Hello, I am looking to move to Thailand next year. I work offshore 6 months of the year (3 months off, 3 months on). With the occasional 6 week trip in between. What would be the most recommended way to go about visas?

Or just stick with the tourist visa?

Any help is appreciated

I am an American with a Thia girlfriend. I am interested in getting her a tourest visa. I contacted an agency he told me it was hard to get and a fiancé / marriage visa would be easier..

He wants $600 to help fill out paperwork and tell her what to say durring the interview.

This feels a lot like a scam I would aprecate any advice on the best path to take with this.

Hello everyone!

I just got my DTV approved at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane. I applied on Monday and just received it today (Wednesday).

It was very, very easy and I highly recommend applying for it there!

All you need is the following:

- Visa Application Form (with 2 x pictures)

- Passport copy of biodata page

- Document showing your current location (driver's license)

- Visa fee of 10,000 THB

- 6-month official bank statement showing a minimum of 500,000 THB

Proof of Purpose of Visit:

- For remote workers: Certificate of Employment, Employment Contract, personal tax return, and payslips (if applicable)

- Professional portfolio showing your business, including your resume/company profile and screenshots/photos of your business

Cover Letter including:

- Cover page and table of contents

- Self-introduction: name, age, passport number

- Statement of purpose

- Details about your company and the nature of the business

- Explanation of your workflow: how your freelance career operates and how you work remotely

- Assurance that you will not take away jobs from locals or take on local clients

But most importantly you need to have an appointment before going there which can be done online (I had booked mine a month in advance).

You can already go early in the morning and drop you application, regardless of your queue number.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Best of luck to all of you!

Hi Guys ! Looking for some experts advise here !

I’m thinking to apply for a Tutistic multi entry visa that should work for 6 month according to the Thai Embasy info in Italy . It should cost 150 euro which I guess is a fair price .

I already book my flight for this

September the 8th.

Now my situation is this :

I came back in Italy from Thailand last June The 4th after I using all the tuoristic exemption visa extensions possibles ( old rules) .

I fly around south east Asia’s counties since October 2023 using pattaya as a base.

As I went a bunch of times In and out Thailand are there any issues in your opinion if I apply on line for this Multi entry 6 month TR ?

Thank you so much in advance to anyone will help!🙏🏻

Hey everyone,

Currently, I'm on a 90-day Non-O visa that expires on July 22nd, this coming Monday, which coincidentally is also a public holiday from what I understand.

Back on June 10th, I applied for a 1-year extension at the Phuket immigration office. It's been 5 weeks now, and my visa application is still pending. (Under Consideration)

Today, my partner went to check on the status and was advised to bring my passport on Tuesday the 23rd for stamping, starting from the 22nd, which was my previous visa expiration date.

I have a question: when you submit documents for a Non-O 1-year visa extension and it's still under consideration, do you still risk overstaying, even though it's ultimately up to immigration to make the final decision whenever that may be?

Appreciate any advice or insights you may have.
