Hello everyone !

I got my new passport today and I know (thanks to you guys) that I have to go to Chaengwattana with the letter provided by the Embassy to have my stamps "transferred" to the new passport.

Few questions :

* shall I go there as usual early in the morning to do this?

* shall I ask for one specific counter or will it be the counter which deals with my type of VISA ? (non-immigrant F)

* a part from the two passports and the letter from my Embassy, shall I bring some other documents? (to be sure, I will bring for sure photocopies of first pages and last stamps and photocopies of the new passport first page).

Thank you so much for your help and support and have a good day !

I am here on a non-immigrant F-visa and have a potential employer wanting to change it to a B-visa to get a work permit (and would have to leave the country which is tricky at the moment). Has anyone been in a similar situation and succeeded in organizing a WP without changing the visa type?

Hello to everyone and thank you for accepting me in the group.

I have a few - maybe naive - questions, as we are soon going to renew our visas (we are a family of three, on non-immigrant F and non-immigrant O visas):

* Do you know if legalized documents with translation into Thai language have unlimited validity? (mine were done at the end of last year, and the originals have, by law, unlimited validity)

* Do you find any utility in going to Cheang Wattana before actually applying for VISA extension, only for having the documents checked by an officer, maybe at the information desk? (I have a young daughter and I would rather go alone first if this might prove useful).

* Can you tell me if I can download online the basic visa application form, the one where you have to put your pictures on it, so that I can prepare them before actually going to immigration?

Thank you very much for your wise comments! Have a good day!

Hi all,

I'm married to a Brit who works for the British Embassy, so I qualify for a spouse visa. I have received the necessary letter from the MFA, but I can't find any clear info on exactly what else I need. No reply to emails from the Thai Embassy in KL (where I'll be getting it from), but managed to speak to someone who said "Yes, we issue that visa" and then put the phone down before I could ask for more info.

Anybody know what else I'll need ? Thanks in advance.
