If you're applying for your DTV 180-day extension at immigration, make sure to do so at least two weeks before your visa expires.

This was a small but important detail I wasn’t aware of. Despite preparing a very comprehensive document package to support my application, I was turned away because I applied only 10 days before my visa's expiration date.

The immigration officer was very helpful and suggested I do a visa run instead.

I flew out to Malaysia and returned via Phuket Airport. Note: Arrivals are now required to complete a digital arrival card in advance. Honestly, this streamlined the entire process. You’ll have the option to list your employment - I listed myself as Founder and CEO of my own corporations, which I operate remotely - and you can also include your visa number for immigration reference.

Thanks to the new digital system, the entire re-entry process was smooth and hassle-free.

Edit: I had applied through Phuket Immigration Office.

Hello, when we are coming back from international travel. Do we need to have the owner do another TM.30 every single time? Even though they've already done it for us in the past.

I need a letter from my bank to certify that there is 400k or more in it. Can that letter asked before the 2 months are up as the amount only will go up or does one ask for that letter on date the 2 months are up?

How far in advance do I need to pay immigration the 1900 baht to extend my stay 30 days beyond the original 60 days?

My 1 year on non-O visa is coming up in January.. Every month I got in the 65,000฿ (so I can withdraw the 800,000 after a year). Monthly it was in on the same day or next, one time it was 4 days off. And a couple of times it was in pieces (the 65,000 was divided up - like 30,000, 10,000 and 25,000 all coming in at once) because otherwise Wise wouldn't get it in time. Hoping this might work out somehow, or am I screwed up on this technicality... maybe dependent on the agent?

Good morning to the community,

I have a question regarding the monthly 65000 baths transfer from abroad for retirement 1 year extension.

On thai admin website I read that it should come from pension. Is it correct and if yes how can I prove that these 65000 baths originate from my pension ?

Thks in advance

Have a nice day

Hi! We’re planning to stay 90 days in Thailand. We will have 60 days on arrival, can we ask for the 30day extension right away after arrival or we need to wait a certain number of days to go to the immigration office?

Hi guys. I heard that if you are applying for one-year extension based on marriage or retirement, you can apply up to 45 days before your current renewal expiry date. Can anyone confirm this? I normally apply about two weeks before but would certainly do it sooner if I could.

Hi guys, I just did the 1 year extension on the marriage visa. First I was thinking I have to keep the money in the bank all the time, but considering I got the 1 year stamp and need to do only drive through 90 days reports and some comments I've seen here lately, it seems like I can use these money now? Or I will have problems obtaining next extension in 1 year if I don't keep them untouched? 🙏

If you live with your wife and family at your residence and go away on holiday within Thailand for a day, days or week do you need to inform immigration upon your return ?
