Hi, I want to travel to Japan but need a visa for it. According to Japan Embassy's website, I need to show proof of long term residency in Thailand and a tourist visa will not suffice. Any idea if they would accept DTV? My nationality is Indian if it helps.

Question about the new TDAC form from May 1st

I don’t really have an issue with filling out the form itself, but I’m confused about one thing:

When selecting *country of residence*, it seems you can’t choose the Kingdom of Thailand.

What do you do if you are on a DTV - live here, pay tax here, and officially have residency here?

Choosing another country would technically mean lying on the form – any thoughts or experience with this?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Is it possible to sell a car in Bangkok using a residence certificate from another province

What type of documents indicate current location?

Hi all, looking for recommendations for a good tax accountant in Phuket (chalong) area if possible.

Will be changing my residency from Australian to Thailand for taxes and also have a company in Hong Kong where i currently get paid.

Ideal accountant would be across these expat situations, up to date with latest changes vs latest rumours and good english would be great as I'll have a lot of questions. Doesn't need to be the cheapest accountant, just a good one.

Hi,

Sorry for asking but i can't find answer about my case...

I entered by air on 8/7 visa exemption 30days

I wanna now to get an extension of it for 30days more.

I live with my girlfriend in a condo in Bkk

My question is: what's the right document she has to provide to proof my residence ?

And where is the right immigration office i have to go for it?

Thanks for answering 🙏🇹🇭

Hoping for some advice from someone who can talk from experience.

I’ve recently built and moved to my new home. Unfortunately it appears I’ve either misplaced or thrown out by mistake my passport and Thai bank books. What are the steps I need to take to renew a passport and transfer my present visa etc?

Clueless as I’ve never made this mistake before.

We’re two parents here on non-O (guardian) visas. Applied for our resident cards last week and going to open a bank account this week.

Do we EACH need 500,000 baht in a separate account (so $1M in totally) or can we have a joint account with 500K in it? If joint account is allowed, do we need to go for our extensions on separate days so that it’s not obvious it’s the same account?

Hey all, for Canadians that relocated to Thailand, what did you do with your address on your Canadian drivers license/snail mail? Did you change it to a relative's address, or something else? And anything else you need to do for your address regarding the government?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Residence registration question

Hi all. US passport here, on a 1-year retirement extension that began on December 26 2022 & expires Jan. 31, 2024. We’ve since bought a condo in Bangkok, & there was a delay in registering as the owner because the condo didn’t have a blue book - the number in the blue book is required to set up an account online. Once I got that blue book, I registered online as the owner.

The problem: I just now returned from traveling outside Thailand & am having problems registering myself online as staying at my own home.

My question: My original 90-day check in was set for March 27 - would it make sense for me to go immigration around that time, next week, & try to straighten out the whole thing re: online reporting of location? The system just will not allow me to complete that form online.

Thanks for any advice!
