Hello …I’m on my 2 nd year of my retirement visa here which gets renewed once a year …is there any way to change it into a yearly visa …the goal is to not have to keep 800 k in an account … I know that 400k can be withdrawn from that account and put back in 2 months prior to renewal and then take it back out 3 months after renewal but that system is getting old and worn … don’t ask why not just leave 800 k in it year round ..I have better things to do with it …thanks for any potential solid advice on options …

Hi all,

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’m planning to move to Bangkok in January. Is the Thai Privilege Card worth purchasing as a visa? Or would i be better off just doing the DTV and renewing after 5 years?

What is the cheapest visa to get for a couple wanting to live in Thailand for the next five years sporadically, like 3 months to 9 months a year. Would it be cheaper to just stay 30 days and extend and do visa runs to neighboring countries or apply for a retirement visa or some kind of digital nomad visa or something else I haven’t considered? Cheaper the better is our priority. We don’t mind traveling and living in neighboring countries.

Has anyone applied for one of the visas while IN Thailand after a tourist visa? If so can you apply online and use the embassy location where you are (in Thailand) or do you have to leave first and come back?

Hi Members,

I'm waiting for my DTV visa but that doesn't seem to work out.

I've been on entry stamps since the end of October and did one border run.

If I don't get my DTV visa, can I still leave the country and apply for a tourist visa? And how long is that for?

TIA!

What are the pros or cons of applying for the DTV instead of applying for non-o immigrant spousal extension? I have been doing the spousal for a decade but DTV sounds maybe easier? TIA

Deciding whether to apply for DTV under Muay Thai or a cooking class. For Muay Thai I've been in contact with Tiger Eye gym in Bangkok and they seem responsible and professional. For cooking I'm looking at Bangkok Cooking Academy, also seems legit. I'm kind of leaning more towards cooking because it's something I've always wanted to learn but the courses are a month long. What happens once you've complete the month long course? Do you have to keep signing up for month long courses? With Muay Thai I've dabbled in it before and I wouldn't mind doing it 1-2 times a week long term.

I arrived in Suvarnabhumi on the 7th Sept. I have travelled to Kuchinarai, Udon Thani and Maha Sarakham. Tonight I travel to Pattaya to meet friends. My passport says I was to leave Thailand on the 6th Oct. What are my options? I've been coming to Thailand since 1967 and have a Thai partner of 8 years. I intend leaving Thailand on 26th Oct.
