything that says I must already be retired. Consulate says "This type of visa may be issued to applicants aged 50 years and over who wish to stay in Thailand for a period of not exceeding 1 year without the intention of working. Holders of this type of visa are allowed to stay in Thailand for 1 year. Employment of any kind is strictly prohibited." Do they mean working in Thailand? I'd like to submit my package early September but maybe I wait till Oct 1?
