Quick question: I have an Elite visa that is about to expire, and I plan to switch to a Non-Immigrant O (marriage) visa. My plan was to go to Savannakhet, show my 400,000 THB bank letter, and apply there like people used to do.

But I just saw an announcement from the Royal Thai Consulate in Savannakhet saying that starting 1 January 2025, all visa applications must be submitted through the e-Visa system, and applicants can no longer submit passports or documents in person. It also says you can only apply once you are already outside Thailand.

Can anyone confirm if this is really true?

Is Savannakhet now 100% e-Visa only with no walk-ins for any visa type, including Non-O marriage visas?

Is this the same way for all other consulates?

If anyone has recent (2025) experience, please let me know. Thanks!

I'm seeing to apply for non O in your own Country. I'm seeing apply online. You can set the location of your lap top to anywhere? So why pay for a trip to your native country.

Singapore Royal Thai does not have Non-O retirement visa but only can apply for Non-OA which requires insurance etc etc..

So if apply in Thailand for Non -O how to get a bank account.... thanks.

Hi. I'm currently getting prepared to submit an application for a non o retirement visa to the Thai embassy in London using the e-visa system. For proof of current residence I was planning to upload a copy of my annual council tax bill which is dated April of this year. Please can anyone who has recent experience confirm that this will be acceptable. I couldn't find any list of acceptable documents on the website. I know there is a reference to utility bills but given my payment period for these they wouldn't necessarily be that up to date. Thank you

I will be applying for a DTV soft power when I am back in the uk. So applying through the London embassy as uk passport holder. When I input flight details into the e visa system can I just put my proposed flight details using Emirates or Qatari flight numbers or do I actually have the tickets bought already?

I’ll be applying for my ED Visa in Malaysia using the e-visa system- I am wondering if I have to stay in the city I apply in? I.e. if I apply in Kuala Lumpur, can I wait for approval in Penang or Lankawi? (Asking because my school had me choose the city that I’m applying from)

I have my electronic OA visa. Will have copy printed out when I travel to BKK. Will immigration attach copy to passport?

Hello everyone, is there someone who could give me the names of trustworthy visa agencies in Pattaya. I will arrive in September and I'd like to get a retirement visa. Thank you in advance. 🙏

Greetings from Poland 😀

We are a retired couple in our 60s.

We plan to spend five months in Thailand each year.

We have paid for our hotel and purchased our plane tickets.

The Thai Embassy in Poland advises that all visa applicants must submit their applications online via thaievisa.go.th.

What type of visa do you recommend for regular, five-month visits to Thailand? Arrival in Thailand in October, departure in March.

I would like to complete all the formalities before departing for Thailand.

I would be very grateful for any help and support 😀🙏

I have a question to ask, I am Italian, can I apply for a multi-entry tourist visa online if I am outside Italy?
