ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

My apologies for getting the news wrong

Sorry for jumping the gun on the notice about Chaengwattana Building B being evacuated.

I just got confirmation from people out there that it's business as usual and people are waiting for their queue to be called for their immigration needs

They DID evacuate Building A though (but the immigration office is in Building B)

Awaiting paperwork from my home country which may take up to 3 weeks to process... But this freaking message is lingering! Haha.

**Incomplete applications over 14 days will be automatically removed from the system.

**How do I contact IO to get an extension on the 14 day crap?

Hello, I’m just updating some information of “DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO EXTEND STAYING FOR DESTINATION THAILAND VISA” from Koh Samui

Hello, I just want to share my experience with re-entering on the DTV visa in Phuket (remote work).

A few days ago I arrived back to Phuket after a short 2 day trip in Dubai. I presented my passport to the immigration officer and he said "oh DTV". He took my passport to his colleague and after a quick chat asked me to follow him to the immigration office. I was asked to provide all the documentation I used to apply for the DTV visa. Luckily I had it on my laptop.

The immigration officer asked all sorts of questions like: Did I apply for the DTV visa myself? Why did I apply in Hanoi if I am an Australia citizen and UAE resident? How much money do I have?

After about 1 hour of talking to multiple immigration officers and sending my documents via email to the imm. office at the airport, I was granted a 180-day stamp.

All the immigration officers were very nice and even explained why they decided to check all my documents. According to them, it turns out that a lot of fake papers were used to obtain DTV visas in Vietnam, Loas and Myanmar,... He said if I applied in Australia or Dubai then there would be no issues. The imm officer said they do a better job of checking papers in non SEA countries.

I have a remote work DTV visa (workaction) and am employed by a US registered company. Everything is fully transparent and documented.

However, I do want to use this opportunity to caution people against using DTV visa services, where agents will provide "all the papers you need" for a fee. I have seen many ads like this around FB and telegram groups.

One person next to me in the imm. office was issued a DTV visa with what they suspect to be fake papers and according to the immigration officer they will contact the embassy of that individual and notify them that the visa has been cancelled. I don't know what happened to that person after that, but it doesn't sound like you get a chance to just buy a ticket to KL and leave.

Please use common sense when deciding to apply for the DTV visa and treat it like you are applying for a visa in any other European or western country. If you applied for a DTV visa with a 2 week cooking course and are re-entering after 6 months, expect some questions. If you have used dodgy or even fake employment or course papers to apply for a DTV, then good luck to you.

Hope this info helps. Happy to answer any questions on my experience if I forget to mention something in the post.

Is it normal procedure for Thai immigration to keep a persons passport overnight or for several days when one applies for a student visa ? I have always been instructed to never part with my passport while traveling . This just doesn’t feel correct to me .

Hi ! Do you have any immigration office in the city center to recommend to do the 90 days report please? The only ones I found are in Chang Whatthana or Thonburi. Thanks

Good day, I would like to ask someone about my situation

On November 20th I visited Thailand for the first time in my life and got a stamp for 60 days, then I extended my stay for an additional 30 days and then flew to Vietnam on the last day (day no. 90)

Then I booked a flight from Vietnam to Bangkok which took place on February 23rd and there were some minor problems at the border, they started asking me about my financial means, travel plan etc. but finally after 2 hours they finally let me into Thailand with a stamp for 60 days (until April 23rd)

My question is: can I go to the immigration office on April 18th to extend my stay until May 23rd?

I heard from someone that in period of 6 months I can be maximum 90 days on this free visa

Have to extend or do a border run soon, but would rather do an extension so my questions are to those who extended recently:

* Which office did you go to?

* What are all the documents needed?

The 1900 baht is a lot cheaper than the cost of doing a border run/flying in and out. I don't want to waste a day going to the immigration office and miss a piece of paperwork. I'm sure this is asked a lot but haven't found a concrete answer yet about extending, many people just suggesting a border run. Thank you.

If I have a retirement visa from one province and move to another, can i extend that visa in the 2nd province? What are the requirements?
