Can Americans obtain background checks while residing in Thailand? My current background check is set to expire in five weeks, and I intend to apply for a different visa in Thailand. I believe it would be prudent to have more than a few weeks remaining on the background check, considering the unpredictable nature of the visa process, which could potentially take several weeks.

LTR Visa question. On my last trip to Thailand I received my 10 year LTR WP visa. It expires in 2028 with my passport expiration.

On my next trip to Thailand will they still stamp my passport on arrival? If so, what should I expect the stamp to say about how long I am allowed to stay? Do I need to point out my LTR visa stamp at immigration? Is it helpful to use fastrack immigration on arrival?

Thank you

What is the procedure for re- entering the country on a LTR visa. Does this re-entry thru airport count as (checking in) Or Do I need to submit another tm30 and apply for new resident certificate. Im renting a condo 1 yr lease in Jomtien passport stamped dec 2029

Here's another one, please remember these are just thought's,ideas going through my head to help the process of retiring in Thailand, this is not just for me it's for anyone who needs simple answers to simple questions, anyway what's the thoughts on the bronze elite visa, it is expensive but would it solve a lot of problems, or is it just a posh tourist visa, ps no sarcasm please like on my last few posts we are all trying to learn the ins and outs of living in a gorgeous country called Thailand,

Any recommendations for retirement visa please

Hello to everyone? Does Thailand has now a 5 years visa to apply ?

Thanks.

If you don’t want to help you don’t have too .. but please don’t make stupid comments it shows how much ignorant and stupidity someone can have ..

Edit: Oy the visa agency just said if I get the non o I have to wait til it expires to apply for the ltr its a lot of money to an qgent to only get rhe 90 day because I will have enough passive income as of approximately mid September. Visa exempt plus 30 day extension would maybe get me there if they don’t take forever to do the ltr. Maybe 4-5 weeks. Same with the kids educational visas cause they would convert.

I’ve seen people post they’ve gotten their non o from Laos in like 3 days rather than weeks. I’m torn between paying 60,000 for an agent (don’t have time to get the visa before entering the country). If I can just go with my kids for a few days that would be much easier … especially as I will hopefully qualify for the ltr-wp in a few months (getting a big dividend) so it’s a lot of money for something I will hopefully not need for very long

I have a Bangkok bank account, today I wanted to try opening a Kasikorn bank account with my LTR-WP visa in Nonthaburi. Omg 😱😱 What an incompetent branch or person. She called their headquarters, she had no idea about LTR, she spoke simultaneously with two individuals on two phones in both hands. She passed the phone to me at times so I could answer their questions, well finally no account with LTR after wasting about 40 min ! They asked work permit or country ID .. US has no country ID, we have passport and driver's licence. I run to the next door which is SCB bank. This time she was much faster to let me know their bank don't open a bank account for LTR visa holders. I said LTR visa holders were selected through a stringent process and it is given to top earners, why would SCB refuse to do business with us. She run inside, then came out with a better idea, she copied all my docs and told me that they will notify me in 1 week about their decision. Really pissed I barged into next door which was Kurungsri Bank. They also called their headquarters then copied my docs and told me to wait a week to hear their response. All in all, today I failed opening a bank account three times with my LTR-WP visa. Thai banks are going through a huge confusion, trying to implement new rules but doing it in a total chaos.

I’ve been advised to get an E visa.

Anyone familiar with this lately?

Just got my LTR visa application rejected without any reason provided. Anyone successfully pivoted to DTV after LTR rejection?
