Background: Anyone who has spent time in the ‘Rose of the North’ probably knows Chiang Mai immigration is notorious for being extremely busy with hundreds of people queuing per day starting before sunrise.

Lamphun office is tiny and barely sees anyone.

Question: if someone stays one night in Lamphun and gets the property to file a TM30, can you use the Lamphun office for an extension on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry?

It’s a 30 minute drive and rooms from 300฿. Why not have an overnight holiday to save spending 8-12 hours at immigration?

I’ve convinced my friends to try this so they don’t lose a day of their holiday.

Am I wrong? If so, the group will tell me quickly.

Apologies for another 90 day report question. If my original Non-B Visa was obtained at Chaengwattana, is it possible to do the 90 day report at another province for example Phuket immigration? Or can it only be done at Chaengwattana immigration?

TIA

Planning on entering from the US with a non OA visa. Will be staying with my son (US citizen teaching english) in Petchabun for approximately 3 to 6 months while determining where I want to live. How will this affect my TM30 and opening a bank account if I can’t show a lease agreement? Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I got an approved online retirement visa. Plan to make the move within 1-2 months.

Now, if I changed my mind and I would like to stay in a different place than what I've written in the application (Different apartment in a different city), do I need to inform them of this in advance, or can this be done after my arrival, when I'll go to the local immigration office to extend my visa to 1 year? TIA

Is it necessary to file TM 30 if I visited Bangkok for 3 days and returned to the same address as filed the in the TM 30 in Pattaya.

Hi all, I'm planning to soon go for my first non o marriage extension at Jomtien immigration. It seems a complex process with a lot of documents.

Think I've got everything but wondering about house requirements, We have a copy of tabian baan for my wife, she is registered at the family home in another province. This seems the requirement listed on official sites.

Seen someone say they will need a copy of the house book for where we live too? (contact landlord?) another post i have seen saying they needed copies of rental agreement and landlords ID signed by landlord?

Anyway any advice about this appreciated. If anyone has done this extension recently and has tips or info please let me know thanks.

Has anyone done a 90-day report with the DTV Visa in Bangkok?

If so:

- What's the process like?

- Where's the best place to do it?

- What documents should I bring?

- Do I need to do it in person or can I pay somebody else?

Thank you!

Apologies for my dimness... but... Having got a DTV, is there anything else one has to do when entering or staying in Thailand? (I mean in order to secure one's right to enter & stay in the country.). I got an email with a single page document entitled "THAI E-VISA" attached... (The document has a QR code on it.) I have printed that out and could of course show the electronic version on my phone...

Anything else? Thank you for any help/ instructions you can give me on this....

Hi folks , I'm thinking of applying for a soft dtv next year , my question is as this is a 5 year visa , if I move provinces is it just a matter of registering my new address or is it more complicated than that ? Would it affect my visa negatively?

TM30 Question.

So I recently returned from Thailand after saying a couple of months at a friends. I had no idea about the TM30 at the time and only been reading up on it now.

I know one wouldn't have been filed for me for my 2 month stay. And I will plan to return in a few months, can this cause any issues for me? Or just a genuine mistake.

Obviously I now know better this time around.
