Thanks group! So far you’ve been invaluable. Will post my full experience soon. But….

I’m waiting for my 90 day Non O - to - Marriage visa extension to be approved. I’ve done everything, post 45 days immigration office visit. Then, my home visit 7 days later… etc.

My decision date is mid June. .. but, my mother is very unwell, she has dementia, sadly. So I need to fly back to the U.K for 5 nights next week. I’ll buy the re-entry permit that I’m required to of course, and I’ll be be back in Thailand at least 10 days before my immigration appointment for my marriage extension conclusion.

Is this ok?

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Hi all. So I have a friend who used an agent to apply for his evisa. They flagged his application lately and asked him to attend a physical interview , and the agent keeps on saying he should wait . Has anyone ever encountered such a situation, he had made flight reservations for next week. Is it possible that he’ll still get the visa maybe next week latest? Thank you all .

Dtv visa as a spouse applying in dc. Received additional request for documentation. Bank statement specifically. My statement does not come out till the end of the month. How long do I have to upload requested docs? Anyone know? thanks in advance.

Can you enter Thailand with tourist visa before the DTV is approved?

I fly in 4 months to thailand can i make my dtv now already or its to early?

Subject: Request to Reschedule DTV Interview Appointment

Hello,

I am currently in Vientiane and recently received a visa appointment scheduled for next week. However, an urgent business meeting has come up, and I cannot wait until then.

Is it possible to reschedule my interview appointment? I have tried emailing and calling all the contacts listed on the embassy website, but I have not received any replies.

I would appreciate any advice you can provide.

Thank you!

I have business in usa and I got payroll for $3500 also it's retail business can I get the dtv visa?

Hi members

Any word yet on 60 days visa exempt going back to 30 days.. if it stays at 60 days can still use my Australian passport and get 30 day

Extension ..

And no need to do E Visa.

I can show immigration where I'm staying in Thailand

Thank you for accepting me to the group. I do have a question and couldn’t find the answer. For the retirement visa, will one of us have to have $24k or will each of have to have $24k in the bank? Thank you.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

NEW REQUIREMENT TO BUY A TOURIST VISA FROM EMBASSIES

There is a LOT of misinformation about this topic going around out on the inter-web right now (not surprising :O )

Sadly, it's 100% due to people using bad terminology when they talk about entering thailand :O

SO

Let's sort out two completely different things FIRST

60 day visa exempt entry <- you show up here without having bought ANY visa from a thai consulate and you get stamped in FREE for 60 days on the visa exempt entry program (on July 15th 2024 it went from 30 day visa exempt entry to 60 days)

Currently, people from 90+ countries get that if they show up without having a visa in their passport to thailand. Visa Exempt entry stamps usually have the code ผ.60-ม.17.

A Visa Exempt entry is not a tourist visa, it's not a visa at all, it's nothing but a free 60 day entry stamp. This is not affected by the proof of funds rule change.

Tourist Visa entry <- this is where you BUY a tourist visa from a thai consulate using the online eVisa website before you come to thailand.

When you arrive you are stamped in for 60 days under the TR60 entry stamp.

This IS affected by the proof of funds rule change and now to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here you must show proof of funds (20k baht or the equivalent) as a requirement

One last time FREE 60 day entry stamps are NOT affected by this rule change, you ONLY show proof of funds if you decide to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here...

AND (just so everyone knows)

There is no update on when/if the current 60 day free entry might change back to 30 days. The government talked about it, had press releases about it but at this time nothing has been decided at all
