Applied for the non-immigration O 90 day retirement visa on December 4th. Granted today, 23rd December. London.

Go into Thailand on 25th January so my next challenge is to get the retirement extension for a year.

Just looking for a piece of advice . I made a slight cock up of my departure from BKK next March. I have a Non O visa (marriage) and with an extension I will be 1 day over on departure.

In all the decades I have visited here I have never overstayed.

I will be going for my extension next month. Is it possible that Immigration could allow me that extra day?

Applied for a DTV visa from London Embassy, am currently on ‘pending approval’ stage. Have been for 5 days so far. Would love to speak to someone at the embassy as flight is quickly approaching. Has anyone had any luck with phone calls/replying to emails?

DTV

I'm currently in the process of doing my DTV visa but the embassy is asking for additional documents.

Do you think it would be okay if I didn't add the additional documents and basically put it on hold , whilst I travel into Thailand because I have to do a training course at one of the offshore centers in Pattaya, then one that is done , fly back to Vietnam and then upload the documents.

My tax filings are typically 80-100 pages.

Any ideas why they need the past 2 years of my taxes? Can I just submit the income tax paperwork related to my job?

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding Thailand re-entry visa.

Is it possible for someone (family member) to submit the re-entry visa application on my behalf at Samut Prakan Immigration Office, or I must go by myself?

I’d prefer to avoid doing it at the airport due to long queues during this holiday season.

Appreciate any recent experiences or guidance.

Thank you 🙏
