Does anyone have experience applying from Nepal? Would extremely appreciate some info

Hey, does anyone have relatively recent experience of applying for a 90 Day Trailing Spouse Non-Imm 'O' based on their partner's OA visa in the UK? I last did this in 2021 so I'd be interested to know what documents they currently ask for and how easy the process is?

How long does it usually take to add children as dependents to DTV? Thank you

Hey all! Thanks for sharing all your info. I got approved for my DTV workcation from US. I went the DTV route as I was denied access to BKK about a month ago.

Now that I have the proper documentation I am planning to re-enter BKK tomorrow. Of course I am nervous now 😅even though I did everything correctly. When I arrive and they ask me how long I would I like to stay and what will I be doing. Shouldn’t I be able to say 180 days and that I will be enjoying the country and working as a digital nomad on my computer?

Any recommendations on how to best answer these questions?

Hi all. I looked in my passport and I see I still have an old TM6 stapled inside from when I entered Thailand a couple years ago (btw I been on a work visa, that's why inside Thailand that long). It says Departure Card. When I leave the country to apply for my DTV, am I supposed to complete that card and give it to someone on my way out? Or did they stop that too?

Can anyone tell me how long the process is to aquiring a retirement visa and if it is easier to obtain than a marriage visa?

Hi guys,I submitted my first 90-day report at the phuket immigration office today after 90 days. I did not present any documents, I just gave my passport. And the officer gave me a document, that's all. However I tried to do it online last night, but it was rejected, probably he saw and used the information that I entered the system, so it was very easy, and I also never submitted the TM-30 document.

hello, I have a question about the process to get a retirement extension. I have been living here since 2016 on retirement extensions, but have been helping a new guy, who now has had two agencies tell him he needs an education visa which three months down the road can then be turned into a retirement extension. problem is they both want a total of +- 60K baht.

it is still possible to get a 90 day tourist visa (from outside the country, online), then request an extension? are the visa agencies just not offering this because they can charge more for the education visa route? or has this avenue been closed?

also, my friend also was turned down by two banks yesterday for an account, are there still banks who will open an account for a new person with a residency certificate?

so, the questions:

1. can you still go the 90 day tourist visa route to get a retirement extension?

2. will banks still open accounts, and you just need to find the one that will?

thanks for your input!
