Hello! Just arrived in BKK. Need to open a bank account to deposit funds to convert visa to Non-immigrant O visa. Here with my daughter holding ED visa. When do I need to start my application to extend to a year visa? Should I be thinking of hiring an visa agent? Thank you 🙏

Hi, I obtained a DTV from the Thai embassy in London.

I printed a copy to travel with but we had a super rushed transit through BKK to our onward flight for Krabi and I completely forgot to show the paperwork, I mistakenly believed it would be on their system as soon as my passport was scanned.

Subsequently my very travel weary brain decided it would be a good idea to check my passport and my stamp was just the 60 day one.

Has anyone had a similar experience and could offer advice on the best course of action? Many thanks

Hi! Question on the DTV renewal: after 180 days do we have to go to an immigration center in BKK with the same documents we used to apply the first time at our home embassies? Thanks

Hello does anyone have any experience with visa extension in Cambodia?? I was waiting for the DTV approval but I only have a visa exemption..so I'm worried that I'll not get that in 14 days and want to apply for a T visa. So my question is can I apply it in person at immigration office?? What things do they require?

Are you able to get a residence certificate with the DTV visa?

Looking to purchase a vehicle when I get to Thailand, and this is one of the requirements.

Hi everyone, quick question currently in Thailand on DTV, do I have to report to immigration every 3 months?

Changing jobs without leaving Thailand.

I am on a non-imm B visa and work permit in Bangkok. I have accepted a new role in another province.

Both current/future employers are willing to coordinate.

My current employer with cancel both my visa and work permit.

My new employer will apply for the new work permit.

What steps do I need to do to obtain a new imm B visa without leaving the country? What questions should I be asking the immigration office to ensure it all runs smoothly?

Thank you

Hi. When I visit Thailand I stay with my g/f in her rented condo near Rangsit. I'm never usually there for more than 2 months at a time, a few times a year.

In the past, when I had to apply for a 60 day visa, (from UK) I completed a TM30 myself with all of her details etc & took to the local Immigration Office. Only on one occasion did the Officer take any action & stamped the receipt part of TM30 & returned to me. On the 2nd occasion, I did the same thing but was told by a different official that TM 30 was NOT required. When I queried this, she said if questioned, just to say the Immigration Officer has stated "Not Required."

I'm sure I'm obliged to compete. Anyone else had to deal with this type of situation where partner is in rented accommodation? Thanks.

I did my 90 day online reporting yesterday (15 October), when it was due. For my work visa

Just got email saying it was rejected today. Can I do a short trip to a nearby country to reset the reporting period or is it too late and I need to present myself with all the documentation at the immigration office at Chamchuri ? (Our company is BOI).

For all people entering with a DTV: double check the IO stamps the correct dates!

I just realized my DTV was stamped in for only 5 months instead of 180 days 🤦‍♂️

I entered via land border and i’m now very far away from there. TBH i’m not even planning to stay the full 5 months.

Should i even try to get it fixed at the nearest immigration office?

In fact, my calculation says it’s only 149 days. This already includes the start and end dates.

Start date: October 7, 2024

End date: March 4, 2025
