Hi has anyone changed from DTV to retirement visa recently? Looking for some advice to change over. Thanks 🙏

Hello Everyone, Advise please, Im 62, from the US, Im retired, Im in Thailand now on a 60 day Tourist Visa., I have a Thai wife , So Today we went to the Local immigration office to check what all they want to file for The Retirement Visa Married to a Thai, I was Told I couldnt Convert my Tourist Visa, id have to do a Border Run and and get a 90 Day Non -O, Then come back and have The 90 day Non-O Converted into the 1 Year Non-O Marriage , Of course with all the Stuff that goes with that Process, Does That sound Right ??.

I just received my non O retirement visa. But i arrived on 60 days tourist stamp. When I can convert to non O one year retirement stamp?

If you land at bkk on a normal 60 day visa can you get a non o after that

Good morning. I have just arrived on a Non O-A visa and have done my first visit to immigration for the TM30. As my current medical insurance expires 31 Dec I was only stamped in until then, insurance will be renewed sometime in November. Will I still have to fly out and back in order to get another year stamp? How easy is it to change to Non O visa which saves the insurance requirement?

Hello everyone,

I live in Bangkok with an ED visa (Thai language course) and I’m going to change my visa to an ED dependent visa for my son who is at school.

Can I do the conversion directly at Immigration in Bangkok at the same time as my son’s school transfer, or do I need to leave the country?

Thank you!

Hello,

I am working on a non-o visa (retirement). I am currently in Vietnam. Should I request the non-o visa in Vietnam or enter Thailand with a tourist visa and convert it to non-o. I am under the impression of I do inside of Thailand, I end up with more time on the visa (convert tourist visa to non-o gives me 90 days then ask for 1 year extension as opposed to getting 1 year from Vietnam). Any help would be appreciated

This did not come from a bank employee.

how many days need to be remaining on your visa before applying for a ED visa ??
