Hi,

I am a new member, Swedish, and have lived full time for 8 years. Have Non-O at the bottom and 1-year extension built on Spouse.

Next year the Swedish Embassy will stop making Income Certificates which I understand many other countries have already stopped.

Now my questions:

Is there a "Monthly Income Method", i.e. showing bank statements from the bank 12 months ago with more than 40,000 baht/month instead of 400,000 baht at an account?

Could there be different rules for different provinces? I live in Rayong.

I’m traveling to Thailand soon and will stay with my wife for about 7 months in Rayong. Looking for recommendations for travel insurance whilst in Thailand.

Saw this post from one of the large agents in Pattaya not visa related but another hot topic driving licence. Currently only applies to Chonburi District

Hello ,

I would like to know if it is possible to get a 3 months visa extension on a 5 years elite visa at my local immigration office (Rayong) or if I have to go to Bangkok office. I'm asking because I've got different answers from the Elite company and my local immigration office.

Thanks for the helpful answers ☺️

Anyone have a point of contact for a driver and van to drive from Bangkok to Raynong, Phuket and back over a 10 day period?

Please recommend a soft power muay thai gym to me for dtv visa thanks！

“The documents provided must be complete”

I am moving to Thailand to be with my Thai wife in April and plan to retire there with her.

I understand that I will need a Spouse Visa. I hope to be in the Rayong area. Can anybody suggest somebody who could help with Visa, Bank Accounts, Driving Licence etc. TIA

Hi I would have a question about how the fine tm 30 works. I had already had a room in jomtien chonbury with tm 30. I haven’t been out of Thailand in years. about a month ago I took another room in rayong with annual contract, the owner did not do the 30 tm.now I decided to leave the room of jomtien. If I go to the rayong immigration to make new tm 30 of the room in rayong and show the contract started already a month ago, do I have to pay the fine for delay? thanks

5 year drivers licenses on a DTV - experiences? I'm wondering if those who've applied for a 5 year Thai driver or motorcycle license (or both at the same time) as a renewal from an existing 5 year one that is expiring OR a 2 year one that should be eligible for an upgrade to a 5 year one, did you get a 5 year license or only a 2 year one?

I know Sefton Hanley got a 5 year license in Chiang Mai while on a DTV.

However, in Pattaya and Rayong, they're only handing out 2 year licenses to DTV holders when they go in for their renewals.

Any experiences from other offices?

I have the feeling Bangkok will renew for 5 years, but this is just a hunch.

Where are some less smoky places to stay in Thailand during the months of March and April? I will be living in Chiang Mai full time starting in February.
