Nong Khai border cross today and no questions asked very smooth for DTV workcation first entry

Hi would anyone know if its possible to convert from DTV to retirement visa.

Anyone who has recently gotten approved through the NYC consulate- what is your turnaround time?

I have ed-visa valid for 3month which can be extended.

1)How many days( the earliest date) before the end of visa can I show up in immigration for extension of visa for another 3 months?

2) What is the latest day I can show up there?

3) How fast is the process? Few minutes? Hours? Days?

When I go to the bank for six months of transactions, I have to get another one from the bank is it a guarantee the money is still in the account, or is it something else to get?????

What is the situation if you have a 12 month 'non o' visa (retirement), have left Thailand on exit/re-entry and you are back in the UK and your passport expiry date is during the time back in the UK - are visas and exit/ reentry stamps transferred to a new passport? Are you able go keep old passport with visa and stamps in? I am unsufe of the process, any advice/experiences? ✍

So I read in a few different places that if you have questions about applying because you have a specific situation that's not the norm, that you should contact the embassy where you plan to apply, so that you can be sure you have everything in order according to that embassy's requirements. Well, my plan is to go to Cambodia to apply. And so I emailed the embassy last week on Sunday. I was expecting they may read it on Monday and reply like on Monday or Tuesday. But it's already Sunday again ( a whole week passed) and still no answer from them. Anyone experience email communication with embassy's like this in which it's just a couple of questions needing answering so I can continue my application prep? What's normal as far as waiting on an email reply?

Approved in 3.5 business days from Jakarta.

Wasn't asked for any additional docs.

I had done a 12 month education visa in Thailand in 2023, so I thought they might ask to see my passport pages. They never asked in the end.

I found an awesome site for pdfs. Much faster than some other more popular sites

Good luck to everyone 🍀

Can we do a walk in for extending the three months visa to a non immigrant visa if all paperwork is in order?

First border run

The immigration girl asked what's my job on DTV? Then Stamped and goodbye.
