Hi All.

Unfortunately, my tax bill for 2024 was huge. I have applied for and was approved for my LTRV in the hope that I won't have to pay taxes next year. If I'm here on a non 'O' and get my LTRV within 180 days will I still be eligible for taxes for 2025. LTRV also asked me to cancel my non 'O' in order to have LTRV stamped in my passport but immigration in Surin refused saying you can only change your visa on expiry of old one. Which isn't until 25th June. At a bit of a loss. Can bkk immigration cancel my non 'O' before they stamp my LTRV. and please no wise cracks about avoiding taxes or my income please.

Hello Everyone,

Allow me to apologize if this question was previously addressed (I could not find it). Basically, with a DTV, is it possible to open a bank account?

Thanks

Experince yesterday at BKK. I was previously on a Non-O Retirement with extensions. I was married to a Thai wife now divorced. Two children in Surin. I left Thailand for two years for work and returned Visa exempt 4 December 2024 for 60 days to see my children. Ex wife (Thai) stays in Australia to work. I had difficulty with child access and border bounced Cambodia to get extra time to get access. I left within the second 60 days for Australia for a few weeks. Organising a court case in Thailand for custody. I was held by immigration even after explaining that i am seeking a Non -O on basis of Thai children but need custody. They also had my history and told me where I lived. The IO called supervisor and berated me for the border bounce. I was told next time no Visa, no entry. Seems the reports of multiple 60 day are real. I have never been questioned on previous Visa exempt entries.

Does it matter if I have a lot of Thai stamps under visa exempt as well as extensions and same day border runs? Will they reject my DTV for this?

So I have a retirement visa and recently left the country. I asked agent about reentry form upon my exit and she said I do not need one. When I returned I could only get 60 day tourist visa. Does this mean I need a new retirement visa? Do I have any options?

Hello all,

I was wondering about 90 days report.

Here are my situtaion, I was reporting through website as usually but didn’t get any answer about the result after 14 days. So I decided to go to immigration but unfortunately earthquake happened. Today has passed the due date of 90 days report but I saw the news that Cheangwattana Building is having an accident occured again today. In this case, the immigration will cause a fine for 90 days report late or not ?

Hope every one stay safe !

Did my first re-entry with DTV (workaction). I've spent 6 months in Thailand. Left for Vietnam for a week.

No questions asked by the IO. Smiled and stamped me for another 6 months.

Don't listen to the fear mongers, the ones that want to sell you border run services or just salty expats who paid for Elite or are just bitter.

Follow the laws, if your DTV application is genuine you won't have any issues.

Visa application cancelled. Applied in Jakarta. Email says wrong type of travel document chosen. Not sure what that means, I chose "Ordinary Passport". What a waste of money haha 🥲
