Have a good day!

I will apply for a Non O Immigrant visa for 3 month staying in HuaHin. Totally I intend to stay there for 5 month. If I don't get an extension, can I leave the country and get in for for further two month visafree?

I cannot get an OA Visum, because the Thai embassy in Vienna forces a medial certificare only by a public hospital, and they don't do this, no certificate for travel reasons possible....

Thank you!

Has anyone had the experience of getting a new passport issued, having already been registered for online 90 day reporting on a Non O visa based retirement with their old passport number?

I will do my first report at immigration with my TM30 updated to the new passport number.

Just wondering if they update the online TM47 on the old account (passport number) so that it can be continued to be used.

Or whether a new registration is required

Thank in advance.

Does anyone have any experience of getting or trying to get a yellow house book (ท.ร.13) as a DTV holder? Thanks.

Hey! I have a question about the DTV visa on medical grounds. Does it have to be a necessary procedure, or can it be a package like a full health screening?

Has anyone got approved through things like allergy testing or a full health screening?

Thanks in advance!

Yesterday I went to our local immigration office to obtain a re-entry permit. I have a couple of trips planned so I asked him if I require to do a new digital TM6 as I return on the 2nd May. Basically my logic says no as I've been issued a permit. The IO was unable to answer the question.
