Hi, with regard to marriage registration.....I have the affidavit and certified copy of my passport from the Canadian embassy and I know we need to go to a department of consular affairs to register the marriage. Questions:

1. Do we both need to go together or can just one of us go?

2. Does it matter which office we go to? Normally we are in Bangkok, but we will be in Chumphon next week (where we will get married). My wife's ID card shows Chumphon but she lives in Bangkok

I'm returning to Canada on the 22nd and I could book an appointment for the 21st in the Bangkok office, but it wouldn't be convenient for my wife to attend (hence question 1)

Hiya my friends, I am from USA but have business & work permit in Laos & go to Thailand a lot for hospital/stay/buy things, would applying for DTV be good idea & straightforward? Thank you for any advice

Just wanted voice my appreciation for this group and how helpful it is. Managed to open a bank account with my Non-O Visa. All the info on here has been invaluable, only got one knock back for a ridiculous reason, ie middle initial on my driver license wasn’t acceptable. Next bank, no problem. Shout out to Brandon Thurkettle for answering mine and a lot of newbie questions. For anyone in BKK in the same situation. Go to main Bangkok Bank at Emporium on Sukhumvit. Not sure if it will help, but I went on Sunday at 1pm, and I was the only customer. Best of luck to y’all

Hi friends! Is it advisable to apply for the DTV Visa in the states before heading to Thailand???

Had a fantastic visit to Jomtien immigration office last Monday for 90 day report. I had pre-filled the T47. In and out in less than 50 minutes, including photo copying. Well done to immigration for a speedy and efficient visit. Thanks

Is there anybody in this group from Thai Visa concern government officials?

Can anyone recommend a legal firm or agent that can answer some immigration questions that are a bit convoluted ? I need answers that are facts and not opinion. Prefer Krabi, Bangkok or Los Angeles. Thanks much. "Siam Legal" emailed me the "very helpful" "Contact a Thai Immigration office".

People need to be given an IQ test before being allowed to ask questions in the group, the amount of stupid repative questions is getting ridiculous, but dose give me pleasure answering their stupid question with a stupid answer lol

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all and many thanks for all the advice given over the last year, very helpful, soon to be retired Non bua lam phu

Can someone with proper knowledge of these things confirm that the cut off date to avoid Tax residence is 179 days per calendar year … thanks in advance
