Hello all.

I have an appt in January at Khon Kaen Immigration to extend my current Non-O 90 day retirement visa to a year. The email I received from them seems simple enough. It lists only 3 items, Application form, copy of passport, Evidence of income and/or account deposited in a Thai bank.

Does this seem correct for Khon Kaen? Looking at the nightmares from other immigration places, this is a breeze.

Is the application form the TM47?, it doesn't say.

I will of course bring the TM30 I used for the certificate of residence I used last month for banking and drivers license. Anything else I should bring? KK is an hour and a half away, so going back and forth is a real pain. I did get a passport photo the other day, but it doesn't look like I will need it.

Thanks for the replies.

After successful completion of the arrival card online application I was offered an e-sim for $4.00. Anyone know anything about this?

90 day Report While Traveling Inside Thailand;

Anyone here have experience with needing to get a TM 30 for the 90 day report without a rental agreement or more permanent address?

I am traveling to every province in Thailand for the next 4-5 months and will need to do my 90 day report during my travels inside the country.

Not planning on leaving the country for a border run either.

Some people say you can get a TM 30 from a hotel but I haven't heard details about that.

Any tips?

thank you

Anyone recommend a Visa Agent or is it just that simple to go fly to a neighbouring country and provide the relevant documents?

How are you guys able to get your documents under 3 MB. They asked me for pcitures of every page in the passport book, hotel booking receipts, flight receipts, etc. I merged it all into one pdf file that wight around 35mb. I then compressed it to maximum 4 MB.

Hi guys, sorry for this question as I am not english mother tongue.

The picture below means all pages of the passport?.

What was your experience with this?

Hi,

I started the process of the online form for DTV for nomad. I reached to the page when i need to fill up date of arrival, flight number, address in Thailand. I'm doing it in Vietnam.

I'm planning to go back to Thailand only around April and i don't have any flight booked yet or a date i will return. What should i do ?

Trying to non-o visa online. Question requires flight details. Do I need to buy airline ticket before l receive visa. Was hoping to get visa first then get airline ticket.

Can anyone confirm to get the 12 months of bank statements from Bangkok Bank and the certification of balance letter do you need your passport/ID AND your passbook when asking in the branch? This is to ask for them not to receive them.

EDIT: It seems both are absolutely necessary. So secondary question, how long after the statements are taken from the bank must they be used for the visa renewal? If the statements are requested on the 1st I aim to renew on the 9th. Should be fine?

I got my DTV visa for Thailand ✅
