I used luma. 8000b for 90 days.

@John ******

he came in on a tourist visa. Not a retirement visa.

But yes good information to know for anyone else in that situation

@Bob *********

that won’t work if the place you are ‘volunteering’ isn’t a beach clean up organization!

There are rumors that immigration officials are now checking on the volunteer visas as there has been an influx of applications for it.

Better not chance it. Plus it’s very expensive whereas taking Thai classes is about half the cost and 100% legal.

Sign up at a Thai language school and get an Ed visa. I believe you can stay up to 12montha

@Gordon ********

not when immigration actually goes and checks to make sure you are volunteering!

@Joes*****

I don’t. Sorry. I have not yet had to do a 90 day report and our landlord did the TM30 for us.

The blue one looks like it was done on an app whereas the yellow one looks as though it’s done on a web browser

I stayed at the Centre Point Silom, was very conformable and food was good. good views as well. i paid 50,000b so it was in the middle range of prices.

they shouldn't ask for return flight. since you are allowed to stay for 270 days (with extensions) I came on a TR visa and they didn't ask for my return flight. if they do want an exit ticket you could book on onward ticket for like $10.00. You'll need to update your COE and accommodation booking after quarantine (and ASQ) for the new arrival date and flights.

Yes. The visa is valid for 90 days. Meaning you have to enter Thailand within the 90 days and then your first 90 days in country start when you arrive. Book your flight and asq then apply for your COE.
