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?

I am traveling to Thailand since 23 years, now being 50yrs old with German passport, and always on visa exempt stamp.

Since last year it seems using this way of entering the country is getting more and more tricky as I enter the country 2-3x during a 4 weeks holiday trip entering other SEA countries as well.

I also own a Condo in my name in Pattaya btw.

Now wondering what visa to apply for, probably DTV as I have all the requirements handy, to get not stressed with questions and evidence for my own purpose.

What is your guys recommendation in my case for 2-3 yearly visits to SEA in total not more than 120days but multiple Thailand entries?

I don't want to live there or apply for a standard tourist visa as I can't see a big difference.

As German I have also 2 passports (both German) which is allowed for critical purposes and land borders (Emirates, Israel, Cuba etc.) and I could potentially change my passport each time or so.

What are your recommendations for best and flexible options for myself?

If you put 800K baht in a savings account in Thailand for a retirement visa, will it pay any interest? If so, about how much recently?

Hi everyone,

I have the project to go live in Thailand this year. I've started to apply to engineer positions from my home country but I would like to pursue my research in Thailand.

As Non-immigrant B visa requires a job to get it, do you know an option allowing me to go in Thailand to carry on my job research there ?

Is the conversion of a tourism visa to a Non-immigrant B visa possible once I get a job there?

Thanks for your help

DTV advice please

I tried to do all the right things. Rang the Thai consulate in Australia, only got an automated message to email questions instead. Did that and they didn’t answer my main question.

Can anyone who applied through one of the Australian consulates please tell me how long the 500k have to sit in one bank account before you apply? We have savings in several different accounts and I don’t really want to move that money until we have to.

Is it enough to show 3-6 months of statements showing regular income plus transferring the 500k just before applying? Or does it have to sit in one account for 3-6 months?

Also, how many months of statements did you have to submit.

Thanks 🙏
