Hi, just entered for a second Time and didn’t got stamped 6month, but instead he used the date of the first stamp.

Is that normal?

If you have the DTV visa for Muay Thai, which is considered “soft power”. After 1 year, so I have to apply for another soft power in order to keep my visa? Thanks in advance

2.ill need to show a proof of income from abroad

3.Go out every 180 days

4.Can i come straight back in or is there a cooling period?

5.Any clarity would be appreciated

What is the longest lag time allowed between being granted a 90 Day Non O Visa in your home country, and actually arriving in Thailand, receiving your non-o passport stamp, and beginning your 90 Days of paradise? I was told u actually also have 90 days from day of visa approval to arrive and still be valid for 90 days in Thailand.

I'm getting ready to apply for the DTV. Does the five year period begin when the Visa is issued or when you arrive in Thailand? I'm not planning on arriving until Dec next year.

Wow, my visa got approved! Somehow didn't expect that anymore... Now my question is, how long do I have before I have to activate it? And can I do that from a country different than where it is issued and trough a landborder as well?

Thanks

My wife, a Filipina, intends to apply for a Non O Visa early next year in Manila to enable her to stay in Thailand as a dependent on my retirement Visa.

The question is when does the clock start ticking; is it the day she gets the stamp in Manila or from the time she enters Thailand? The problem is she will be going to Australia direct from Manila for 2 months.

If it is from the date it is stamped in Manila she will only have one months validity once she gets to Thailand. Is that a problem; does it matter?

Just as a matter of interest we made inquiries with the embassies in Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia none of whom were able to process a Non O Visa (obtaining this information by the way was not easy. It took a lot of effort and many emails to find out the answer was NO. We even tried Australia and received two nonsensical answers before they stopped replying at all).

As an aside to this I am curious as to why it has to be applied for outside of Thailand anyway.

Thank you in anticipation.

If I get approved for the DTV and get stuck in my country for a few extra months finishing out things, how long do I have to travel to Thailand to begin the process.Meaning If i already am apporoived say todat but cant travel there until feb. Is is valid to begin in 90d or 180. I know the visa is valid for 180d but, best I understand that is from when you land in Thailand, not when it was received. In case I'm incorrect on that, I cannot find anything concrete I may want to wait. I want to go immediately but, things may hold me at home for an extra month or 2. Trying to get my ducks in a row. I asked 1 question and all I got was condescension. If anyone knows the answer, then you are much appreciated. Anyone telling me i'm entitled for wanting to know such things or wait to apply, dont bother answering. I may be able to leave home almost immediately so I want to be ready but, may not due to things I cannot control. I'm not a winter person and dont want to sit around waiting if dont have to. Much thanks

Hello, is there a requirement to visit Thailand within the first year the visa is issued?

When applying for the visa non-o family they ask for a flight nr. what if we would change the date or the airliner changes our flight which would not be for the 1st time?
