Many people have commented in this group how owners refuse fail to file a TM30. I am happy to see something being done about this

Hello everyone:)

So I have a tourist stamp/visa etc. Previously I made here my temporary DL, now i am back and i try to exchange/extend it to the 5y. I know some places are not giving the 5y, some other they do. I collected all the docus(health and immigration certificate). I would like to know if any of you know the current situation in Ko Samui,Krabi,Phuket. I tried in Surat Thani Town, but they bounced me back with the 2 years etcetc. Thank you

Im reading a lot about immigration clamping down on long stays.

Im a Uk passport holder and have been out of Thailand for four plus months now.

I have already had one 60 day visa exempt and 30 day extension totalling 90 days last time I came earlier in the year.

I also did the same and the end of last year so that took me upto mid January this year.

My logic is I’ve been out for nearly five months I should be fine but I’m concerned about being turned away.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

I’m getting really confused by the ED VISA I’ve been emailing a few schools for information etc .. and I was aware of that every 90days you have to go to immigration and extend your Ed visa to keep studying .

But one school wrote back to me and said that you have to leave Thailand after 6 months and apply again !!! This is the first time I’ve heard them say this …

I'm kinda confused about the 90 day reporting requirement. If I never stay in the country more than 90 days, does that mean I don't need to do it? What if I signed a lease for an apartment?

Without naming any particular agent or quoting exact prices, it's obvious that using an agent's help to get a one year extension based on marriage is far more expensive than retirement extension, even if you use your own money and you do all the running around getting all the required paperwork together. Why?

Please, save yourselves a few seconds of your valuable time and don't type "do it yourself" it's just a question that I've wondered about for a while.

Today we went to Saraburi Immigration Office to apply for my 1 year extension of stay on a Non-Immigrant O " Retirement" Visa as being over 50 years old in the bottom.

Their handouts about the requirements I asked about before did not quite add up to the ones we got when we came there.

Believe me we were prepared, my income letter from Swedish Embassy was worthless proving more income/pension than 65 000 baht per month , officer told me to instead open a bank account and start transfer 65k every month to get my extension.

Officer asked us to come back on 14th November and to get an update on my account and bank book and also to bring a certificate from the bank the day before.

The officer also asked about copies of my girlfriends rental agreement, we was prepared for that, but they also put like a postal stamp on it and told us to get copies of it, which our Immigration office do not offer so need go to fix nearby.

We brought everything from the landlord that was requested on the handouts in the first place, with copies.

Well it's only to do what the officer say so we head down to Kasikorn Bank to open an account.

Was no problem, they needed my passport, a letter from Immigration that I need a bank account (not an ordinary residence certificate document) for my extension and that I have a Thai phone number (sim card) connected to my passport, which we did before go to the bank, plus documents from girlfriends landlord that they owe the building we rent our apartment in.

OBS, this is only Saraburi offices rules of today.

Sorry for a long one.

1. If I sign up for boxing in Chiang Mai for DTV 6 months lessons, do I have to stay in Chiang Mai or can I move around Thailand a bit for exploring? Also do I need to have a new contract for language or boxing every 6 months to renew at 180 days?

Is it possible to stay 5 years using only 6 months muay thai class? dtv visa expires 5 years. I have to go immigration to extend staying every 180 days. but, If I go other country every 180days, I think I don't need to take more class and to go to immigration. Is it possible?

Hello, could I enter Thailand when my DTV still in process?
