I am currently on a 60 day tourist visa and wish to apply for the 30 extension. My current entry for leaving is 24/12/25 and I was wondering when is the earliest I can apply for the extension and will it be added to the leaving date. I have a flight booked back to London on 18th Jan 2026 so need the extension to cover this time

Hi everyone. I am going to apply for 90 day non o marriage visa. I am in Chiang Mai. I entered visa exempt. Do I need to apply during the first 60 days (at least 21 days before visa exempt runs out)? Or is it possible to get a 30 day extension, and apply at least 21 days before the extension runs out? Thanks!

Hi guys, hoping for some advice. I am getting close to the time to extend my retirement non O for 12 months. I have some holidays planned for October. I am wondering if I should start the process before or after I come back for hols (inside Thailand) do immigration hold on to your passport for any time ? If I apply beforehand and they give me a date to return is it negotiable? Can I ask for a date after I return ? (Still before my current extension runs out ) thanks 🙏

Hello, is it ok to enter Vietnam/Indonesia and apply for the DTV as soon as possible? Or should I wait for 1-2 days?? Thx

With an initial 90 day O visa, how early can you do the extension? And on the other side, how soon do you need to do the extension? The 90 day O visa expires on 13 October.

Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for the DTV soft visa (thinking about applying in Indonesia), but I am facing a timing issue and would appreciate some advice.

I need to leave Thailand in mid September. One of the requirements is to show 500,000 THB in a bank account for 3 months. The account has only been funded since the end of August, so technically the 3-month period would run through August, September, and October.

My questions:

* Does it make sense to wait until early October and then apply, since it would be around 3 months, or is it a strict requirement that I need to complete the full 3 months?

* Should I try applying already in mid September, when I leave Thailand, for example in Indonesia or another embassy, or would that be a waste of time if the funds have not been in the account long enough?

* If I really need to wait, what would you recommend in the meantime? Should I just get another visa exempt entry? This would be my third this year, and I hold an EU passport.

Thanks for any advice from people who have gone through this process.
