Hi Guys. My wife (homeowner where we live) is trying to fill in the TM30 today for me online, but I’ve already been in the country for a month. Is that possible?

I went to my local immigration for the list of requirements for my first marriage visa extension next week. They confirmed i need a TM30 and said to try online or I’ll have to come in and do it there and bring a neighbour as a witness, to prove where I reside.

But, you can’t back date my arrival date online (and the immigration officer didn’t mention this.) So I’d have to say online that I arrived today, which doesn’t tie up with my arrival stamp, of course.

I don’t want to do anything incorrectly, so I’ve paused this for now. Anyone have any experience with this?

Many thanks 🙏🏽

How much an agent / firm is charging for taking care of retirement visa in Bangkok ?

Well getting caught in the U.S. Federal Government downsizing so will be retiring this year versus next year. Right now I'm planning on landing along the coast between Bangkok and Pattaya and will be applying for the 90 day "O" visa (I think versus the OA) to enter and then doing the one year extension after I get a bank account sorted out. So a few questions for anyone willing to provide any guidance or thoughts to the following:

1) Not 100% sure this is where I want to end up, but would it be better to stay in the same area until after the first 12 month Visa extension is completed or isn't this an issue (I keep reading there are slight differences in different immigration offices).

2) Anyone have a recommendation on an agency to assist with the opening a bank account, getting Thai license, and 12 month extension either in Pattaya or Bangkok?

I expect to arrive in Thailand sometime late Oct or early mid November (just completed a two week vacation there a couple of weeks ago. Any other thoughts or tidbits someone wants to share will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

If staying in Thailand on marriage visa can someone please explain the process of leaving and and coming back too Thailand. Do I but a re-entry visa. opes my visa start all over again ? thanks for the advice.

UK national married to Thai.

wishing for some advice on which way to go initially …Tourist visa, Retirement or Marriage visa? I/we intend to reside in Thailand for just short of 6 months with a view to becoming more permanent later. Of course I would rather spend less time dealing with acquisition of visas as I come and go (staying longer later) mindful too of tax status.

What are my best most sensible options to consider if I have provided you enough info.

P.s seasoning of any funds is no issue as I have an existing primed bank account

Will the new Tdac affect land border runs . >bounce. <from Thailand to obtain a extension. As you don't physically leave Thailand.

Hello, I’m sure you people will be able to help, I am just wondering with the DTV visa requirement of the 500k obviously you have this in the bank account at point of application does it also need to be in the bank account for extension or re-entry?

Also has anyone done it for themselves and a spouse is there anything to be aware?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Goal: Is to open a Thai Bank account so I can slowly build up the 800,000 baht over the next two years.

Plan: I will be taking my normal 2 week holiday in Thailand, I will be in and out. But this time , I plan on entering on a Non Immigrant O Retirement visa from my home country.

I want to do what is necessary to open a Thai Bank Account, as if I were going to apply for the Non Immigrant O extension.

If I can secure the Bank Account,. mission successful, and I would exit I hope on the Non O visa after 2 weeks.

I would then apply again for Non O in 2027, When I actually plan on living in Thailand for long term. Again my main purpose on this trip is simply to begin the funding process early and establish the Thai Bank Account, so I can move money a bit at a time.

Will there be any problems on my exit, if I exit after 2 weeks on the Visa. I hope it is my prerogative how long I stay less than the 90 days.

I've been to Thailand several times but taking advantage of the tourist visa from 30 to 60 GG. I am retired and from January I would like to stop a bit more, say 3 or 4 months. What are the available options? I read something on the embassy's website but some things were not clear .... thank you for accepting me and thank you for any advices

Sono stato in Thailandia diverse volte ma sfruttando il visto turistico dai 30 ai60 GG. Sono in pensione e da gennaio vorrei fermarmi un po' di più diciamo 3 o4 mesi .quali sono le opzioni disponibili ? Ho letto qualcosa sul sito dell'ambasciata ma non mi sono chiare alcune cose ....grazie di avermi accettato e grazie per eventuali consigli

Can I get a 60 day stamp then go to Cambodia or Nepal for 10 days or so, then get a new 60 day stamp in Thailand? Total 120 days?
