Hi everyone, I am US citizen coming to Thailand for retirement visa. I already have a BBL account from a previous retirement visa (had to let it lapse because of a emergency). I paid an agent back then. Question - where do I find the list of required documents to do it myself? I know I need to change to NON O first 3 months and then retirement but cannot find a list of the documents required for either. TIA

As of this message what are the 1 year + visa options for someone under 50, not married. American if that matters. I'm aware of the elite visa. He has 27 days left on his current visa but only 3 or 3.5 pages left in his passport. Looking for one year stay + only. Thanks in advance.

Greetings everyone, I’m a U S citizen and I would like to extend my visit in Thailand longer. I’m currently in Chiang Mai and my 30 days will be up on the 4/30. My question is what’s the best way to go about staying longer in Thailand? Should I apply for 30 more days and will I be able to visit other Southeast Asia countries and apply for a tourist visa if I wanted to revisit again ? Thank you in advance.

Be well

Hi , I'm legally married to a Thai ( 30 years ) , have 2 children , which visa you recomend to move back? US citizen

I am a US citizen residing in Spain and headed to Thailand next week on a 60-day e-visa. After I return to Spain, I will decide whether I want to retire in Thailand and get a retirement visa. Two issues: I am healthy but age 70 and would prefer to avoid the expense of medical insurance. I can apply from Spain or Thailand - which type visa would work best - O or O-A? Also, Thailand wants a proof of income letter from the embassy, but the US Embassy doesn’t issue these anymore. What alternative is acceptable? Many thanks!

US citizen here in Bangkok on a TR visa: Does the Chaengwattana Immigration office need to see an onward flight for a TR visa extension? Thank you much!

My ED visa will expire in 3 months . I've been here a year. I'd like to stay about 3 months longer. What options do I have? Cambodia and back as a tourist then extend or another ED program/Visa. US Citizen/Chonburi. I'll be talking to schools/agents this week.

Also, my pp is full. I will get a new one. Do I need to have the stamp transfered or can I just show the old pp?

Cost and experiences welcome, TIA.

Hello all,

I am a US citizen and entered the country visa exempt last month. I’m hoping to extend my visa without doing a boarder run. From what I understand, I can do this for about 2000THB at an immigration office. I am on Koh Phangan, does anyone know if I am able to extend my visa at the immigration office here?

Thank you ✨🥰

Hello and thanks for having me in this forum. I searched posts here and so hope this isn’t too much of a repeat. I am a US citizen recently turned 50 coming to Thailand on the 45 day exemption stamp. I am going to apply for a non-immigrant O visa when I arrive once I open my bank account and secure a long term rental. I am wondering what others in a similar situation have found applying for the visa if there are any caveats or things I should be aware of to avoid having my application denied. Any suggestions are appreciated.

[Visa Extension] I did my research just have some confirmation questions. I'm a US citizen, I came to Thailand on 8/29 so my 30 day is up on 9/29. I'm in Pattaya.

1. Getting all my paperwork in order before I go in person to the Chonburi Immigration Office on Soi 5 in Jomtien.

Copy passport data page

Copy of entry stamp

Passport Photo

(Can I just print them Online/Fill them out then bring them in person. I see there is a Chonburi Immigration Mobile App, can I fill them out and submit them on the App?)

Copy of TM6 departure card

Fill out form TM7

TM30 (I am staying with a friend and don't have a lease or proof of rental, what else can I provide)

1,900 baht for payment

2. WHAT exactly is the Chonburi Immigration android mobile app useful for?

3. I will print forms, get photocopies, complete it all at home tomorrow then go in person on 8/27 (my 30 day expires 8/29)

HOPE to get it completed in 1 trip in person.

4. Let's say I go in soon as they open at 830am

What time should I be expected to finish by? (How many hours is the wait/completion typically?)

Is there an optimal time to go in with Minimal wait time?

5. I guess this will extend my stay for another 30 days, 10/29/22. Can I extend longer than 30 days or is there an easier long term Visa Option that I can do or start while I'm at the Office?

Thanks in Advance 🙏🏽
