Hey everyone, enjoy reading the posts here. I’m heading over to Thailand mid to end of July for around 5 weeks. Coming from Australia. Not a big partier. Would love to travel around a bit see as much as I can. And meet the local people. My question is quite broad, wondering what are the must see places to visit Also wondering if there might be something that needs to be done that often gets forgotten in preperation for the trip, even if you think it might be the simplest of things? Anybody recommend a travel insurance that’s suited for Thailand. Also thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi, I need to clarify an important step for being finally a teacher in this beautiful country 🤩

So when I went to Malaysia 2 weeks ago (to send all documents to Penang embassy and change my tourist visa in non-b) I had an issue, my school was not updated about eVisa and didn't give me some paper so I went back in with another tourist visa.

Now I need to go out again to show them the evisa request arrived yesterday (after so many troubles and lack of help from embassy or evisa service) and finally get the stamp of non-b visa on my passport (I still don't have a work permit but I should get it pretty soon and I don't think that because of this it should be a problem to get the non b at the border, but in case just let me know).

Can I do this border stamp in any border thai I like in Thailand (in this case Ranong that's shorter distance) or I forcely MUST go in the same embassy where I requested my eVisa (in this case, Penang)?

I think it should fine Ranong, please bring me some good news 😋

Hi guys, I'm almost finished the online application to Jakarta from Bali. Please I have a question if anyone can advise:

My bank statement address is from UK as I lived in London for many years but my passport is Irish and my home address is listed as my Irish home address.

Will this create a problem?

I could easily change my home address to match the UK bank statement address but will they then question why my home address is UK but passport is Irish?

Would matching addresses be better or is having an Irish home address better?

Ugh I'm so confused thank you in advance for any advice which is better🙏🙏🙏

Thank you🤗

Question about switching international schools while on Non-Ed student and Non-O guardian visas:

My child and I currently have a Non-ED and Non-O guardian visa, and we are on our first 1 year extension now. We are thinking of moving to a different international school in another province in Thailand for the next school year. Can I just get the documentation from the new school showing that my child has been accepted and we’ve paid the new school fees and “update” our existing visas (since the school switch would take place before the next 1 year renewal) to reflect the new school information and our new address or would we have to start over from scratch, from outside Thailand?

Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Looking for health insurance for both me and my husband, we are in our mid 50's, I've tried looking but have to admit it's all above my head, so looking for someone to aid us in purchasing some, thanks

Edit: we are in Phuket

Dear all, another quick question if I may. I'm completing the evisa application and it asks for my occupation. I automatically stated my current role but I'm retiring before our planned arrival date in Thailand and plan to apply for a retirement visa once we complete the paper chase. Should I put retired on mine and my wife's applications? The supporting bank statements will show a monthly income at the time of application. As ever, thanks in advance for your advice.

I am on DTV. On first entry I stayed in a hotel then got a condo.

I am currently out of Thailand and will be back in a few weeks.

If the IO asks about my accommodation, Can I mention that I have got a condo on an annual lease? And show if the lease document if asked.

Or rather, I should do a hotel booking and cancel it later.

What people are doing usually?

I am sure they hardly ever ask for accommodation, but just in case.

Applied for a DTV in Warsaw first thing today. Just got asked to provide all pages of my passport. I read here they do that to confirm I'm not in Thailand, and I'm a bit confused... I got back from Bangkok a week ago but this time didn't get an exit stamp cause I was sent through these automatic passport control devices (e-gates they were called?). Would this be an issue? Would they bother to ask for further proof (I have my boarding passes etc. I can easily proof I did actually come back) or will they just throw me under the bus?

I’ve applied for the dtv muy Thai In the Netherlands. I had a ed visa before and now they want an interview.

What do you think they will ask? Bit nervous about this

When applying for my DTV is it okay to apply in the UK with my 500k baht in my Spanish bank as I live in Spain but will be in the UK when applying!

Have read a lot of posts but still can’t quite understand it properly sorry!

Ant advice or help would be much appreciated, thank you 😇
