Hi everyone,

I submitted my application in person for a residence certificate to buy a car at Bangkok Immigration Division 1 last Friday. They gave me a receipt with a reference number and told me to pick it up on April 10.

Do you think it’s possible to try to get it earlier than the scheduled date? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello to everyone!

I will be applying for my 1 year extension of my non-O retirement visa soon in Bangkok.

May I ask if anyone knows weather there have been any changes to the requirements, procedures or even to the customs & uses or if there is any additional advice since one year ago?

Thank you so much!🙏

My mom has been staying with me for the past 50 days or so. We need to extend for 30 days due to the flight situation in the Middle East.

My landlord hasn’t submitted a TM30 for her.

Is the TM30 needed for extension in Bangkok? If so is it possible to submit it this late OR would it be better to check into a hotel for a night before extension (if that’s a solution).

Arrived in Bangkok on Wednesday morning — immigration took less than a minute. Got my 6-month stamp through my DTV (since 2024), no questions asked. Completed the TDAC one day before departure, so everything was smooth.

The journey from Malta via Istanbul couldn’t have gone better. Both Turkish Airlines and Thai Airways delivered an excellent travel experience.

Grateful to be back in the Land of Smiles ❤️

DTV Extension

What’s everybody’s experience with extending the DTV visa in any of the Bangkok immigration offices? I understand the 500k needs to be in a bank account for 30 days +

And your paperwork basically needs updating to the reverent dates?

I know there’s quite a lot of mixed reports on the success of the extensions , wondering what people’s experience are before I make any decisions.

(People doing border runs to reset the 180 days of your DTV entry… are you returning to Thailand the same day or??)

Any genuine experience or information would be appreciated 👍

Hi! Im going to apply for 30 day

visa extension in Bangkok for the first time. I just wanted to see if I can get there in the afternoon and still get the extension done the same day or do I have to go early to ensure I get it the same day?

On a 90 day non-o Imm visa for retirement. Currently live in Bangkok. Will be going ro Bangkok immigration on 26Feb to apply for the extension of stay. But am moving to hua hin on 1Mar.

The landlord in hua hin just asked me if i wanted them to do the TM30 for me(very helpful and proactive of them). But I will still be living in Bangkok when I go to immigration. Immigration will want or may ask for the current(Bangkok) TM30 right? And not a TM30 that won’t actually be accurate until 3 days later.

Thanks
