Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been answered but I couldn't find it.

I'm 51 and moving to Thailand in January with my wife who is under 50.

Both would qualify for the DTV visa but I can obviously qualify for the 'Retirement' visa.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a site/ document etc which compares these visas and or offers alternatives if there are any.

Thanks in advance for the information.

Hi all. I've got a couple of question on completing the TM47 for the 90 day report.

1 The written at question, I've got no idea what to put here

2 Entered Thailand on (By)

3 Tambol and Amphur

Also, I'd like to confirm what documentation is needed for the 90 day. the TM47 itself (obviously), Passport, and from memory I think there was 1 other piece of documentation that was needed but it escapes me now.

I've added an attachment highlighting the areas on the TM47 that my questions relate to.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Does anyone know how much it costs for the requirements For the soft activity paperwork for the DTV

Is there an alternative immigration office in Bangkok besides Chaeng Wattana?

To be based in Prawet/Suan Luang I was hoping there might be an alternative!!

Hi everyone, I’d truly appreciate the group’s help.

I submitted DTV applications for my wife and kids (as dependents) at the Thai Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City 21 days ago (I already hold a DTV visa as a remote worker).

After 5 days, their applications changed to “Pending Approval”, and they’ve been stuck there for more than 2 weeks.

I’ve tried calling the consulate (no answer) and sent emails (no reply).

Does anyone know how to expedite this process? Or can anyone recommend an agent who has a direct line to the consulate?

Thanks so much in advance!

Are there any Retirement Visa Options for a 42 year with full pension ?

Thank you all for your input think I'll go down the DTV soft power route as love cooking.

What’s the best company or law firm in Pattaya to get your retirement visa

New Question

I work in Thailand and I am married to a Thai citizen. Presently I have a Non-Immigrant B working visa. I found a new job in a different province. My current school will cancel my visa and work permit on my last day of employment with them. I went to the Thai immigration office today to ask some questions. The immigration officer told me the following:

1) Since I am married to a Thai citizen, I can get a one-time 30 day extension of my Non Immigrant B visa for the purposes of visiting my wife.

2) During these 30 days my visa status will continue to be a Non-Immigrant B visa.

3) During these 30 days I can transfer the visa to my new school.

I have been living in Thailand for 25 years and change jobs several times but I have never hear of anything like this. Are these 3 points correct?
