having delays in getting my marriage visa extension, because my property owner is procrastinating in providing documents.

Specifically, the proof of purchase or chanote for the property I'm living in. We provided everything else, tabien baan Ids etc. but IO (jomtien) said we need this too, was otherwise happy with my application.

A bit concerned as owner/agent is not responsive to me after days. Wondering what my options are if they don't provide it before my visa expiry in start of may, obviously songkran means immigration is closed next week too.

If i leave the country in May can I get another non-o 90 day (thai spouse) then re-enter?

My lease expires soon so could potentially move to another property that's could be more helpful. A bit stressful overall, any help appreciated thanks.

Hey all!

I’m planning on moving to Thailand permanently from the US in 2-3 months and starting to think about which visa is the best to get.

I’ve been thinking about the Education Visa. Has anybody here done that? I heard it’s possible they might not let me extend it to a different visa after that year is up. True/false?

DTV visa - pros/cons?

Retirement visa - I am not pulling social security yet so I don’t have passive income. Is this still even an option? (I’m 50 years old.)

Tourist visa runs every 60/90 days. Is this really sustainable over years?

Thank you so much for any insight!

Hi! Thank you for welcoming me into your group. I am a therapist in MA and looking to move to Thailand around this time next year with the plan to work remotely with my current clients. I am a single mom with a daughter who will be graduating from high school next year. As I continue to do my research, I was told that the best visa option for me to pursue would be the DTV as it would allow me to work remotely and remain in the country longer before having to renew. Along with the other requirements, is this the best course to pursue? Thanks.

I am 51 from the UK. Struggling a bit to secure a job in Chiangmai - all English teaching jobs require a degree (which I don’t have) plenty of other qualifications including TEFL and over 20 years experience working with children. Not easy to secure work. Any ideas for work, visas etc to get me there as quickly as possible. Any help or advice much appreciated

Hello, I have a DTV visa that I need to get stamped outside of Thailand.

So I'm going to Ranong in 3 days to do this, but I'm hearing two conflicting options.

One comes from a local who offers his services for 2,600 baht with the speedboat that departs from Ranong Pier, including the Myanmar visa fee.

The other version says there's no visa on arrival, and that I have to apply for an e-visa online, which takes a maximum of 3 days to receive by email.

Which version is correct, please?

Thank you for your answers.

What does this group think about the Thailand Privilege Card? Is it worth the cost? Or overpriced and not worth it?

I’m 50, retired, and pensioned. I want to apply for a Visa in Thailand but I’m not sure of the best route to take. The plan is to retire in Thailand and live long-term. Any informed advice is appreciated. Thank you! 🙏🏼
