I got my DTV visa approved for Thailand, but my plans changed. My flight was delayed by about a month, so my entry date and departure location are different from what I submitted. I’ll enter Thailand about 4 months after applying.

Has anyone had a similar situation? Did it cause any issues or require any updates?

Thanks!

Non O visa marriage applicant 😢 Skip the 40k income documents. Just came back from Chaengwattana Immigration and they’ve confirmed they are only accepting the 400,000 THB deposit for Non-O Marriage extensions/renewals now.

​Doesn't matter what the latest article says—the officers at the desk have the final word.

*take a look at the photo and the officer specifically highlighted that to me before asking me to leave and come back with 400k baht deposit *

What I have :

- Thailand company employment letter

- tax pnd 91 form

- tax Tawi 50 form

- bank statement proof I have a Thai company crediting salary into Thai bank every month > 40k baht income

Visa cancelation.

In December 2025, I've got my NON-B E-visa approved in Vientiane, Laos and I got 90days, unfortunately my employee decided not to employ me, when I asked him how do I cancel the visa, he said I dont need to because it wasn't issued by the immigration in thailand it was issued by an embassy.

My question is can I go immigration and cancel and recieve the 7days grace?

Please let me know

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get a DTV digital nomad visa. Is there anyway of paying extra if you don't have the necessary funds in your bank account for someone to help you out?

I have had DTV for two years but never renewed the muay thai part after it lapsed 6 months in. I have never had an issue upon entry but am wondering whether I should buy another 6 months. The rules are not clear. What are others doing?

After receiving a retirement Visa are you given a certain amount of time before you must enter Thailand? I assume you are given a time limit after which the visa becomes invalid

I need some information. I have a Non-B 1-year extension that will expire in late February of this year. I don't plan to apply for a new extension as I'm planning to apply for a different kind of visa from outside of Thailand. In this case, can I just leave Thailand and will the visa expire automatically after the expiry date, or do I need to go to immigration to cancel it?

My DTV expires in less than five years time at which time I will be old enough to apply for a retirement visa non o probably. Can I apply for the new retirement visa from within Thailand before my DTV expires or do I have to apply for it from outside Thailand? Thanks 🙏
