I've been to Thailand several times but taking advantage of the tourist visa from 30 to 60 GG. I am retired and from January I would like to stop a bit more, say 3 or 4 months. What are the available options? I read something on the embassy's website but some things were not clear .... thank you for accepting me and thank you for any advices

Good evening everyone I was born in Italy but I have been living in London for 26 years. I am 59 years old and would really like to retire in Thailand where I have already traveled several times and where I met a lady and would like to get married. Question: what do I need from A to Z to do this? bank account, visas, if I need to have a house with her etc.. Thank you all so much

Hi everyone. I have read the posts and I’m writing this just to confirm I understand. I’m here on the DTV visa. I plan on going out of the country every 90 days (slightly before my 90days). If I do this continuously will I ever have to report for the 90 day in person reporting?

I got married in December. I was on a 90 day O-visa. I want to be able to go to Thailand for 6months every year and spend 6 months back in USA. What's the best option for me? I was thinking marriage visa, is this my best option?

My landlord (not tech savvy) is in a different province, and says she will do my TM30... in 3 weeks.

I need to do my 90-day report in 2 weeks. What can I do?

Hi! I will possibly apply for DTV but when on a side trip from Thailand. I plan to have 45 days in the land, then 2 weeks in Bali. Come back and do another 45 or 50 days (all on visa exempt entries) and have another 2-4 weeks somewhere else. I don't plan on doing it a third time. Just wanted to know which country is the easiest to submit the DTV and if it isn't processed in time can I still enter Thailand while I wait? The other option is we apply through the school my child will attend and therefore won't the DTV but won't know if we are staying more permanently until we have trialled life for at least a few months. The above was the only option I could see working well without spending time and money on visas we may not need. Any advice welcomed. No hate please. Thanks

Hello!

My DTV was approved in Manila and I re-entered Thailand with no issues at all or questioning yesterday, 180 days stamped.

At my 90 day report do I need to present my TM 30? Is there any guidance on what you will need to bring on the 90 day report, and whether you'll be required to present all of your documentation again?

I live in a house, not a condo so I have to manage renewing my own TM30 at immigration myself.

Thank you very much ☺️
