Hi everyone! We're finally in Thailand with our DTV, entry was really smooth no dramas at all. We printed out the e visa but they didn't even look at it :) All has been great and we've been enjoying the food and weather and of course people so far! Have had little trouble fumbling between different payment methods and never got the tagthai (as recommended by some) because cash seems to still be the way to go! We're getting mixed advise about opening a bank account and luckily for us, we secured a 6 months rental this week! Anyone has experience opening a thai bank account, if so, which bank do you recommend? Will having a rental agreement make it easier even on a dtv visa?

Good morning all.

Quick question, we are moving over in August and im upto date on getting bank account no problem. I read today that for your extension that they need a rental agreement for 6 or 12 months to apply for there extension.

We are having a house built and are only renting for 4 months? Hopefully if it's finished on time. The person who wrote it did not say from what visa he's extension was for.

Mine will be from NonO married.

Will 4 months rental be okay or will my house build contract be okay.

I understand each IO will make there own decision. I will be doing this in Hui Hin.

Thanks

Obtaining a Certificate of Residence at Chonburi Immigration with DTV

Hi all,

I am planning to visit immigration on Monday for the COR. Wondering if any others in the group have done the same recently.

My current checklist is:

Copy of DTV

Passport

TM30

Rental Agreement Copy

Photocopy of Passport

Photocopy of entry stamp

Printed portrait photos

Will this be enough to get the Certificate of Residence without issue?

And how much do they charge ?

Going over my checklist for one year extension of Non-O retirement visa in Chonburi/Pattaya.

Visa expires on 28 January but I'd like to apply on 16 or 19 January.

TM7 form (includes acknowledgement of penalties)

Passport photos

Copy of passport pages.

Copy of 1 year signed rental agreement

Copy of one year bank statement

Copy of bank book pages with same day update

Copy of TM30

Bank Letter certifying minimum baht requirement (I had no transfers since my last extension)

Am I missing anything? Please advise.

Metv application help is rental aggreement ok for address a year aggreement

Would anyone be so kind to share a recent list of requirements for ret. Non O annual extension? I realize it might be different than my office but Im not currently there and want to prepare what I can ahead of time.

Just retired with TP Gold visa and now getting all the paperwork sorted out for a long term stay

Got 10 year rental agreement for a house and got issued yellow house book and pink id card at the local city administration (Amphur)

Next step is drivers license, need to take a test and get a medical certificate but think the TP visa plus pink id card and yellow book is ok as documentation basis for application

Just one question if anyone should have same issue, my rental agreement and yellow book does not show same address. Owner of the rental house is not very cooperative so relatives of my late wife (I am now single and intend to stay single) organized it on their blue book. It included interview at the Amphur and some paperwork. I was informed at the city office that the 2 addresses don’t have to match as many Thais are registered one place but have actually moved and live/work in another place

Any comment or advice anyone, I was married for 37 years and the wife took care of everything, now I’m on my own and need all the advice I can get

Immigration in Hua Hin told me to get 101 baht duty stamps for my rental agreement which is needed for Marriage visa, where do i buy the stamps? They told me somewhere but I forgot where

Dear digital nomads,

If you've been asked for a utility bill/rental agreement/drivers license to prove your address, but you don't have that, what did you do?

(I've already sent my bank statements with my UK address, but my parents pay the bills and own the flat, so that's why I don't have those things)

Thanks so much ✨

Ps I'm a UK citizen applying in London

PPS my friend sent his mortgage from the bank, if that helps someone, but I don't have a mortgage
