Hi all..Really appreciate any advice on the following - I am 60, retired, financially well Canadian. Applied for the O-non imgrant retirement visa from Canada and after submitting all of the docs and paid so much fees (incl 2 health insurance) didn't get too far. The Embasy asked for more docs based on their forms which I didn't see or know when I went though the on-line application. Now I am in Europe and plan to fly to Thailand Oct 1. I understand the visa 2 + 1 months, but wish to stay longer. What would be the best way to achieve this while within Thailand? I am keeping all of the health coverage, criminal checks, etc. Would love to here from westerners who are gone through this and got any long-term stay visas. Thanks all.

Hi,

I'm in Thailand with a 60-day visa right now. I have found that I am well suited to the requirements of DTV. Can I apply for a DTV visa in-country?

Could I please ask about the in (Thai) country Non 0, 90 day visa married to a Thai.

I had several dramas this time round so I had to border out and back in on a 30 day tourist. I am going to apply for the above 90 day visa, but wanted to ask;

* Do I need to take the wife for that, or only when I apply afterwards for the extension part?

The funds (40k monthly) was the issue here (again), (But). I decided to save the dramas and deposit the 400k baht. NOW IN...

*How does it work, season for two months prior to the extension? After you receive the extension you can spend down, but must top back up to the 400k baht the following extension?

Kind regards,

Hi, I am currently here on a non-visa 'exempt 30-day' entry. I will next apply for a non-O marriage visa, and I had read I can do this 'within the country' but am unable to find where this 'in-country form is.

Do I need to physically book an appointment with Cheangwatthana to just first go and collect a form for this application? - or, is it possible to apply online first with the documentation required?

Maybe I am mixing something up here!

Thanks.

Hello everyone.

I would like to please ask about applying for a Marriage-O Visa (90 days single entry)

If I am here on a 30-day visa exempt stamp, can I apply for it within Thailand itself to transition onto it without leaving, or do I need to exit, apply in a neighbouring country and re-enter on it after approval?

Thank you.

Sorry if this question has been asked, I'm blind and it's easier for me to ask.

Can I transfer from a 30 day visa exempt to a retirement visa without going out of Thailand?

I have all necessary documents and financial requirements, so I don't need an agent and my wife is to busy to call immigration :)

Hi Everyone,

Advice please!

I was unable to extend my O visa extension stamp based on being father of a Thai child in January as I was not able to be back in Thailand on their date of 7th February there was also a problem with my 400k Baht seasoning.

They told me to get the visa in Berlin where I am currently. I am unable to get the visa in Berlin due to me not being A German passport holder or having residency in Germany ( I am a UK passport holder )

I obtained an O visa in 2019 from Penang I contacted the consulate this week but have received no reply.

Is it possible at Jomtien immigration for me to fly somewhere get a tourist visa and convert it into a O visa extension stamp??

I’m flying back to Thailand in 2 weeks can you advise me on my options please

Many thanks

Alan

I'll be applying for the in-country non-Imm O visa based on marriage soon. However, we have not yet decided we are going to live long-term, so I'm not sure how this will impact the application.

We currently have a three-month rental in Jomtien. After that, our plan is to move up north, where my wife is from. We have not yet had a chance to look for houses up there, so don't know exactly where we'll be.

I know the initial application requires a rental agreement and pictures of us at the house/apartment. I have two questions:

1 - Will it be a problem that we only have a 3 month rental agreement?

2 - Will it be possible to get the initial 90 day visa while living in Jomtien, then complete the process for the one year stamp after moving to the north?

Thanks.

One warning, DO NOT hi-jack other threads :(

Is it possible to change from a tourist visa to a non b visa without leaving Thailand?

Can you apply for an extension of stay right after you get your non O dependency visa cancelled? If you get say a teaching job before you leave the country, can you get a work visa?
