Just entered Thailand on my DTV from Manchester. Online full check in was not available, I could pick my seat but it instructed me to go to the desk for boarding passes, even the little machines before the desk would not allow it. The girl on check in hadn’t seen the dtv before but she just typed in the visa number and it was not an issue.

On arrival in Phuket my passport was stamped for 180 days, but after me asking the immigration officer said I have to report to the immigration office at 90 days.

It’s not a problem doing that but if people are coming for the first time they may not be aware of the 90 day reporting

I saved the list of requirements for changing to retirement at immigration (Phuket)and have lost it. Anyone got this.

Not sure if this has previously been shared or communicated. Phuket immig has now removed the B3m insurance exemption/ waiver for the OA visa holders who arrived before Nov 2019. I wasnt able to verify this with an officer as I was unable to get past the gatekeepers they now employ, and I stopped bringing my insurance policy several years ago. They say it was gazzetted in sept last year surprised not to see anything in the media about it 🤔

Hi, I am on Retirement Visa renting a house in Phuket. I have relatives come here on a regular 30 days Tourist Visa and would like now to extend another 30 days. Since my relatives stayed at my place and not in a hotel, do I need to ask my lamdlord his house book to be able to get the 30-days extension at Immigration?

Hi

I did all my immigration in udon and am on a years visa now. I have to check in at udon immigration every three months.

I am in rawai Phuket now and don’t really want to go back for the 13th May check in.

Can this check be done at Phuket immigration and if so what do I need to take with me. (No longer have support of Thai to come with me and sort out)

Following on from my post yesteday about the TM30 form & it’s valadity…

When extending a visa exempt entry by land at Phuket Immigration, do they require a Tm30 form from your hotel ? (Ye’s i’ve looked on the website)

Hello, I have a question concerning the 1 year extension (Phuket). I need "Certificate of the bank" and "Bank account records 1 year".

I read that the certificate must be dated no longer than 7 days prior submission. Is it the same for the bank account record?

The copy bank book must be done the same day showing update. Cheers.

Ok. Tomorrow (Wednesday 17th) immigration offices will be open. Many of the major ones like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Jomtien, Phuket, etc will be off the wall charts busy after a 5 day closure. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐬𝐨. They’re open on Thursday and Friday too and will probably be a lot less busy.

If you have had a stamp that has expired since the 12th then definitely go tomorrow (early in the morning). You can get an extension as normal but you will get an overstay stamp but not a fine as the offices were closed. The extension will be dated from the day it was due.

If the wait times are astronomical then please don’t blame the staff. They will be working as best they can but it will certainly be hard to cope with the sheer numbers that turn up.

to help others out : you can extend both 30 day visa on arrival & 60 day tourist visa easy at phuket old town immigration ! just did it day after arriving with my friends !!!

Just a heads up went to the main Immigration Office at Hau Hin waited 5 minutes to do 90 day reporting - went at 1 pm only 6 other people there RESULT !!!!
