My wife, a Filipina, intends to apply for a Non O Visa early next year in Manila to enable her to stay in Thailand as a dependent on my retirement Visa.

The question is when does the clock start ticking; is it the day she gets the stamp in Manila or from the time she enters Thailand? The problem is she will be going to Australia direct from Manila for 2 months.

If it is from the date it is stamped in Manila she will only have one months validity once she gets to Thailand. Is that a problem; does it matter?

Just as a matter of interest we made inquiries with the embassies in Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia none of whom were able to process a Non O Visa (obtaining this information by the way was not easy. It took a lot of effort and many emails to find out the answer was NO. We even tried Australia and received two nonsensical answers before they stopped replying at all).

As an aside to this I am curious as to why it has to be applied for outside of Thailand anyway.

Thank you in anticipation.

Any advice on the easiest dtv visa to obtain..both over 50 early retired..hubby went to 2 agents here in CNX but not too clear..sending us to Cambodia saying they have contacts there within 10 days we get the dtv...scared to say we hit a brick wall having done 2 border runs this year so we got pulled over..although given 60 days upon entry we were told to get proper visa..

I have a Non O immigration extension (1 year) that expires Jan 21. I was thinking of just getting the DTV as I may not be able to renew the O visa as I did not have the 800k in my bank account for the first few months and hear you need to show 12 months of statements.

Can I apply for the DTV in the USA while still on my current O?

Anyone do this?

I may arrive back to Thailand before but maybe after Jan 21...

I'm on a Non O visa (Thai spouse). It expires mid January 2025 and I have to leave Thailand early February for about 6 weeks which is during the under consideration period of the visa renewal.

I'm sure I'm not the first in this predicament and a search has indicated that I just take my problem to the immigration dept when I apply for the renewal. Is this correct?

Can I apply early December and bring the whole process forward?

Thanks

Is it easier to apply for Non O visa in the USA or wait and do it in Thailand ?

Hi all

Has anybody an updated/recent requirements list for a NON O extension of stay based on Thai children?

Trying to avoid at least one trip to immigration (Phuket)

I have been issued a non O-A (retirement) visa from Canada - once the documentation was submitted it took only 1 working day to get approved!

My wife (also Canadian) and I will arrive into Krabi early November.

As this is my first time arriving with this type of visa, what will I need to present to the immigration officer at the airport - I want to be sure to have everything close at hand. I assume the printed O-A visa, valid passport, Health Insurance certificate?....anything else?

Also, my wife does not qualify for her own O-A visa, so she will apply for a non O in Thailand as a trailing spouse/depentant - is the marrage certificate all thats required for the non O for her?

Thank you for your help.

Currently resident of Philippines. Planning to go to Manila Thailand Embassy for retirement visa - 73 yo, retired. Any recommendations for long term resident visa? We have health insurance from Cigna
