Hi there, I'm a little way from enacting this plan, but I'm looking at relocating to Thailand in order to teach English. I'll be doing a CELTA course before looking for employment.

I've been advised to get an actual tourist visa from the embassy (I'm from the UK) in order to avoid questions for not having an onward flight. I've also been told to book a cheap outbound flight to a nearby country before my 90 days (60 + 30 renewal). Anyone been in this situation? Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi, I have a friend from the UK and her tourist visa is about to expire in a few days. She already extended the visa once. I was wondering what is the possibility to stay in Thailand and get the stamp for another 30 days without renewing the visa? Can she do border bouncing or fly in-out and get back in Thailand on the same day?

Thank you very much for your advice!

Ok good people, I'm 54 I have a pension that pays over the DTV requirements, my wife is under 50 for the retirement visa and shares my income.

My question is, how do I get a DTV for both of us and is there a joint DVT and requirements?

We are UK based and are due in Thailand back end of February 25.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, I am moving to Thailand in July and have a non immigrant visa (single entry). I planned on visiting in a couple of weeks for 1 week. I am from the UK so do not require a visa for 1 week. I am wondering will visiting for 1 week impact my non immigrant visa?
