How can I secure a DTV appointment at the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City?

There are no more appointments. They switched to e-visa on the 8th of October. You now apply online once you've entered Vietnam.

Brandon ************

You don't need a TM30 unless you are going to immigration. If you won't be going to immigration then don't worry about it.

Otherwise, it's a legal requirement regardless of where you are staying. EVERY property owner in Thailand is legally required to report a foreigner staying at their property within 24 hours of arrival.

What visa options are available for long-term expats in Thailand considering a six-month rotation?

Brandon ************

if you have a non-O visa there should be no requirement to show a ticket out of Thailand as non-immigrant visas are considered long term visas.

No border run, you just apply for the extension at your local immigration office.

Do I need to stay two nights in Laos to use my DTV visa to re-enter Thailand?

Brandon ************

Only Chiang Saen and Chiang Khong are known to require one night out of Thailand, not 2. Whether they consider you leaving and returning with a visa a border bounce or not is difficult to know. If you are using a different border, you shouldn't have any issues.

Where can I find the TM-7 form for a 30-day visa extension in Thailand?

Brandon ************

Yes, you get it at the immigration office. Each immigration sets their own policies and requirements so they vary from office to office. Here's a general list of common requirements.

Can I extend a 90-day Non-O visa by one month?

Brandon ************

No, you cannot get a 30 day extension to a non-O visa. The only extensions available to a non-O are the 1-year extension and the 60-day visiting Thai family extension if you have a Thai wife or Thai child.

Is the landlord legally required to file the TM30 for foreign tenants every time they return from overseas?

Brandon ************

That depends on your immigration office. Some require it and some do not. You would need to check with them.

But I certainly wouldn't be paying anyone for a TM30. Tell the agent that it's a legal requirement for them to do it and you are not paying anything for it.
