Is a rental agreement acceptable for the METV application in Thailand?

Ron ******

You can't get a year out of a METV so showing them an agreement that exceeds the validity of your visa may not be a good idea.

What is defined as a 'competent official' for signing the Form STM 10 affidavit for a marriage-based visa extension in Thailand?

Ron ******

If immigration gave you the form to get a witness to sign it would normally mean the witness isn't required to attend. They would normally tell you or your wife. It may have changed but when we did our extension in August that form wasn't available for download. We just had our witness sign and provide a copy of their ID and house book.

How long does it take to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from the Sydney Consulate?

Ron ******

What's your travel date? That visa is valid for six months from the date of issue. So if your travel date is a way off they might just be holding off issuing.

Can I extend my O visa to a retirement visa after it expires, and will I incur a fine for doing so?

Ron ******

Unless you fancy extra trips to immigration and joining the hordes then it's still best to get it before coming.

How do I determine the 72-hour window for filling out the TDAC before arriving in Bangkok?

Ron ******

@Mike ***********

If you're not sure factoring in time difference then just try submitting. It'll either accept or it won't. Not complicated.

Is it normal for immigration to visit twice after obtaining a 12-month non-O marriage visa in Thailand?

Ron ******

D'Andrea Doesn't explain why someone who has been living here for years in a genuine marriage should suddenly become subjected to increased scrutiny.

Can I obtain a Thai driver's license during a 10-day stay with a visa exemption?

Ron ******

It's quite likely that the DLT office will require documents you don't have during your 10-day stay. That aside, the initial licence is only valid for two years, half of which you won't be here. Come for your holiday and worry about a licence when you move here.
