I just bought my ticket for arrival in July. proximately 90 days. I was wondering if I could pay for the extension now online.

I am concerned that they may actually cut back the 60+30. And one would think anyone buying the ticket before the change would be safe but nothing is guaranteed.

Thoughts and helpful advice would be nice.

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?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some advice:

I applied for the Thailand DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) from Bali (via Jakarta Embassy) on April 13. Right now I’m in Bali on an extended VOA (I'm good for 28 more days). My question is:

Do I need to stay in Indonesia while waiting for approval, or can I leave (I’m planning a trip to Japan)?

I won’t enter Thailand until the visa is approved, I'm just wondering if leaving Indonesia affects the application at all. I'm fine with coming back to Jakarta if in the rare case I'm called in for an interview. Also, if anyone here applied for the DTV through the Jakarta embassy recently, how long did your approval take? For context, I’m a US passport holder.

Thanks in advance!

I want to visit for a month. What visa will I need? How many times can I enter the country this way? If I decide to retire in Thailand what do I need to do? I live about 1 1/2 hours from Washington DC. Would it be best to work through the Thai consulate.

Was told by a fellow DTV holder that as long as you leave the country after 6 months, the 6 months gets reset

the way i read it, was that it is 6 months out of a year we get on a DTV but he seemed to think it just renews as long as you leave the country even if you have already stayed 6 months

interested to see if this is the case, great result if so but not how I have read it

What’s the Go

Got approval today for my Non O 90 day visa , yay. However it’s starts today and I’m not flying out till the 22/4. I put the departure date in the application so it seems they gave short changed me. Is that typical scenario and is there a way to get those days back.

Cheers.

Hey everyone, I’m looking into getting an ED visa to study Thai and trying to understand how flexible it can be.

Specifically: Is it possible to do only 2 days per week (instead of 3+)?

Are there evening classes, or is it mostly mornings?

Do any schools allow some online / hybrid attendance?

If you’ve done this yourself or know good schools in Bangkok, I’d really appreciate recommendations or contacts. Thanks!

EDIT: I only prefer 2 days over 3 days because it fits my schedule better, I'm fine with many hours a day

I have a couple of questions about a renewal of an extension of stay based on retirement.

1. Is it possible to move the annual date to a time where I will be more regularly in Thailand ( from April to July)

2. Can I do this extension while traveling around Thailand on a holiday?

3. If I am at the address on my TM30 do I need to provide the following to immigration... house book, ID card of landlady and rental agreement. I don't have any of these things but I am not sure if I need them?

Thank you!!
