59 year old retired from US.

Thai bank account with 800k soon to be funded. 6 weeks left on tourist visa. What do I need to get my OA visa? I'm near Laos, so going there isn't too difficult, if I have to. I have a Thai gf to help translate, and not looking to use agent.

Can I apply for 3 month while I'm Thailand and not leave? Or do I have to leave, apply, wait, and come back? Can I extend my tourist visa another month, which will give me time for 2 months with funds in account? What is best option?

I appreciate any help or tips that you can offer.

Hello,

I would appreciate anyone sharing their experience working with the THAI VISA CENTER to obtain a non-o visa. I am presently in Thailand on my 30 day tourist extension. I do not want to fly all the way back to my home country (USA), but would be happy to fly to any S.E. Asia location that has a Thai embassy that will allow me to apply for a non-o. Thank you for any thoughts you care to share.

Currently under a Tourist visa that expires in one month:

I need to extend and find the best visa for 6 months until October (become 50 and can get RTM).

DTV prices seem very expensive for 6 months.

I have had ‘ challengers’ at airport from immigration due to previous stamps.

What’s the best advise for a 6 month visa ….

Thank you

Hi all, is anyone aware if you can book your DTV visa extension appointment online?

Immigration's online booking system doesn't have an option for "DTV visa extension".

Is it wise to book a "Tourist Visa (TR) Extension" or another category, or do DTV holders have to go to Immigration without a booking?

If you leave Thailand during the 60-day tourist visa period - say for a week - and the 60 day period ends while you’re out of the country, do you need the 30-day extension before you leave, or when you return? All input appreciated.

Is TM30 an absolute requirement for tourist visa 30 day extension?

UPDATE: went to LAK SI Immigration office for the 30 day extension and a TM30 was NOT required.

I did provide my lease agreement in lieu and it was sufficient. However, I too would recommend getting a TM30 just to be safe. Thanks all for your help below!

I will be starting dental treatment 2 March. My tourist visa expires 31 March. Am I able to apply for a dtv while still in Thailand. Or does this have to be done back in my home country.

Just saw this article.

Thought it might be helpful.

Apologies if this question has already been asked (don’t want to scroll through all past questions to check).

I am looking for some clarity on the application process for a DTV visa (the remote worker one, based in Thailand working for a company outside of Thailand). If someone was already in Thailand on the 60 day visa exempt, could they travel to a neighbouring country after the 60 days and apply for the DTV visa from there? Say Vietnam for example. Or does it have to be applied for from their home country (in this case the UK)?

Also can the 60 day visa exempt be extended at an immigration office for 1,900 THB for another 30 days (90 in total) or is 60 days the max?

Thanks 🤞

Hey guys ! I m trying to gather all informations about DTV, I am currently in Thailand, with a tourist visa entry, I was hoping to get the best alternative to apply, if I understood good, you can’t apply for Thailand if you area already here ? What would be the best procedure and steps to follow? To extend my visa and leaves the country by the end of it apply from a border country? Ida there any “better” country to do this from? Thank you for your help, it’s highly appreciate ☺️
