Trying to apply for online visa but everything I try gets stalled can’t proceed what I need to do or who I talk to

I've been reading about people getting rejected and thinking it's due to previous ED Visas.

I've had 2 ED Visas back to back like 7/8 years ago, then switched to Non-B with regular work permit until now.

Do you think this would be a "bad visa history" to try getting the DTV? (Never overstayed, 90 days reports always submitted on time, etc)

🙏🏼

Not sure how bad the situation really is but this may become an issue for Soft Power DTV to show proof of being able to sustain oneself for 5 years in Thailand. And yes I am aware that there is no income requirement specified for the Soft Power DTV....yet!

Hi I have a question my mom is in the states but she lost her birth certificate in a hurricane. Does anyone know who I can talk to about getting another one. She lost contact with her family in Thailand.

Hi all. 2 questions:

1) did anyone in here had their funds shown on a Thai account?

2) on Home address and current address did you put the same one?

I just got cancelled from Delhi, India, and they didn't say why.

I suspect either of the 2

Landed in BKK with my DTV. Used Fast Track because of the horrible experience I had on my last visit. No issues. Glad to be back.

Thank you so much for all the answer

So I just arrived in Cambodia

I think that I have 2 options :

Ask for a tourist e-visa from Siam reap , or

Going to Vietnam to also apply for or evisa tourist or DTV (quicker in Vietnam than Cambodia my friends said me)

I am just scared about : did the Thai embassy gonna give me the tourist e visa ? Or maybe not because they are a bit bored of people coming from Cambodia because of the issues that they had ….

Thanks you again for the help

The Thai immigration was horrible : I learn and speak Thai 100% / doing Muay Thai doing fight too .

And because their own administration allowed me last year to do several visa run : at Suvarnabhumi they was like « why you don’t do visa ? why you come Thailand like » but they maybe forget that « we do that because THAI people allowed us to do this and they also take advantage of this !! »

Finally , before taking my plane at 7.30 pm today to get out from Thailand to Cambodia : the « security guard » who was following me the all Thai said me « I you had given some money the boss let you go » … knowing after they was claming for hours for « need to have good visa » instead they was doing stamp to all the people was giving some money MTFK …. I didn’t even think to do that I was to upset ..

Anyway this is a short part of the story that I wanted to share thank for all the answer

To all DTV holders with a DTV issued by the Royal Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh: Has anyone had any difficulties at Thai immigration? Such as additional questions or scrutiny? Also, has anyone recently (let's say anytime this year) applied in Phnom Penh - and how was it?

Thailand refused my entry and is deporting me back to the country of my connecting fligh (my DTV is being processed, submitted 02/28 in Ankara). I flew IST to AMM to BKK..

They are forcing me to fly to AMM Jordan, despite US travel advisory.

To make matters worse. There is no flight for 5 days, so I may be held in immigration detention until then.

Dont know which is worse...

Please note, I did not post anonymously because I dont want the peanut gally to claim this is a fake story.

The multiple racist comments speaks volumes about those who are making them, as does the reaction of those who find the situation funny...

I am proposing to retire to Thailand this year and would like advice regarding visas.

I am in the process of arranging medical/ health insurance.

I have rented a house in Bangkok presently in my girlfriend's name but I am providing the rent. The rental agreement can be amended to include my name if necessary for my initial 90 day visa. This will be my address for my 90 day visa. ( see below)

I am planning to apply for a 90 day O visa to travel to Thailand around end of April 2026. Once there I will finalise long term health insurance and find an agent to assist me in obtaining a Long Term Multi Entry visa, including opening an appropriate aThai Bank account

I will not be working in Thailand as I am retiring although I may still take on the odd uk client legal matter remotely.

.

Can members please advise

1. whether the O visa is the correct visa to apply for in the first instance.

2. What is the best type of long term multi entry visa for a retiree with UK income from savings and pension.

Please only respond in relation to your successful personal journeys to retire to Thailand or from actual practical knowledge of current best steps.

Thanks in advance
