Can you complete a DTAC form in advance and submit it just 3 days before departure?

Graeme ******

No you can't, the only people I have seen do it are some of the travel agents but they hold your info and still submit the TDAC within the 3 day window. The online form only takes 5 mins and you only need to fill in the highlighted * boxes

How can I find out if I'll receive a 60-day or 30-day visa exemption for my 5-month stay in Thailand?

Graeme ******

You won't know about visa exemption but you could just apply for a tourist visa in your own country before you arrive that was you are guaranteed to get your 60 days then extend in country for another 30 days, do a visa run and if it's only 30 days visa exempt then you can extend that again for 30 days meaning you'll be ok.

Should I list my friend's address or a hotel address on the TDAC form when entering Thailand?

Graeme ******

you really think the immigration officer you are showing your passport to is going to phone your hotel?!!. I just arrived from Japan and I filled out my tdac and as long as it's in the system they don't ask, only to see your passport

How do I obtain a tourist visa and apply for a retirement visa in Thailand?

Graeme ******

@Robert *******

you use your own bank account in the USA as long as you have the equivalent of 800k baht in USA dollars or 65k baht monthly equivalent. You only need the thai account for your extension if you apply before you arrive for your non O visa

How do I obtain a tourist visa and apply for a retirement visa in Thailand?

Graeme ******

Why don't you just apply for your non O over 50 retirement visa in the USA before you travel? You will then get a 90 day stamp when you arrive and with this visa you will be able to open a bank account and start the process for your extension? Much simpler and easier for you

Graeme ******

you don't need a flight out if you apply for a non O retirement visa before you arrive. It's very simple to do especially when you are in your own home with time to fill it in. Your new life in thailand will start much easier having the non O sorted before you arrive
