Does anyone know the process for changing your last name in Thailand (UK citizen). Been married to my Thai husband for a couple of years, I need to renew my passport soon anyway so would like to take his name. Is it possible to do in Thailand and is it complicated with visa/ work permit being in my maiden name? Or is it too much hassle/ best to do when I next go to the UK?

If to retire in Thailand you need 80000 BHT in the bank do you need double as a married couple ? (Both British).

I have a young person under my care from the UK who has had her passport stolen, the photo page ripped out, then anonymously returned. A new passport has been applied for but the issue comes with the thai visa.

She entered with a Non-O volunteer visa which must be extended to the full year this December. As she has a damaged passport, this cannot be done. Immigration have said they will not give her a temporary extension until the new passport arrives, and said she must pay the 500b overstay fine every day until her passport arrives. The passport will take around 4-6 weeks making this fine extremely high.

Anyone have any suggestions on what we could ask immigration to encourage them to take pity on her and provide a temporary extension to avoid having to pay the fine? Also, she can’t leave the country to wait it out as she has no ID to travel and needs to be here to collect the new passport in person anyway.

Complicated i know!

I live in Thailand.

I have a Uk passport that is going to expire in November 2024. My retirement visa renewal is in October each year. My question is how do I keep my visa in my passport and receive a new passport? As I have to submit my old passport when renewing it?

Hello all

I'm a UK citizen currently in Bangkok on a 45 days tourist visa. I want to know my options for extending and how to do it.

I'm planning on leaving Thailand for a couple of months before my current visa runs out so no problems if I'm required to leave.

Also what are the rules with visas is there a maximum amount of time that you can spend in Thailand per year etc?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all , I have a question . I am a UK citizen my wife is Thai and we have an 8 week old baby with a UK passport. Is it possible for baby to enter Thailand on her UK passport then apply for her birth certificate and Thai passport in Thailand and then leave six months later on her Thai one . Thanks in advance .

Please help. So I am currently in Thailand as a UK citizen on the visa exemption for 30 days, I would like to extend for an additional 30 days at an immigration office here but they recently dropped the use of TM6 (arrival/departure) card for arrivals into Thailand so I didn't get one when they stamped my passport on the way in but as I understand you need this doc for the extention? Anyone else done this? Thank you x

Hello.

Does anyone heave any recent experience applying for a STV in a country adjacent to Thailand?

I live and work in Bangkok but would like to quit my job and take a few months as a tourist before making my next step. It seems

that STV makes most sense (?) cos I already have accommodation here and am not sure how long I want to stay....but on the website for Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh the advice seems to be specific to Cambodian nationals (and I am from the UK). I could not find anything on Thai Embassy website for Laos.

1. So if anyone knows if they are issuing STVs from these embassies i would appreciate your input.

1. And if there are any special requirements above and beyond the current Covid related hoops to jump through? For example, did you have to show proof of onward travel?

Thanks.

I’m currently in Laos and planning to enter Phuket sandbox. The Thai embassy in Laos aren’t processing e-visas at the moment, but are able to issue Certificate of Entry. I’m a UK citizen, does anyone know if it’s possible to have the e-visa processed by the Thai Embassy in UK (all electronically) and the CoE issued by the embassy in Laos? Or do they both need to be issued by the same embassy (not possible for me as CoE must be issued in current country so cannot be done by UK)

Thank you
