Just looking for a piece of advice . I made a slight cock up of my departure from BKK next March. I have a Non O visa (marriage) and with an extension I will be 1 day over on departure.

In all the decades I have visited here I have never overstayed.

I will be going for my extension next month. Is it possible that Immigration could allow me that extra day?

Preparing documents for a Non-OA visa from California and the most frustrated part is the FBI/State criminal record clearance letter. Went to get fingerprinted and the letter received was just a print out and now we have to figure out how to get a certified letter from the state (CA) or FBI. Any advice?

2 visas approved in Hanoi one hour ago. Shocked! 6 days total.

Helli guys,

I am leaving Thailand after 59 days of being here on 2.1.2026 (visa exception- EU). Im going to Vietnam to travel there and planing to travel back to Thailand in 2-3 weeks for 1-2 months.

My last entrence to Thailand before the actual one was in 2024.

Will i be let in back for 1-2 months in this situation?

Where can i get a clear answer?

Of course ill have 20k and onward ticket.

Passport stamped Jan 15. If I fly out on 15th is it an overstay

Hi advice needed I am waiting for my money to season for my retirement extension my g/f has asked my to go to Laos with her and her friend if I go would this affect my application thanks.

I am planing to get a 90 day non o visa in Australia ,come to Thailand open a bank account,put 800000 baht in account and apply for 12 month extenion based on retirement. I have been coming to thailand regulary over last 2 years on tourist visas for 55 days at a time 2025 3 x .With crackdown on people staying over 150 days i thought its time to get a long term visa

My problem is I dont want to spend 90 days in Thailand to setup the non o visa as getting doctument together to open bank account together then transfering money

Waiting 2 months after money arrives to get extension if I hit some snag along the way will take almost the full 90 days

Any suggestion how i could achive a 12 month extension in less time

Ideally i would like to arrive get a lease on on an apartment open a bank account transfer money return to Australia for a month then return on a new 90 non O and

Extened for 12 months as my 800,000 would had been in bank for 2 months.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on Thailand visa options in a difficult personal situation.

I’m currently in Thailand on a spouse-based visa, but due to a serious relationship breakdown (infidelity and separation), my wife has asked for space and limited communication.

I cannot remain legally dependent on another person, so I need to transition to an independent visa as soon as possible.

I have time until 31 July 2026, sufficient funds, and I work remotely / run my own business.

Could anyone advise on:

• Viable visa options in this situation

• Whether conversion is possible without leaving Thailand

• Recommended visa agents or lawyers

I’m not looking for relationship advice — only legal/immigration guidance.

Thank you in advance

How long do we need to be away (third country, not “home”) between 60-day exemptions?

I am a solo mom with two kids, all American passports on a 60 day exemption, which is up on the 26th of Dec. I intend to get a DTV as a digital nomad, but wanted to see how it is before going through the whole process, as this is our first time in Thailand.

My rough plan is to be in Taipei for Feb/ March, and apply for Thai DTV from there. In the meanwhile, we’ll be going to Malaysia over winter break and planning to return Jan 1. We won’t be there long enough to wait for the DTV to go through, so we’d be returning for another exemption. Is 8 days long enough they would be okay with another exemption? Or would they be okay with it because it would be only our second entry?

Alternately we could stay in Thailand over break and apply for an extension but I don’t know how likely it could be refused, or if the 30 days starts the day we apply, or if it gets added to our original date.

We're a family of four, two kids aged one and five. We want an extended period here in Thailand before our oldest starts school in August 2026. Initially our holiday was 59 days with flight booked home. We'll have been here sixty days when we fly to Vietnam instead, where our plan is to apply for a six month multiple entry visa. We're more than happy to do some travel in other nearby countries during this six months to meet requirements. This should get us to July after which we plan to go home and not return to Thailand for several years.

Is this line of thinking reasonable and legal?
