Heads up to anyone using Pattaya Immigration. I had my annual interview for the Non Imm. O visa Ext. of Stay thru marriage yesterday. Nightmare. Worst in 28 years. Even my usually unflappable Thai wife was upset at the process. Home photos rejected. Had to go home take more, a 1-hour return drive. Photocopies unacceptable. In and out all morning to get more done then having to queue up again in long queues of at least 40 or 50 people in front of us twice.

The female immigration officer even had a problem with the map to our house which we printed off from Google Maps. Not good enough. It had to be hand drawn with a copy so that means hand drawn twice. Don’t know if the IO was just having a bad day or not but doubt it as a friend said he had something similar happen to him last week in Bangkok immigration. Oh and marriage cert. good for the last 23 years, not anymore. Needs updating every year now so had to go to the Amphur district office do that.

The questions they’re asking nowadays are very invasive as well. Why did you move? (asked twice) How did you pay for your house? Got receipts? Where does your income come from? Got any pension? Proof? Receipts? Be warned. It’s a new dawn in immigration these days and the bank freezes were just the start. I’d be interested to know if anybody’s had similar experiences having done a recent 1-year Extension of Stay on long-term Thai visa. Thanks.🙏

Hello, I live in Pattaya and I want to apply for a DTV visa.

I’m a crypto trader, which doesn’t count as income according to the government, so I’d like to get the visa through a Muay Thai program.

Can anyone give recommendations on the best way to do it?

Maybe a specific agency or which country is best to apply from?

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Has anyone recently extended their DTV at Pattaya Immigration? My first 6 months expire at the beginning of October and I’d like to know which documents are required for the extension.

Please don’t suggest leaving the country, if it’s really impossible to extend, I’ll take a short trip abroad, but otherwise I’d prefer to extend.

Thanks.

Hi all, anyone has successfully done dtv extension in Pattaya?

I’m prepping for my first report coming up soon and realize my TM30 is dated from when I came into Thailand to rent my condo and not when I re-entered after activating my DTV.

Will Pattaya immigration care about the date discrepancy or should I ask my landlord for a new one?

Thanks

I need a extended 30 day visa my 60 day runs out 18th May but going home 25th May anybody recommend a agency please thank you all sorted now

When you can get your first EOS at earliest when you are on a Non O visa?

Can I get it already e.g. after 40 days after entering Thailand?

Specially asking for Pattaya immigration

Experience with extension of stay Non O Retirement Visa

Has anyone experience with the year extension when using proof of money from abroad? Is it easy accepted? Specially in Pattaya immigration

Has anybody used the Online Visa Extension system?

I went to Pattaya Immigration this morning and I was informed they only do extension between 8:30 - 10:00. They check my paper work and told me to come back tomorrow. My current stamp expires tomorrow.

Edit: So far I haven't been able to login. I was able to log in and made all the way to the part about booking appointments, but they have nothing available EVER, I checked :)

EDIT

Arrive 7:30 AM, I was the third person in line. I was finished by 9:00AM.
