Looking for advice on the cost of a work visa in pattaya and the best agent to use. I am married to a thai national.

I'm an Offshore Worker on a 28/28 day rotation I have previously travelled in and out if Thailand every 28 days on visa exemption and never had an issue but that was over 10yrs ago. Currently I travel to Thailand 3 or 4 times a year again on visa exempt and still never had an issue but I am reading more and more where multiple entrants are getting questioned and sometimes turned around, I do see that a lot of these are usually staying for the 60 days and applying for the extra 30.

My question is are there still rig pigs travelling in and out every 28 days on visa exemptions and not having any problems as Im considering doing that again so it would be 6 or 7 entries a yr.

Can Americans obtain background checks while residing in Thailand? My current background check is set to expire in five weeks, and I intend to apply for a different visa in Thailand. I believe it would be prudent to have more than a few weeks remaining on the background check, considering the unpredictable nature of the visa process, which could potentially take several weeks.

I’m going to apply for a workaction/DTV visa soon. I’ve got nearly 2 million THB in a savings account with monthly deposits of 50K THB, no further transactions (I got a current account for that). Is that an issue?

Hello, I will be traveling to Bangkok next month on business. So I will enter the country with my work visa. However, I would like to spend two weeks' vacation there afterwards. Can anyone tell me what I should indicate when entering the country? I am German .

A friend of mine is currently in the process of getting a work permit and visa whilst in Thailand. His tourist visa runs out on the 11th, and the company has just said he only needs a criminal background check to support his visa. He is wondering will he get the visa in time or if anyone has any experience with how quickly a criminal background check comes through.

Any advice would be beneficial.

He previously has had an education visa and has already gotten a tourist visa extension.

Hi all! Is there any way an agent could help me to start working? I’m a pastry chef, just wondering if that is something they can do.

Hi guys, I'm planning to fly out several days before the expire date of current visa. Can I apply immediately even if it's before the expiration date? (I think the current visa should be invalid immediately if I don't do re-entry?)

However I'd like to be sure if that's ok, or I should wait to apply after the expiry date?

I am coming through Suvarnabhumi airport in about a week. I have a work visa and I will have ~5 checked bags with me. Should I anticipate problems when I try to clear customs? If so, what should I anticipate?

Hi everyone! I’d love to get your thoughts on something. I’m based in Germany and work for a company that allows me to work remotely from many countries for up to 30 days (around 6 weeks) per year. Unfortunately, Thailand is currently on their list of restricted countries for remote work.

I checked with HR and they said that if I were to get the DTV visa, I *would* be allowed to work from Thailand. My contract states that my official place of work is Berlin, and the 30-day remote work allowance isn’t mentioned in the contract itself.

Given all this, do you think I stand a good chance of being approved for the DTV visa?

Thanks in advance for your input!
