I’ve just been searching advice at an agent here in Thailand. She told me there is no need to add/apply kids under 14 yo on/for DTV (as dependents) Any thoughts on that ..?

Hi, :) i forgot to do my 90 day report at the immigration, and it's been almost 6 months i've been in thailand. I will soon do the visa run. Should i still get the 90 day report done before i do the visa run, is it a big deal?

I am a US citizen, flying in from Europe. I want to stay in Thailand for 6-8 weeks starting month.

I know the visas keep changing.

Do US passport holders still get 60 days on entry or 30? How is it working these days? If it is 30 days how can I extend?

I was in Thailand from September 2024 to middle of January 2025. I’m not sure if that will be a problem. And i was there during covid.

Seeing if there is anything I should know before coming back next month (September)

I had an non immigrant ED visa in January 2023, which mentions the day the stamp was added and two smaller rectangular stamps, one underneath, and one on the next page mentioning the day I received it and the expiration date (3 months later). There is also a red stamp saying USED above the visa.

I left Thailand 3 weeks after receiving it and returned 8 more times since on visa exemptions. Now I want to apply for another ED visa, but I was told that I have to first cancel the ED visa that I received almost 3 years ago. Is this correct?

Just posting what happened with us for reference. Arrived end of April (US passport) for first time ever in Thailand planning to stay 90 days. After 60 days, we elected not to file an extension as we wanted to spend a week in Cambodia before returning for a month. We left on time, had a blast in Cambodia.

When we arrived back tonight (BKK) we caught the lecture about this being the last time we would be allowed in for a year. He said the rules had changed and he could only give us 45 days. He said from now on foreigners can only stay a total of 90 days per year. Fine with us we are leaving before then. After a 15 minute back and forth we were allowed to enter. I checked as I exited airport; he stamped 60 days.

Yea, yea, I know that’s not the “rules” or whatever. Just letting people on the every 3 month visa run know they are indeed cracking down if I can catch a lecture for my 2nd entrance ever.

Hi All

We are retiring to Thailand beginning of 2026. My initial plan was just fly to thailand with my wife whom holds Thai citizenship and then i was going to apply once we were in the the country sounded like it was easier but now with banking accounts being more difficult to open i am on the thought of applying before we leave the states but with this i have minor police record from 30+ years ago. Nothing felony or serious has anyone ran into issues when applying at a Thai Embassy in their own country with very old issues.

I've asked this on the Wise thailand group and a few people recommend I as here so...

I was on an Elite visa for the past 5 years. It's just expired and I want to switch to a Retirement visa.

I have a UK passport, I'm over 50 and receive a monthly pension over the 65,000bht requirement, so it should be easy... Not

The local immigration and local agents all insist I need a proof of income certificate from my embassy... They know the British Embassy do not provide this...

Local immigration will not accept pension payslips and bank statements as proof of income... (Funny that the tax man does)

Any UK retirees that use pension income as grounds for retirement visa and extensions, without the embassy certificate and withou using an agent, how and where?

Im finding it very f*&#@n annoying, that I fulfill the legal requirements, but Im being forced to obtain the visa through an agent
