Hello! I've applied for a 90-day visa, and it's authorized. Once I arrive, they'll automatically give me 60 days in my passport, and I have to go to an immigration office to get an extension for another 30. Does anyone know where the immigration offices are and what they require? Thank you.

Hello, I'm interested in obtaining a DTV visa through Muay Thai gym, with the intention of changing it at a later date. Could anyone here who has gone through this process please offer some general advice and/or tips on it, as well as recommend any good gyms to contact for this. Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with processing times for a non-immigrant B visa at the Chicago consulate? I know the website says 15 business days, but was wondering how accurate that's been in people's experience. I am waiting on a letter from the HR for the Thai company I'm going to be working for. I plan on traveling on June 23rd (I haven't bought a ticket yet), and I am trying to figure out how close I might be cutting it.

I'm on a retirement visa that needs to be renewed in September. I may need to leave Thailand next month and return in October. Is there some way of being able to extend the RV before I get back, or some other way to handle this without having to start the whole RV application process again from scratch when I return to Thailand in October?

Hi everyone, I'm planning to apply for the retirement visa. I already have a Thai bank account. Just wondering - is it difficult to do the application myself without an agent? I speak English but not Thai. Appreciate any advice!

Hello, I will be entering Thailand soon and my accommodation is at a friend's house. If I write my home address in the "where are you staying" section of the TDAC form, will the immigration officer question me? Or should I make a hotel reservation for 1-3 days and write the hotel address?

I'm supposed to do my 90 day reporting on 10th of June, but I'm going to England on 9th June for a while. So I don't need to do the reporting?

Thanks in advance
