What should I do to update my Muay Thai DTV visa after my passport was stolen before flying to Bangkok?

@Shannon *****

It isnt a tourist visa, it's a visa exempt stamp, not a visa at all.

What should I do if my DTV visa status is stuck after approval and I have a flight soon?

Anonymous participant Relax, you have options including checking your status the minute you walk up to immigration in Bangkok, failing that get a visa exempt entry stamp on arrival and wait a bit longer.

Contact them and briefly tell the circumstances, you got approved then bought a ticket for day X, then we're called in for an interview, and you only have X days before your flight.

Ideally you'd have color photos of every page of the missing passport, not just biodata page. Print out all your various proofs for the IO. Your hurdle is passport control accepting the photos of the old passport as genuine proof. Worst case scenario you get stamped in 60 days visa exempt and try and get a fix in Thailand.

What are the current requirements for extending a Non-Immigrant O 'Retirement' Visa at Saraburi Immigration?

Wannikea *********

Last year's list is last year's list, always get the latest handout well before extension. Some offices just refuse to deal with monthly income method. Dunno why they'd affix a tax stamp to a rental agreement.

Can I renew my NON-O visa in Thailand without an agent after depositing 800,000 baht in the second year?

@Jay ******

exactly, the seasoning terms of the agent acquired extension are not being met, and when you go to start the next extension the officer will ask to see the bank statement which will show the agent deposited 800k for about 1.4 minutes in your bank account

The problem comes from the agent depositing the 800k for 10 minutes. That 800k isn't seasoning for 3 months after the extension is granted therefore the terms of the extension aren't met and in theory you're on overstay. So.. start fresh.

Can I apply for a DTV in Thailand by enrolling in a language school as part of the Soft Power option?

Wannikea *********

Thai language is not an approved soft power activity. You may find some DTV approved institutions that do both language and for instance Muay Thai

When does the 1-year ban for visa overstay in Thailand start?

Wannikea *********

More than 90 days, 1 year ban. Entry stamp day counts as day one.
