Could an American expat, married to a Thai woman, apply for a family based Non-O visa, come in, and just before the 90 days expires, leave, then apply again for the same visa, and do this repeatedly? Will the embassy abroad or the IO tell him to get a yearly extension or else? Tnx.

PS. Have already extended five times in as many years, but the current 400k THB may have to be used for other necessities.

What is the best Visa to apply for if I want to come out with idea to look for place to live? Area. I don’t think tourist visa with 60+ 30 will be enough time. I’ve spent 3 months there on Holliday touring the country but lool at it for living.

Thanks

🙄 Hi members.

Hit a big snag when doing E-visa..I'm 70 years old.

Been passed good to travel

By Doctors... this is where problems start.

Because I've had Major operations no insurance company wants to know me.

They all push me to Insurance Brokers who want a arm and leg... I'm applying for non immigrant OA..

It's asking for insurance policies..any way around insurance.. have funds to cover my self..plus the money you need for Bank.

Am I looking at wrong visa

Is there a better option.

Have home but can't live in it.

PS.. in Thai Girlfriend name

Thanks..

Hello I am from Australia and am 41 and im looking to spend a year living in Thailand to test the waters before I fully commit to selling up and coming over full time. I'm not looking to take on and work and have enough funds to support myself during my stay. What visa will I need to do so? Sorry in advance for being uninformed on the subject!

Considering my already overloaded plate. I'm sure I'll need a "Agent" to get through this extensive process ig Visa application, I can't even imagine how I'd do this alone ? Any suggestions for a Reputable Visa agent ? Yes,,I've visited Thailand, 60 days of bliss, my life is changed. Thanks ps. I'm still in Florida right now, my visit was limited to Phuket, mainly Rawai and Patong. I plan to live near Isaan or Chang Mai..maybe Udon ?

Hi, I need some information, I want to extend my non-O visa for 2 months but I know we need TM30... By the way... My wife is from Buriram and we applied for TM30 on her Buriram address but now we have moved to Ayutthaya and she now lives in Demetri and I live with her... Demetri does not fill out TM30 for foreigners so I am confused how to get an extension for 2 months... Please suggest me how can I do? Can I still apply for an extension at Ayutthaya immigration based on TM30 on Buriram address? What can I do please suggest... Thanks

Heloo group,,thanks for the invite ! I'm Bub, my dad and I were just in/on Phuket for 49 days, we had to cut our trip short do to a unfortunate health issue my dad had. Our trip was exploratory in nature, we plan to make a home near Hau Hin/Isaan or ? We were both very impressed with the quality of people, foods, places and overall livability for us. Moving forward, we want to return asap, August ? However, after discovering this group, I'm a bit concerned,,seems there may be some difficulties with returning after a short time, like more than once per year ? Any encouraging words will be appreciated.,Thanks again.

Everybody what's up I just wanted to make a quick post about a few things I'm currently doing documentaries about Thailand and certain places but I'm just trying to probably find a more permanent place to stay somewhere here in Southeast Asia been thinking about Cambodia but here in Thai visa forms I joined originally to see what I could do about my situation since I am a younger American I'm not really wealthy enough to have a VIP but at the same exact time I know that when it comes to maybe in the future if it comes to reentry what would be some advice as far as coming back into Thailand for say to visit a family friend and or documentaries? Or would just be hopping over just as long as I don't do it as often and be okay?
