I'm from the U.S. and received an non-o visa from the Royal Thai Embasy in L.A. last October. MY flight was delayed and it expired before I arrived in Thailand. Can I re apply for it here in Thailand. I've been married to a Thai national for 5 years and we have all the documents with us. Someone said I have to leave to re apply??? Why?

Hello, I plan to go to Vietnam in the 10th month of my first year on a non-immigrant OA visa. I will stay in Vietnam for 3 months. When I cross back into Thailand, will my visa expire? Or will it be renewed for a second year? Thank you.

Has anyone ever been REFUSED to exit Thailand??? Today I drove all the way from Korat to the friendship boarder in Laos .. my visa was good until the end of today so I’m not over staying .. I was to depart Thailand to go make a proper non o visa online while in Laos.. the female immigration officer refused to let me leave! Even having all the documents to support my intention of the Non O Visa.. She did mention about doing repeat visa runs, last entry I returned from China by air … which is fine I’m leaving to go get the proper visa. I understand not being let back in, but not being able to leave, she told me to go get a flight out. Also should mention the same thing happend to a few others while I was there.

Once the DTV is granted can I wait 6 months before entering Thailand? (family commitments).

Hoping for some advice...

My husband is currently on a 1-year retirement visa. Now the change in law means he can apply for a dependent visa as I have a 1-year work visa. He's applying via UK embassy e-visa, and we'll go across to Vietnam and reenter to activate it. His current retirement visa expired on 4th Nov. If he leaves on the 4th and enters in the 5th, will that cause any issues? My HR dept. is saying he would need to go to immigration and get the cancelled stamp on the retirement visa or it could cause issues is that correct?

I entered Thailand on an ED visa and was given 90days before I need to go to immigration to extend. If I plan to leave Thailand for an extended period of time(months or years) do I need to cancel the ED visa with immigration before I leave or will it just naturally expire without issue?

Thanks!

Good morning, my non-B visa expires on October 31, 2025. I made an appointment through the immigration website for renewal on the 31st. Is that correct, or will the officers cause any problems if I renew it on the same day? Thank you for your clarification.

Hi gurus,

I have an OA retirement visa which is valid till 13 March 2026 but my insurance & my entry stamp only give me till 20 November 2025 when my insurance expires. I am exiting the country for a few weeks in November, will renew my insurance, and come back in to Thailand on 23 November 2025. I understand that this will give me another year stamp based on the expiry of my insurance, so in effect, till November 2026. If I want to leave the country again in April 2026 for a few weeks, I believe I will need to get a re-entry permit, but will I be stamped back in till the end of my insurance (November 2026), or how will it work based on that my "visa" only gives me till March 2026? I am a little confused and would appreciate your advice, thanks.

Anyone started there Application in Thailand but only submitted after leaving? Of so is there a 30 days expiration when you start?

Anyone applied DTV for Remote worker or Freelance category (Not softpower skill) right after expiration of ED Visa ?? 🤔

I’m actually holding ED visa and has remote job (I know it’s not good).

In case that I will be asked to submit last a few months payslips, I would be suspected that I work remotely with ED visa ….?? 🤔

Do you think I should apply DTV for soft power skill category ?

I couldn’t find anyone asking same question this group in the past. Need your thought thank you 🙂
