I applied non-O 90 days e-visa online in home country yesterday and receive reply to ask for "proof of long-term accommodation in Thailand". Can I use the first 10 days hotel booking reciept as proof(I plan to find long term rental house during the fist 10 days after enter Thailand) ?
Might seem like a silly question, but wanted to ask anyway. While the DTV is the prime choice for long terms stays, can a METV visa be suitable for someone who plans to live in Thailand about 3 weeks out of the month, and return the following month? I know its validity is for 60 days and can be extended to an additional 30 days. Would someone have difficulty entering Thailand frequently?
The more I read about the various problems with Thailand visas and the multitude of complications, the less interested I'm becoming. I'm in Siem Reap atm and it seems very pleasant, probably like living somewhere such as Isaan, minus the hassles.
I have DTV and will have been here almost 6 months when I leave at the end of March. I plan on returning to Thailand early may after sorting Tax etc back in the UK. Anyone with a DTV had any issues returning so soon after leaving???
He’s a 70-year-old UK citizen with about £80k in savings in his UK bank account. He’s been with his Thai partner for 12 years, but they’re not legally married. They both live in tge UK and are willing to relocate.
From what I understand, a Non-O visa based on staying with Thai family requires a marriage certificate, which he doesn’t have.
The Non-O- A retirement visa (1 year) seems to require a lot more paperwork.
So my question is: how can someone in his situation apply for an initial 90-day Non-O visa from the UK if they’re not married? Can he apply based on retirement only (over 50), or would he need a different visa first?
