Hi All, I am a UK resident wanting to retire to Thailand early next year, I want to apply for a marriage visa whilst in thailand, I have a Thai wife and a son from previous Thai marriage, I will have the 60 day visa exemption, where do I go from there, advice greatly appreciated.

What happens if you leave Thailand at the end of your non b visa without cancelling it or going to immigration in your local province?

DTV issued yesterday in Philippines.

Landed today DMK.

Didn’t check my tdac.

Zero questions. Stamp for 6 months.

I had my visa printed out and gave it with my passport and the agent set it to the side and then grabbed it later.

I used to have an extension permit on work permit but It didn’t have been cancelled officially , then I entered Thailand on tourist visa while I guess my extension permit was valid , now I hold multiple entry tourist visa .

Do you think I would face any issues in the future if I apply for long term visa due to my uncanceled extension permit ?!

Thank you

Hello all,

This is a "& more" post. I have had a Bangkok Bank account with digital banking for a couple of years now. Recently, I purchased a new phone and need to go through the set up process for digital banking again. With all of the news about foreigners' accounts getting suspended for no longer qualifying (long term visa, property ownership), what is the best course of action to get assistance in configuration of digital banking on my new phone? Do I risk it and just go into a branch, contact an agent to assist in the matter or something else?

I use my account frequently to pay my rent, utilities and typical day-to-day stuff like buying food or ordering items from Lazada. Losing it would significantly complicate my financial responsibilities.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions !

I'm a US citizen and have visited Thailand many times over the years, always with the visa-exempt 30/60 day stamp. But times have changed and I want a long-term visa and I'm considering all options, including the DTV Muay Thai option. My question concerns age: I'm 60+ and worried that if I apply for the DTV Muay Thai, it will be denied based on my age. Anyone else had this issue?

Yesterday got approved for my 5 year DTV. Hope everyone get approve for the visa, see y'all in thailand next month.

So this happend today 😅👍

Start: 10/07/2025

Dropped all my files in compressed pdf’s on their website…

Thanks for the help guys! See you in Thailand! 🙏🏻

Hi everyone,

I could use your advice on Thai immigration.

Here’s my situation:

• I first entered Thailand on a 3-month tourist visa,

• Then I switched to a 1-year ED visa,

• After that expired, I did a 1-month visa run.

During the visa run, it was a close call: the immigration officer pulled me aside and only let me in after I booked a return flight on the spot. I was on crutches and explained that I needed more time in Thailand to fully recover.

Now I’ve been out of Thailand for almost 2 months, and I’d really like to go back — I miss it a lot, to be honest.

My question is:

👉 If I fly in without a visa (I’m eligible for a 60-day visa exemption), is there a risk they’ll deny me entry at the airport?

I’m planning to stay on this 60-day exemption and then apply for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) once my funds have been in my account for 3 months (the required 500,000 THB).

I know I’m a bit impatient to get back 😅 but I want to avoid any trouble at the border.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I have a Bangkok Bank account. I opened it myself at a branch, not through an agent, but I currently don't have a long-term visa. This account has always been functional, and I've been able to log in to the mobile app. However, a few days ago, after I changed my phone, when I tried to log in again, a page appeared asking me to contact the branch. I've heard that Bangkok Bank is currently cleaning up some accounts, but my account has been used for some time and was fully compliant when it was opened. If I visit a branch, is it possible to restore my account access? I've searched through old posts from two months ago, when the situation first began, and I've found conflicting opinions. I'd like to know if anyone has had any personal experience with a similar situation. I'm currently traveling elsewhere in Southeast Asia, and I'm considering whether it's worth adjusting my plans to visit Thailand sooner. Thanks.
