Good day everyone.

I've just been approved for a non o retirement visa. I applied in the UK. My Thai wife is with me. We are planning to return to Thailand late May.

What are the next steps I need to do to get the 12 months extension. Do I need to go to the British embassy? Do I need to get my passport translated?

Please explain to me in simple terms please. TIA

An update on transferring stamps to new passport for Thai wife extensions at KORAT immigration. Wife must attend, photocopy all pages of old passport and photocopy picture page of new passport. First do new TM30, separate building. It's not possible to do TM30 with new passport online. Then normal building for transfer of stamps. ! I hope this makes sense.

Hi everyone, I'd love to get some advice from people who have experience with the Thailand retirement visa.

Here's my situation: I'd apply for a Non-OA (retirement) visa from my home country — the 3-month entry type. Once in Thailand, I'd extend it for a full year at Immigration and file a TM30 for my rental address. I'd sign a lease for roughly 5–6 months, which covers the period I'd actually be staying.

After that, I'd need to return home for family reasons — but I'd come back before the extension expires, get a new place, file a new TM30, and apply for another annual extension. Before leaving Thailand I'd also get a re-entry permit so the extension stays valid while I'm abroad.

I have two specific concerns I'd love your input on:

1. Does Immigration require a lease that covers the full 12 months when granting a 1-year extension? Or is a shorter lease (5–6 months) acceptable? I've heard some offices ask for proof of address for the entire extension period.

2. During the months I'm back home, there would be no active TM30 on file for me in Thailand — since my lease would have ended and I wouldn't have a new address yet. Is that a problem? Does Immigration expect a TM30 to be on file at all times, even when you're not physically in the country?

Any firsthand experience or advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Hi all after my DTV remote worker approval

I’ve been in Thailand almost 3 months

I have my first 90day report due end of this week but I also have to fly from Koh Samui to Phuket hospital for a procedure

so am a little overwhelmed

wanted advice from those who’ve done their first 90day report on

what I need to organise and bring/show

as I’ll be flying straight out to hospital after so I can’t get anything wrong 🙏

I have a couple of questions about a renewal of an extension of stay based on retirement.

1. Is it possible to move the annual date to a time where I will be more regularly in Thailand ( from April to July)

2. Can I do this extension while traveling around Thailand on a holiday?

3. If I am at the address on my TM30 do I need to provide the following to immigration... house book, ID card of landlady and rental agreement. I don't have any of these things but I am not sure if I need them?

Thank you!!

Do you need to go to immigration do you need to make appointment

Do condo owners in Bangkok usually fill out the TM30 form easily? Should I get a photocopy of the owner’s ID and a copy of the property ownership document? Do they usually provide these documents without any issues? Should I request these documents from the real estate agent I rented the place from?
