I have a 6 month multi entry visa which expires in July. The last stamp when I came in expires next week. To extend that stamp do I have to go out and back in again, or can I go to an immigration office and pay for? Not sure if I get 30 or 60 days as I believe it is changing?

If come in visa exempt after how many days can you do the 30 day extension?

I only need an extra 5 days and depending on travel route would be easier to do when in town with immigration office.

I need to make a decision in the next week or so whether to fly back to the UK or get a 30 day extension to my visa exemption (I did not have a cancelled flight).

How many days before my visa exemption expires do I need to go to Immigration? (I'm staying in Bangkok, so Lak Si, I believe) The Iran War & my health are making it a tricky decision which I'd like to leave as late as possible. Thanks.

Hello everyone, ☀️

I'm in Bangkok on a DTV visa.

I'm not entirely sure how it works yet, as it's been less than a year… I want to make sure I'm in the right. :)

I left the country after 6 months (I know it wasn't mandatory), and it will be a year in a week (my visa is valid until March 23rd).

Do I absolutely have to leave the country, or can I simply go to the immigration office in Bangkok?

If so, do you know where I can find the necessary documents?

Thanks in advance and have a great day! 🙏🏻

now this is just a an idea, a curious question that's been flouting around in my head for a bit, so I'm located in the rural countryside,nice and quiet and peaceful, most days just sitting on the front porch or pottering around fixing things, fishing and watching the wildlife, hold on I'm getting to the question, lol, but I've always loved the coastal areas so my question is, how hard is it to move province/ immigration office, the one here is excellent,very easy for everything, so my file is here do I ask for it and take it to the new one or do they send it or do you have to start over again with your TM30 etc, now this is just a thought it will probably not happen but you never know,lol

Just a heads up for anyone thinking they can ‘easily’ get a DTV Visa extension or new 6 month stamp at an immigration office …. It’s not gonna happen 😅

Decided to go to our local immigration office which a Koh Phangan (granted this visa office already hates us farangs as there are many naughty people who overstay or work illegally on their ‘visas’ here) explained I was there for a new 6 month stamp, I came prepared with all of my original documents I had applied for my DTV with in the UK just incase they asked.

Was told ‘No we don’t do that you have to deport and come back’

I said politely but still standing my ground as I’d read others in this chat having a hard time with the extension too, that I can extend once in a 12 months period. She said okay I can do but it’s too long your visa will expire by then as too much paperwork for me, look: she proceeded to show me someone else’s DTV visa extension application which was about 100 pages 😅 she then proceeded to shoo me away as she said she was too busy, as I was walking away she said you go to border and deport I’m not doing extension …

So that’s what I had to do. Did the land border crossing today on foot front Pedang Besar got stamped out of Thailand and into Malaysia easy, had food stayed for about 1hr 30 then crossed the border back into Thailand. We did have to be processed by a more official Thai officer in a little side room where she asked for our DTV visa document and passport but it was all very smooth and got a fresh 6 month stamp!

I’ve seen other posters on here use agencies and/or having to pay 2000 baht at the border crossing to do same day crossing, we did it by ourselves got a grab from Hat Yai to the border and just walked it by ourselves we didn’t have to pay anything and returned the same day. Would recommend this border crossing, just make sure you have your DTV visa printed as they did get funny with someone else for not having it printed !!

We also did the digital arrival card for Malaysia and Thailand and weren’t asked for it once either side 😅

Overall a frustrating experience not being able to extend… however the ease of popping over into Malaysia and back the same day and getting the new stamp so easy made it okay 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello,

I need to transfer my non b visa to a new passport.

I wondered if it’s possible to do it at any immigration office or does it need to the the same one the visa was done at?

I also wondered what paperwork or documents are needed to do this please?

Many thanks ☺️

Permanent Residency question

I’m considering applying for PR. What is the full process - I’m married to a Thai National. As a UK citizen, what’s the process for notarising (and apostille) for education certificates. Anyone know a company in Bangkok that can handle the process for a fee (and police report)
