Is it still possible to get a 12 month multi entry non-o based on marriage visa? Last year I got this from Savannakhet. I've looked on the Savannakhet website and also on this new e-visa website and there is no mention of this. It only details a single entry non o 90 day visa. Thanks in advance for any responses.
I had (and have had for a decade) yearly extension visa for marriage to Thai husband. I exited Thailand for the summer and had totally forgot my re-entry, so annoyed, I only realised and my flight is in a day. I can come in on the tourist stamp for 60 days (Uk citizen) but to apply for non o Imm visa to restart my marriage visa, do I have to do it out of country? For example, with e-visa I see you have to stay the full duration in the country you’re applying from. Do I have any other options? Like if I apply for a tourist visa in UK now and it is approved in a few days when I’m in Thailand on the 60 day tourist stamp, can I then use this Uk issued tourist visa if I exit and enter Thailand? Sorry for the length and ignorance!
I got medical procedure planned for this year, and since that will put me out of business for at least 3 to four months, I will do it in Thailand, so I can get nurtured back to health by my wife .
No I'm thinking about flying to Laos first
Get a two months visa at immigration there, and after surgery, go to immigration in my town to get extension (with a letter from my doctor )
Or
Go straight to Thailand
Get visa exempt, and than go immigration, with a letter from the doctor.
What is the best option.
Going to the embassy in my home country is kinda complicated, since I work offshore, and need to have my passport with me at all times.
Apologize in advance if this has been asked before. I'm 52, I'm planning to move to Thailand. I did my research but got me a bit overwhelmed by what visa i should apply for. A friend advised me to get a ED visa since i wanted to learn Thai. Does it require a certain amount in your bank balance to show as well?
Are there exceptions to the age (I believe it’s 50) with the retirement visa?
I have a set income monthly that more than meets the financial requirements of the visa that isn’t a “working” income. But I’m 43 years old. Does anyone know if there are any exceptions or any other options for me to look into?
Not looking to work in Thailand. Would love to stay at least one to 5 years, if not longer depending on visa options. I just haven’t found anything that fits with situation yet.
I'm looking for a bit of visa advice. My wife is Thai (dual Thai/US citizenship and dual passports). We own a condo in Hua Hin and a few pieces of land, all of which are in her name since she's Thai. We visit occasionally (just returned from a 6 week visit) and plan to return to our condo for about 6 months starting next January. After that, we plan to visit more frequently and eventually we will probably want to live there permanently. Oh yes, I'm retired and neither of us is concerned about employment in Thailand; we just want to live there. Any suggestions regarding my visa?
I saw that a retirement visa is an option to move to Thailand.... my husband is 51, so he can get one, but I am only 48... wo uld i still be able to get one since I will be with him? Any advice at all, helps. Thank you!🥰
I’m considering the ED vs the DTV. My husband and I both want to learn Thai, but I also intend to work my remote job (I’m an independent mental health practitioner with a virtual practice). I’m reading that I would not be ALLOWED to work, even remotely, if I chose the ED route. The intention with choosing the ED route is to extend the total time we are able to stay…I would pick up the DTV after my ED is completed and my husband would come as my dependent. What problems or issues would you foresee? What advice would you offer? And is this something I should attempt to navigate without any professional guidance from someone who practices immigration law here in the USA? Side note to add, I’m planning for the future, not an immediate move. I’m also hoping that you guys can offer some advice on locations we should visit when we come as tourists (for 2 weeks or so) that would help us determine the area we want to focus on to settle in. We will be prioritizing safety, amenities, affordability and proximity to a school and an embassy or immigration office for future business.
