If you had the required amount of baht in your Thai bank account but you opened it on a tourist visa, & your account has been frozen. Could you still apply for a retirement visa 🤔. The proof of funds will be there for immigration to see. TIA
Confused question. I received non o visa based on marriage from immigration. I entered Thailand and recived 90 days and i go immigration and make this multiple entry. I only come every 2 month for max 14 days so the 90 it's ok for me what I don't understand, this e-visa I received is for 3 month, the non o stamp on my passport is for 3 month also. What I'm missing? How I can have non o that ok for 1 years but just for 90 days every entry. (And no, I don't want the tourist visa)
I went through the search function of this group and found posts saying opposite things, so here I am with my situation:
My New passport is completely empty. I got it a few weeks ago.
The last entry on my old passport is a 60 days visa exempt entry, of which I've extended by 30 days, and then by 60 days (visiting Thai wife).
My 60 days will expired on October 5. The immigration office in which I did the 60 days extension is far from where I am, so I'm not going back there to transfer extension (I don't think i need to anyways?).
My plan was to leave via Nong Khai border by showing both passports. So they will void/stamp the old passport, and then on the Laos side I'll do the visa on arrival in new passport. *I will come back by air using safe entry*.
But then, searching the group, I found posts saying conflicting things. My understanding is that since my last entry is visa exempt, I can just do what I said above. But if I was on a longer term visa, I would have to leave by air so that they transfer from old to new passport (something they can't do at border).
I have been in Thailand since 13 th of July . First I got a stay of 60 days visa free exemption and I extended it for another month and on 10 of October I have to leave Thailand. Now I am planning to visit Hanoi for one week starting on October 4th flying from Bangkok. Will I get another 60 days when I come back to Thailand?
I am asking this because some people say it is not possible because the sum of your stays in Thailand cannot be more than 90 days within 6 months?
I would be happy if someone can give me some precise information from first hand who has experienced this.
TM30 updating after leaving/returning to Thailand - my understanding is that it is no longer necessary to have TM30 updated (living in Chiang Mai on a tourist visa) after each short trip out of the country. Could a well-informed person please let me know if this remains the case? (I've searched the group but not found this issue addressed.)
I applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on September 18th. On September 19th, I received a request for additional documents. I had only submitted three pay slips. They asked for pay slips for the last six months and to highlight the corresponding payments on the bank statement for the last few months. I prepared everything and submitted it on September 19th.
On September 25th, the status changed from "Pending document analysis" to "Pending approval."
But due to a problem and confusion over the dates, I applied for a Vietnam visa until September 25th instead of October 15th. So, I had to urgently return to Thailand on September 25th.
I returned to Thailand with a 60-day tourist visa exemption. And on September 29th, I received a refusal, without giving any reason.
I submitted all the necessary documents: six months' salary, a bank statement for the last six months with a balance over 500,000 baht, and certified by the bank. A letter from my employer explaining and mentioning my agreement to work remotely, also stating that we do not work for Thai clients, as well as a sample of the last job I did. The insurance certificate valid for Thailand, and the form. TM30.
I don't see what happened. Could it be because I returned to Thailand before the process was complete?
Do I need to have a ticket for leaving Vietnam when applying, or is it enough to have only a ticket for entering the Vietnam ? Will I be allowed to enter with just an entry ticket?
