What is the best Visa to apply for if I want to come out with idea to look for place to live? Area. I don’t think tourist visa with 60+ 30 will be enough time. I’ve spent 3 months there on Holliday touring the country but lool at it for living.
I have my Non-O Visa and have the 90 day stamp. It is time to go back and get the one year stamp and Im wondering if anyone has done this in the last year?
I need to know what documents/forms I should take?
The various websites I have checked are contradicting each other or are a bit worthless (also immigration was not very specific when I was there getting the 90-day). Im trying to keep it to as few trips as possible.
Good evening everyone . I have a quick question we are doing the soft power Muay Thai . I want to ask I see Indonesia ask for South Africans citizens a KITAS or KITAP ( temp resident or permanent resident permit ) does anyone know if this is asked or have any information about this ? If this is true , would Vietnam or Cambodia be a better option to go and apply ?
I'm doing my DTV application now. And I have accommodation with the muay thai gym I go for the soft power visa.
So, in the section where you put your accommodation, I have one night in Bangkok, then the day after, I will travel to the city where the gym is and have three nights' accommodation somewhere else before I go to the gym.
I only have 2 accommodation types I can fill in.
What is best to do? Skip the second accommodation in the form and just do Bangkok and then the gym?
I will be retiring to Krabi in July. Can anyone recommend an area in Krabi where I can live close enough to access to street food but still have a place that feels like I am living immersed in nature.
Ps. If this is not the appropriate forum for this question. Can you please recommend a group where this question would be relevant. Thanks again. 😊

I'm living in Bangkok on a DTV and going to Hanoi for 5 days and want to purchase Allianz travel insurance; do I purchase the policy through the US web site, the Thai web site, or does it matter ?
We are interested in coming to Thailand long term from Canada, and curious what visa is best to arrive on. We are mid 30s, have a few rentals as our main source of income.
We will be enrolling our daughter in an international school in Phuket and
We also want to start up our dog business there.
What would be correct visa for us to apply for ?
I was thinking the guardians visa from the school as I’ve heard they assist with getting it but unsure if I can open/run a business on this visa?
Any recommendations for good visa agencies in either Bangkok or Phuket that could help us?
I read on a website that you need a police check from your home country to get a retirement visa. Thats the first time I’ve read that and wanted to check that’s correct? Also wanted to check if anyone who has gone through the process got one before going to Thailand?
