ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS:

IMMIGRATION OFFICE CLOSURE FOR SONGKRAN

Remember people all immigration offices in the country close at 4:30PM today (Friday the 11th) and will not re-open until 8:30AM Thursday the 17th

If you have a stamp that expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day the immigration office is open you can get your extension like normal (you will get an overstay stamp in your passport but will not be fined)

I would hazard a guess and say that ALL offices in the country will be mobbed with people next Thursday when they re-open and if you don't have to go, DON'T..

Borders are open like usual, they don't close for holidays

Have a Safe & Happy Songkran everyone !!

Morning all

Arriving in Thailand on 3rd May for 45 days.

I know to fill in the new TDAC 3 days before arrival.

Was hoping to get the 60 day visa on arrival, but I keep seeing on other groups on here that they have/planning to reduce it to 30 days again?

Has it happened, or is it still 60 days? If it’s already dropped back to 30 days, how’s easiest to remain for the 45 days?

Thanks everyone

Good morning. Does anyone have a list of what is required to renew my O retirement visa at Krabi immigration. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all.

Hi, do I need to submit the 90-day report 90 days after I last entered Thailand, or 90 days after my most recent extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national?

Thank you

Dear members.

I have a expert visa on my old passeport, and got my new passeport from french embassy in Thailand (never left the country with it).

Can I leave the country with both passeport and comeback on the same visa (carrying both passeport)?

Many thanks

Seeking clarification -

When applying for the one year extension of stay based on the initial Non O retirement (90days) at counters L at CW - bangkok- we bring back the same lot of documents - housebook lease bank statement etc and get the passport stamped the same day or is there again a 15 days consideration period ?

Basically we get it the same day just planning one full day sitting there correct?

Can I do a one month Visa extension if I only have 5 months left on my passport?

I am planning to go to Bangkok the first week of May. This will be my first trip there. I bought a round trip ticket based on the US requirement of no visa needed for 60 days plus the request of 30 more days. I based my return trip on them granting my request for the extra 30 days. For those who have done this, is it OK ?

Tickets are expense and mine is non refundable but I can change it if needed for an additional charge. Thanks for your input.

I got a new passport and need to transfer the stamps over to a new passport.

Is there any cost associated with this?

What's the process?

Anyone open to sharing their experience?

My wife was a teacher here in the past, but had to leave her job due to a health issue a few months ago. She has been on a medical visa for these few months, but, her health all mended, her visa expires 1 April.

She has been here on her US passport, but she also has a Brazilian passport.

I am retired here on a non-O.

My question is this: what are her alternatives for staying here until she can land in a new teaching position? When we first arrived here many years ago she was my trailing spouse, then later a student, then later on a work visa. Alternatives I see are leaving and then returning as a tourist, or bringing her back under my visa.

Any ideas that I'm missing? Thanks in advance!
