Does anyone have recommendations for renting condos in Bangkok? I have been looking into renting a condo using facebook groups however i am running into issues.

,

I’d like to ask for advice from those who have registered a foreign marriage in Thailand and obtained Kor Ror 22 at a district office (Amphur).

I’ve heard that some Amphurs keep the original foreign marriage certificate, while others only keep a certified copy. We only have one original document, so I’m a bit concerned.

Does anyone have recent experience with an Amphur that did not retain the original and accepted copies instead?

I understand that procedures can vary by district and may change over time — just hoping to learn from others’ experiences to choose the best option.

Thank you so much in advance!

Thai bank account & moving to a new province

I’ve had a DTV since earlier in the year and managed to open a bank account shortly after (wasn’t easy).

I’m planning to move to a new city and province in the next month.

I’m reluctant to inform my local branch in case it causes issues (e.g. order me to close and reopen a new account at my new local branch or even just re-review and clsoe account given my visa type)

My questions for those of you who have experience of Thai banking;

1. Do I need to inform the branch where I opened the account that I’m moving province?

2. If I don’t inform them are there any drawbacks or consequences to this?

For extra context; I haven’t had need to go into the local branch since opening. I have other multiyear investment products / bonds tied to the account which is win/win to keep open for both myself and the branch. Total volume going though the account is reasonably high and account is well used.

Hiya everyone I've been on holiday twice already this year staying with my girlfriend at her home in udon Thani I've booked and paid for a flight back over Christmas 16th dec till 5th of January and didn't realise i would need a visa and now no time to get one I'm from the UK and have a UK passport over the last few years I've been 6 times with no problems any advice or do I cancel and lose my money for the flight

Applied for DTV Visa for me and my girlfriend on the 1st December from HCMC Vietnam. Was asked for 6 months of bank statements, proof of work (portfolio) etc. provided all documents and got requested for more, motivation letter and source of funds. Mine has been approved, my girlfriends rejected. Absolutely gutted. She hit all the requirements and we are very unsure as to what possibly could have gone wrong. The whole process was extremely stressful and anxiety inducing and now has completely messed up my future plans for Thailand. Question, we have been in Thailand for 90 days from Feb - May 2025 and then was in England for 3 months. We then got back to Thailand end of August and left for Vietnam at the end of November. What’s our chances of getting a tourist visa approved for my girlfriend (not an exemption) ? This has thrown a complete spanner in the works and the fact that some people have been approved from 1 month of bank statements is genuinely concerning. Why are all the embassies requiring different things? Can’t believe it 😭

Hello everyone, may I ask something?

I’m French, and on my French passport there is no middle name (French passports usually list only the given name and the surname).

For the Thai eVisa form, should I leave the ‘middle name’ field blank?

Example

Given name -H,K

Surname -Moses

Should I support to put K in the middle name form?

Will it cause any issue or rejection?

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone!

I’m applying for a visa and I don’t have enough funds in my personal bank account to meet the financial requirement. My father is willing to support me and sponsor me, but I’m not sure what kind of documents I need to provide to show this.

Does anyone know what I should prepare?

For example:

A sponsorship letter from my father?

Proof of his income or bank statements?

A declaration that he will cover my expenses?

If anyone has experience with this or has gone through something similar, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you so much!

Hello,

If we have a flight on 9th of January from Gatwich until 23 of January when we will have our flight back. Wat exactly do we need on the entry in Thailand? Cash? How much per person or couple? TDAC? Accomodation? Do we need to have anything printed or is ok on the phone?

Thank you!

I’ve got tickets booked to arrive in Thailand next week. This will be my fourth visit for the year. Others being in March, June and October. Each visit, I stay for 3 weeks. Genuine tourist. Have return flight back to Australia paid for. Accomodation booked. Enough cash to pass the 20,000 baht test. Have I got anything to be concerned about? As in, entry refusal?

Do you think I might have any issues with re-entry?

Before getting the DTV (soft power) visa, I visited Thailand twice (1 week in 2017 and 2 months Sep-Nov in 2024).

This year, after receiving the DTV, I stayed in Thailand for the full 180 days from June to the end of November.

I’m planning to re-enter in early January after spending some time in Vietnam.

Is there any possibility I could be refused(or questioned) entry just because I used the full 180 days and then come back only a month later?
