Hello, my dtv visa needs an extension before may. Did anyone already extend their dtv already? And did you bounce borders or go immigration? Is any paperwork required ?

Entry into Don Mueang back from a week in Vietnam. I/O never even looked up from her desk, but did ask for the DTV Visa.

Hello group! I just got approved for DTV in Hanoi and heading back to Thailand on Friday. I’ve printed my DTV and my question is:

When going through immigration and they stamp my passport, what “end” date should I be looking for on their stamp? (180 days?) I want to be sure the immigration officer stamps it correctly.

Also is there anything else I should verify with passport/visa/paperwork to ensure immigration does their part right?

Hello all,

I have recently got DTV visa and will be living at Koh Samui island. I do have an international driving licence for bikes. As my research, for owning a green book I need to have a residential document. But for that, I have to stay at least 3 months. Is it possible for me to purchase a bike and then do the paper work after I got the residential document ? Thank you.

Hello, I am looking for cooking school for DTV. Appreciate if you have any recommendations. I have seen some of the schools review that it was a trouble to go through the immigration with the visa they get from those places. If you have tried with cooking school, please share your experience with entering the country for the first time. Thank you 🙏🏻

I could not get any information by phone because the number I called for Samut Prakan Immigration office was set in automatic menu loop until it eventually hangs up. so I went there today to get it. My 1 year extension expires at end of April and I have to back to the US at end of March to take care of a few things. I knew that most offered the extension at 30 days before expiration. And few at 45 days before. FYI , Samut Prakan immigration allows extensions 45 days before expiration. Just wanted that info out there for anyone to use it.

Today I crossed the border to Thailand, first time after got my DTV.

I presented a paper copy of my Visa Approval, but they did not even look at it, everyting was in the computer, can stay till August

Hello all,

Now that Thailand is making it hard to get a bank account for retirement purposes, how does one go about getting a retirement visa? It is my understanding that I will at least need to show I have an active account for at least 3 months before applying for a retirement visa USA or marriage visa.

Currently I come in and out of country every 2-3 months because I still work in Japan. I am also hearing I will not be able to do this anymore.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Hello.

Is it possible to convert Ed visa extension (Thai language study) to Non-B visa?

and Non-B Visa extension to marriage visa inside Thailand in Chiang Mai?

Is it possible to change from a Non-O Visa (based on marriage) with a 1-year extension of stay to a half Thai child dependent visa? My wife can continue working while I process my visa, which is easier as she works away sometimes. tia 🙏

PS: I'm about to renew my 1-year extension of stay - due 13th May. (SriRacha Immigration Office)
