Could somebody please tell me if i need to go to Jakarta for one day and return to Thailand the same day how do i navigate the new entry visa requirements
I am on a retirement visa in Thailand but need to pickup my daughter from Indonesia and bring her to Thailand for a holiday
She is to frightened to travel on her own and she is only 12
Just been to Samut Prakan immigration for a 1 year extension. Instead of asking me to come back in 30 days with updated bank book, they’ve asked me to come back on the day my non O 90 day visa expires (about 50 days from now)
I can do this but was thinking of doing a trip in those extra 20 days. Don’t really want to do a re entry to then get another reentry on the extension.
Question is, is this the rule or did they mess it up? Could have sworn it was 30 days from application.
How late can you do your 90 days report and how early can you do your retirement extension ? Reason for asking: 90 days report is due 22/7 and my retirement extension is due 25/8. Possible to do both with just one visit to immigration ?
Hey all! My husband and I are hoping to get the DTV visa. Does anyone know how long the 500k baht has to stay in the bank before applying? Also, do most people just apply themselves online or use a lawyer? I've tried to meet with a few and I've felt a bit scammed honestly...Thanks in advance!!
I bet no one has asked this question. I am a watch collector, not expensive watches about £150/£200, and was going to take about 8 with me when I go to Thailand next, will I have any problems with customs
I am half Thai (I have thai ID, passport) and helping my wife to apply for 3 months Non-O immigrant visa, are these options correct to apply the e-visa? What confuses me is the purpose of visit option says Thai Family (me as a husband?) residing in Thailand. However I "haven't" reside yet, so we only will stay in AirBnb first. Am I on the right track? I cant find another better option to choose
Further Questions for Non-O immigrant visa application for my wife. no.4. Can the financial evidence be the local currency of her local bank Country? It does not have to be Thai Bank right? We do not have any Thai Banks account yet
I had a friend who didn’t do 90 day report and he left the country. Will he have an issue coming back? Shouldn’t they have pulled him up at immigration when leaving and possibly give him a fine or something?
I have a DTV. Been here for years and done many 90 day reports online. This is my first time with the DTV. Do I still need to go to immigration in person even though I already have done online reporting before? (Seeing this would be the first time with a DTV)
