Hi, I applied for my 90-day report online, but it was rejected one day before the due date. I then went to immigration, and they told me to transfer my visa from my old passport to my new one first (since I had recently renewed my passport). It took me two days to complete all the required documents because I also needed a letter from my embassy. Yesterday, I finally went to transfer my visa, and I asked the 90-day counter to give me a token — even if it was the last one — so I could complete my 90-day report after the visa transfer. However, they told me to finish the transfer process first. I completed it around 5:30 p.m. Now my question is: will I be fined since it’s already been five days past the 90-day reporting deadline?

Hey guys. I want to open a Thai bank account. Can anyone give me advice on what bank to choose. And I also seen something in here about them shutting down accounts is that true if so how do I avoid that happening ? Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

Just read this and thought useful for some who deal with Bangkok Bank

Bangkok bank told us that since 1 July, they require you to have the money in your account for 4 months (!!), before they can issue a letter that confirms proof of funds for various visas. And if you do not meet this 4 month requirement, they will lock the funds in your account for an additional 4 months, before you can access it; while giving you the right papers that you need for immigration (proof of funds for 2 months). Its not an immigration or visa requirement, but rather a banking requirement to deter money laundering and people using agents (that is what they told us)

Hello guys, I'm working online for last 5 months. Making well over $2.5k/month, but i don't have 500k baht in my account... Do i keep grinding until i reach 500k baht or what? I really need some advice

Hi all

If you are on a 90-day Non-Immigrant Visa and have been in Thailand for 2 months with the 800,000 in the bank and you have just applied for the Non-Immigrant O-A (retirement Visa),

Can you leave Thailand whilst waiting?

Do you have to be back in Thailand to receive the Visa?

What happens if you are still out of the country when the visa comes through?

Thanks

Hi everyone!

I’m a software engineer working as a freelance and I am planning to apply for the DTV workcation visa.

I have 6 months of statements for my freelance account and proof of savings accounts overs 160k CAD (110k USD).

Is that sufficient for the visa application (to prove freelance activity AND financial situation) or is there anything else to improve my luck in the selection process ?

Good afternoon

I arrived in Thailand on 14th Jan and my visa expires on 14th March. To extend this my Thai partner and I travelled to Laos today with intentions of returning to Thailand on 13th March. I have been told by the Thai office at Nong Khai that I will not be allowed back in via Nong Khai and must fly to Bangkok to get entry back into Thailand. As I stay near Phang Khon in Sakon Nakhon I will then have to fly back to Udon Thani for my partner to collect me with vehicle we have left at Nong Khai as we have done on last 2 visits to Laos. Any advise would be more than welcome, sorry if it is a bit long winded, many thanks, Chris

Entry into Don Mueang back from a week in Vietnam. I/O never even looked up from her desk, but did ask for the DTV Visa.

Anybody applied in Laos with new eVisa system? It says 10-15 working days, I was wondering how many days it takes in practice?
