Hi everyone I’m new to this group I’m looking to move abroad, I work social media full time!, what’s the best agency to apply for my visa or any tips on where to start I’m getting research fatigue and a bit overwhelmed with all the information!

Just a heads up for people with children who are applying for an extension...my husband and I just got our extensions yesterday but we brought our baby with us. The officials tell you that you do in fact need to extend for everyone, including babies. I'm assuming from what I've read on here, that it is technically required, although many people just don't do it because there is no fine up until about 14 years old. We didn't do it for our baby but may go back and do it, if it will cause problems down the line. Is it truly OK not to get baby an extension and then come back next year? If anyone is attempting this, I suggest not bringing the baby or child with you.

Hey there! I’m applying now. Is it okay if I created my business three weeks ago?

(so I don’t have proof of paying income taxes)

Has anyone had a similar experience?

As an ED visa holder, can I get a work permit if I get a work contact. Thank you🙏

Hello has anyone from the uk applied for the evisa online. I’m married to a Thai and the section of visa type I’ve clicked non immigrant visa but then purpose of visit don’t state marriage

I'm a bit stuck with wonder if anyone can help with some advice.

My plan is to purchase property with my wife, so I need a bank account. She will purchase in her name, and offer a lease with a loan to give me some security. I'm chatting with Pattaya agencies to assist with getting a bank account. I've been told I can't get a bank account on a visa exemption because I'm under 50. So - I need a visa first, yet visas often seem to need a bank account!

My circumstances:

-British Citizen, under 50.

-Married to my Thai wife 13 years, dual nationality.

-We live in the UK

-She changed her name to English name on both passports + Thai ID

-But- we don't have a marriage certificate in Thailand

-Child born in England, dual nationality with full passport+Thai ID

-Only on visa exemption

Problem is - I don't think any of the visa categories work.

-Marriage visa - requires money in a Thai bank account, and a house book entry

-Retirement visa - not old enough

-None of the work visas make sense, I'm not working.

Since I'm a Tunisian citizen my passport doesn't allow me to stay in Thailand for more than 15 days and I have to apply for a Visa in the immigration when I arrived to Thailand.

Is the ED Visa can allow me to come before I start my class? Cuz I'm applying for Visa Online

😊

Can your kids stay based on your retirement visa? Actually, it'll be the 3 month pre-retirement non-immi visa for now. I'm aware they cannot overstay in principle but would prefer to avoid that. A 5-year old.

I have been on an OX retirement visa for over a year, and just went to immigration to do my 90 day report as usual. But this time I was told that I don't have to do this every 90 days on the OX visa, I only have to do it once a year. Has this changed recently?

So he gave me a Receipt of Notification saying that the next notification is due on 7 October 2025, which is one year after my previous 90 day report. That's a little odd, he seems to have tried to correct the previous report by backdating it, but you would think it should be either one year from my entry or one year from now. Whatever his logic was, that's the date on my receipt now.

I will be leaving the country and coming back in April, and he explicitly said I only have to report again a year after my re-entry.

I just tried to find information on the web about whether things have changed, and read there is some requirement to do a "qualification check" every year, which I've never heard of before, and haven't done since I first entered on my visa 20 months ago. It doesn't really make sense as every time I enter I get stamped in for 5 more years. Is this qualification check something new too? What conditions need to be met to qualify, and what happens if I don't qualify? Do they cancel the visa even though I still have a valid entry stamp?

I suspect the immigration officer misinterpreted something and I do still need to do the 90 day report every 90 days. It seems the OX visa is uncommon and many immigration officers are unsure what the rules are. For example, I've never once received the correct date on my entry stamp, which should always be 5 years from the date of entry.

My attempt to google for answers has only raised more questions. It suspect there is no need for any qualification check, otherwise they would have demanded it when I went to do my last couple of 90 day reports.

Could someone please explain what the rules are? Should I go to immigration 90 days after I re-enter Thailand? Or can I wait at least until October 7 which is printed on my current Receipt of Notification, even though that is for my current entry?

Thanks for your help.

Does Immigration ask for return ticket if arrive on Ed Visa?

Thanks
