Hi hoping for a recommendation, looking for a visa AGENT or LAW FIRM that does THAI CITIZENSHIP applications and processing. I have had a residence permit for at least 10 years, and have accumulated enough points to qualify for citizenship already. Just want an agent to handle the paperwork and submission.

Is it possible to apply Thai visa in Jakarta without residency permit?

Hello,

I will apply for a volunteer visa with invitation letters from government agencies.

Can I apply in KL or Jakarta without having residency permit in those countries?

People in here might have experience about it.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found a visa service that helps with DTV extension in Chiang Mai? I used The Colonel for help with a residency permit but they don't help with the DTV extensions. After what I have read about trouble getting extensions at CM IO, I've decided to just use CM Border run service as they have been very good the 2 times I've used them and the process was predictable! If a visa service is available that can do it reliably and drama free that would be a good option. Thanks! :)

Hi all, we're arriving in Chiang Mai soon, and we're going to be renting a car for a month or two, but after, we're hoping to buy a car and insure within Thailand. I've read online that to register a car officially, you need a "residency permit"... is the DTV enough for this, or is owning a car on a DTV not possible? Thanks.

DTV in Taipei? As an American?

I can’t find any info on the Taipei website because it just lists people who can apply that have a residency visa in Taiwan .

But can Americans without a residency permit in Taiwan apply?

I am in Taipei preparing my documentation and want to use the local embassy here for DTV which I heard takes 2 days to process

Hi all. My husband and I are planning to move to Thailand soon, initially coming on tourist visas. We've heard that before being granted a one-year visa, immigration typically issues a 3-month visa while you wait for your actual residency permit. My question is, will I be able to be attached to the 3-month Non-B visa? I work remotely and don't plan to get a separate visa, so I would be on my his visa. I'm concerned that if I can't join the Non-B visa, I might have to leave and re-enter Thailand, which I'd like to avoid.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

While this doesn't apply to me at the present time (as I already own 2 vehicles, a car and a motorcycle), and don't intend on selling or purchasing any vehicles anytime soon, but can anyone shed some light on this topic?

Some kind of "permit" is required for foreigners purchasing vehicles in Thailand? That concerns me, but perhaps it's being overhyped when in fact it may be nothing at all.

In the comments section of the video, one guy seems to confirm it only applies in Chumphon province and it's a simple 5 Baht document from the Land Transport Department.

Just wondering if anyone has purchased a vehicle recently and had to produce anything beyond the usual passport + residence permit (from immigration or your embassy) OR yellow book OR work permit + fill in the forms provided by the seller or showroom?

Went to immigration and got a residency permit whilst there I spoke about renewing my first O-A extension of stay, spoke to a great gentleman with lots of usual information but on the required list of documents it asks for a photo outside of house with visible building number and a map with route to house in case an immigration rep wants to pay a visit ??? Is this correct if so does anybody have an updated list of requirements????
