Hello! We are on our first 20 days of a 60 day tourist visa. We would like to extend it a further 30 days and were wondering which would be the best way:

1. Do it now, while in a vacation rental in Ao Nang, as we leave in 2 weeks for a friend’s empty house in Pattaya.

2. It is fine to wait until Pattaya, staying at a friend’s place versus a rental will not matter much.

3. Just do a visa run instead since it is our first time in Thailand and unlikely to get denied for a single run.

Thanks for any input!

Where is the cheapest shop for a retirement visa in Pattaya ? And how much is it gonna cost ?

Hello everyone! I'm planning to do a DTV visa ("soft power")

Please tell me a good Muya Thai gym or Cooking school in Pattaya that will provide all the necessary documents for a visa .

Thank you 🙏

Came to Pattaya on a 30 day visa. 10 days left. I screwed up on my airflights and when I leave BKK on May 23 it will be 31 days. Do I need to get this fixed at Immigration in Jomtien? Other thoughts?

Can someone guide me on where to get lorazepam, diazepam, here in Pattaya? Valium and Clonipen without a prescription? No problem before. Just PM the name and location of pharmacy, please.

Hi All, I'm on a Non O Retirement visa extension out of Chiang Mai. I'm thinking of moving to Pattaya. Can I do my next annual extension down there, or do I have to start afresh with a totally new Visa from there?

Any agent recommendation for the NON O Retirement visa? Bangkok or Pattaya.

Do you know any driver that can drive me from Bangkok to Pattaya?

What’s the best company or law firm in Pattaya to get your retirement visa

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
