Heloo group,,thanks for the invite ! I'm Bub, my dad and I were just in/on Phuket for 49 days, we had to cut our trip short do to a unfortunate health issue my dad had. Our trip was exploratory in nature, we plan to make a home near Hau Hin/Isaan or ? We were both very impressed with the quality of people, foods, places and overall livability for us. Moving forward, we want to return asap, August ? However, after discovering this group, I'm a bit concerned,,seems there may be some difficulties with returning after a short time, like more than once per year ? Any encouraging words will be appreciated.,Thanks again.

Has anyone been asked whilst doing a border run with the DTV about their bank balance?

I’ve heard a couple stories of officers asking to see their balance of over 500k THB in the one account

Hi all

If you are on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa and have been in Thailand for 2 months with the 800,000 in the bank and you have just applied for the Non-Immigrant O-A (retirement Visa),

Can you leave Thailand whilst waiting?

Do you have to be back in Thailand to receive the Visa?

What happens if you are still out of the country when the visa comes through?

Thanks

Quite a long list of border crossings. No indication of how long they will be closed for.

Same-Day Border Run and the Thailand Digital Arrival Card

On the website it says that: "Foreigners are required to submit The website says: *"Foreigners are required to submit their arrival card information 3 days before arriving in Thailand."*

If I’m planning a same-day border run, does that mean I have to submit the TDAC form while I’m still in Thailand? Could that cause any issues?

Thanks in advance!

Can I renew a driver's license with a Non-B, or do I need to wait for the full work permit process to be completed?

Entered Thailand with DTV, along with my 3 dependents, yesterday. No questions asked — they just checked and stamped. I submitted all my hotel booking receipts from Airbnb and Agoda, stapled with my arrival card and eVisa copy.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from the group.

I hold both US and Russian passports. I have a DTV visa issued to my US passport, but for this particular trip I want to enter Thailand using my Russian passport instead (visa exemption).

My reason: 16 days after arrival to Thailand I'm traveling onward to where my Russian passport works better and want to keep travel continuity.

Has anyone entered Thailand on a different passport than the one with their DTV visa? Any issues at Thai immigration? I'm prepared with explanations and all my bookings are on the Russian passport, but wondering if this will create problems.

Would appreciate any experiences or thoughts from the group. Thanks!

If anyone is going for an extension and have completed a TDAC you need it printed out and signed for immigration.

It is not on the list of requirements for O, B etc etc as it is all new. I am at immigration office and I and others have been sent to get printed copies.

EDIT: This was Chiang Mai Immigration Office. - the First 2 document checks did not pick up on it only when the extensions was being updated in the system.

Can you guys please guide me. I heard that immigration officers sometimes ask for showing 500k Thai baht when doing border run.... On dtv it is not allowed to open bank account, then how will I show that I have 500k Thai baht? Can I show my funds in dollars in PayPal or wise or payoneer? Will they accept it?
