Hi folks, on Nov 30th my 2 month Visa Exemption will expire. I’m now in a town where I can do a visa exemption extension.

My question is, because there are still 5 days before my visa exemption expires, if I do the extension now, will the extension begin from the Nov 30th expiry, OR will it start from the moment the visa officer validates the extension?

Big thanks 🙏😊

Hi. I'm retired this year and would like to stay in Thailand. I want to make a combination of 9 months Thailand and 3 months Belgium to see my kids. June, July and August I would be gone. I can prove I have 65.000 Baht every month but I not have the 800K to put in a bank. What kind of visum should I ask?

Thanks, Mario Belgium

Approved in Phnom Penh, Cambodia after ~22 business days.

Applied on Oct 6. Embassy requested more docs on Oct 7. Pending approval since Oct 8 or 9. And then approved on Nov 7.

Took way longer than expected. I called one time to ask for an update, and they said they would look into it. A week later, nothing. Called again today, and they approved it within an hour.

Hello guys, What’s the longest time it usually takes to get DTV approved in Cambodia? Mine has been pending for 20 days and still hasn’t been approved.

Hey yall! I'm moving to Thailand in August on a student visa

From what I understand the visa is an initial 90 and can be extended up to a year, so I'm assuming I'd have to renew every year for the 4 years of University.

My question is, do I have to leave Thailand and go back? And is there a specific amount of time I have to stay out of Thailand between visas?

Because of money, I'd like to travel as little as possible. Is there a way to renew my visa another year, but stay in country?

I’m arriving in Thailand on a 90day Non O retirement visa over 50 from UK at the end of the month. I’ve already got 800k in a Thai bank account for over two months. I’ll be living with my girlfriend near Maha Sarakham. What documents do I need to apply for a 12 month extension. Not using an agent?

Can somebody clarify - I have only been here for 70 days and cannot file a 90 day report.

In order to get a Thai drivers license am I required to have a 90 day report?

My research shows that I need

1. Residency certificate.

2. Valid IDP and US drivers license

3. Medical Certificate

4. TM 30

I want to get it done ASAP and I was planning on leaving prior to my 90 day report anyway for a weekend Vietnam trip.
