First time doing the 90 day check in (or whatever it's called) with the DTV. How do I do it in Bangkok?

I'm in Nakhon Sawan and today went to immigration to check on requirements for the 90 day registration. I have read alot about requirements so a month early I wanted to check what they would ask for being a new process.

So I'm with my thai partner and they explained in thai and repeated in English that so long as my TM30 was registered (which it is) I need not do anything else.

Advised that after 180 days to either leave the country or extent, which I knew.

To extend she advised I would need to present the same proof of funds I obtained the visa with being the 50,000tb (or equivalent to what was requested upon application) mine being £11,000

All in all very simple and pleasing.

Hope this helps.

Sure other provinces are different in some way.

Enjoy

Does anyone know about the ‘Safe Entry’ visa system? It’s where you pay a visa agency to ensure that when you enter Thailand by air, you’re guaranteed a visa on arrival or visa exemption.

The agency claims it’s a legitimate process – you still go through immigration as normal, but they say you’d be directed to a different, fast-track counter.

Is this a scam, or is it a legitimate service? Has anyone had experience with it?

Hi everyone,

I spent a few years in Thailand and Vietnam and am booked to return to Thailand in January.

I'm a UK passport holder and I only plan to spend a few weeks in Thailand. I have onwards travel booked and a hotel booked for the first few days (to recover from the journey) 😊

I can't remember how the visa system works as it has been a few years since I entered last, but I'm pretty sure I just go for the visa exemption?

Is this correct please?...and if so, what is the process for this? Is there a form to be filled out before I go, or do they do it once you arrive there?

Also, is there anything else I need before I fly?

Sorry for all the questions, and many thanks in advance for any help given!

I’m Australian, my wife is Swedish and we are heading to Sweden this week. Does anyone know for sure if I as Australian can apply for the DTV in Sweden.

Edit: I am not a Swedish resident

ADVICE PLEASE: For a 90 day Non-O Visa-holder who’s now in Thailand and on the 90 day clock, there’s so many disparate puzzle pieces to accrue bf applying for “1 Year Extension of Visa.” For example: There’s setting up a Bank account & Transferring 800k Tbt, Getting local Phone service, finding a permanent address with lease and TM30…. PLEASE SHARE from your experience what is the most logical order to tackle the tasks above, AND don’t hesitate to list the many I haven’t even thought of in this moment. Thank god this FB Group exists. It is a gift to newcomers!

Can you apply online 6 days before your 90 day report due date

I’m trying to apply to the HCMC online application website. Problem is there is a limit of 3 megabytes only per upload of any file and my files are much bigger than that. Anyone else had this issue and found a way to overcome it? Thanks 🙏

I’m considering a retirement visa. Currently in Thailand on a 60 day stamp until Jan 18. I don’t really want to stay in Thailand more than 180 days a year and likely would want to enter and leave 3 - 4 times a year, but also usually leave and return during those stays for a holiday outside of Thailand with my gf. So far I’ve just been getting passport stamps. They have started to ask more questions and hesitate sometimes on the past few entries. I do have $800k in Bangkok Bank for several years. I’m staying with gf now in Tha Bunmi area of Chonburi. We got a TM - 30 filed recently. Unfortunately the address was entered 90 rather than 99 when they registered the place i’m staying. Staying with gf in a room she gets as manager of a factory. Asked them to try and fix the registration address. Flight out of Thailand Feb 17, so would file for a 30 day extension, or should I try to get a Non O retirement visa early next week at Jomtien? Maybe I won’t really be here long enough to get an actual 1 year retirement visa? Apply for a Non 0 the next time I come to thailand? I get more confused the more i read
