Is there any news on the entry fee in to Thailand.

I'm very confused. I'm wanting to get a retirement visa for Thailand but have been given conflicting advice. One source says I need to deposit the required amount of money in a Thai bank account before I can apply for the visa, Bangkok Bank say I have to open that account in person in Thailand. I'm sure it must be more straightforward than that. Any help greatly appreciated

Do you have to make an appointment for the Thai embassy in Hanoi? Going for a non-immigrant B visa

I fly out to Thailand from the states on Sunday but my tourist visa is still processing.

How does that work if it gets approved after arrival? Can it still be used?

Hi, is there an option to get a 90 day tourist visa on arrival at Bangkok airport?

Safe travels to everyone🙏

Hello all, I hope someone can advise me.

I was on a work permit with visa but during this time I was diagnosed with a serious bacterial respiratory infection, and I've been under care of doctors in the Thai hospital system since then. While ill, the company suffered financial problems and my visa expired. I thought I had longer, but due to illness I had made a mistake about that, and no one from the company ever contacted me about it.

So now I am trying to get an extension based on medical treatment. Currently I cannot fly out of the country as I can't breathe well or be away from supplemental oxygen very long, and I'm still under a doctor's care and taking powerful meds that can't be interrupted.

From what I understand, this should be manageable with a Dr's statement as long as it's still less than 90 days. My Dr has signed a statement that I'm under care and need supplemental oxygen and medication. It doesn't explicitly say I can't travel so I'm a little concerned about that but I hope that would be obvious. I also have my medical history documented between three hospitals now.

With all of this, I am not sure exactly what I need to do or who can help me with it. I can pay an overstay fine if need be, but I can't easily go to immigration myself because of my general condition and the need for oxygen. To be honest I'm also kind of nervous to think of going alone, in case something didn't work out and I was detained. In that case, I'd rather know there is still a problem and have a chance to prepare the next plan, because I honestly don't know what would happen to me if I were tossed in a detention center, unable to breathe and without proper care at this juncture.

I gather that someone else can probably go to immigration in my place for me, but I don't know anyone personally that can go. I tried to talk with a few places that advertise visa services, but one quoted extremely high prices and the other never got back to me with anything useful even after I spoke with them twice.

Does anyone here have any advice or can refer anyone that might be able to help?

Thank you

Hello, i am actually in the detention room in Don Muang airport. i came tonight from Kuala Lumpur with a tourist visa. i had a outbound ticket booked, hotels booked and 22 k cash. The immigration told me that i had 291 days in tourist visa since last year. They obliged me to book a flight to KL for tomorrow, and even charge me 803 bath for the detention room ( i have invoice....lol)

Does anyone have some clue about what to do ?

Many thanks

Hi Everyone. I will be flying to Thailand from the UK on a 60 day tourist visa in January. I will be staying in a rented bungalow on Koh Samui. In the past ( 2017 )I have gone to the new immigration office there before the 60 days expired and paid 1900 baht for a 30 day extension. Is this still the way to do it. I have looked at the Thai embassy website and am a bit confused. That's just old age I guess!!

Quick question with a non b visa at the airport do they still need proof of funds ?a return ticket and how about the issue of accommodation if you have no house contract you live in a school house what happens please thanks for the responses in advance.

My one year visa (retirement) expires 1 May, I want to fly out of Chiang mai 28th Feb and return maybe mid April or May.

I've heard that if I show my travel plans to immigration, I can extend my visa ahead of time.

Is this correct?
