Hi all I have a yellow house book a thai id card issued in Nathon and I have funds available I was wondering if I could get a DTV if I was to take up Muay Thai I also obviously have a house and a business here but currently use a non o visa but it’s a bit of a pain any advice would be appreciated thanks

Hi hopefully you guys can point me in right direction,

Couple of quick questions.

Do I need my Thai ID before I can apply for my Thai passport?

What documents will I need to prove to apply for passport ID ?

My mother is Thai but I was born and live in the UK, we have houses and land in Bangkok and surrounding areas, will this help me at all?

Thanks 🙏

Some visa questions (and thanks very much in advance)

My family and I are starting the process of moving from Nevada to Hua Hin. My wife is a Thai citizen and my 19 year old daughter was born in Bangkok. We moved back to the USA when my daughter was 2 years old so the only Thai ID we have for her is her birth certificate and she has a US passport. My mother and I are American.

Questions: For my daughter, do we need to go to the consulate in Los Angeles to get her a Thai passport, or can she just get a 90 day visa online with my mom and me and then get Thai ID after she gets to Thailand, or can she just show her birth certificate and get a visa on arrival without a return ticket?

How long does it take to get the online 90 day visa, and do we have to wait for my mom to get her US passport to apply.

Would rather not go to LA if possible, long drive, hotel stays, etc But also don't want to have to buy round trip tickets.

Thanks so much!

Hi folks,

I moved here to Thailand 6 months ago. I've got a non O visa that I will be extending for 1 year based on marriage.

My name is on the title of my wife's and my house and I have just been issued with a Thai I.D. card (pink).

Is anyone able to explain to me the benefits and rights that my Thai I.D. card extends to me?

Sincere thanks in advance for your kind consideration.

Does anyone on here have a yellow house book and if so can you tell me the benefits please.

Can a 16 year old work legally in Thailand?

Does a 16 year old American citizen with a Thai father & farang mother need a work permit?

My friend from USA traveled to Thailand (dual citizenship). Her Thai passport had expired so she used her USA passport to enter and was given a 30 day visa exempt. She later went to immigration and asked for a 30 day extension and they literally stamped her in for 1year without any steps to show any banking requirements.

They told her that since she’s a Thai citizen w a Thai ID card she’s immediately eligible for 1year resident extension on the 30 day “Visa Exempt” stamp in her USA passport.

Was this a mistake by immigration or do they automatically give out 1yr extensions to a Visa Exempt stamp for Thai ID card holders w out having to meet any financial requirements similar to other visas???

I was in the impression that dual citizens are governed solely by which passport they use upon entry. But it seems they make exceptions to dual citizens?

Pls advise.

My husband is a Thai national BUT never had a Thai ID card issued, so we plan to go to Thailand to get his Thai ID card, then renew his Thai passport.

I’m keen to hear people’s thoughts on the best visas for us to get, given that the process of getting his Thai ID could take several months.

Any insights welcome! 🙏

Hello, sawat di ka 🙏

The situation:

I am British and my husband is Thai. We are going to Thailand to get his Thai ID card (he came to the U.K. as a child so needs to go to Thailand for his first Thai ID card). We hope to stay in Thailand for a while.

We are thinking of entering Thailand either with 30 days on arrival or a tourist visa. Once he has his ID card, and if we choose to stay, I will apply for a marriage visa in Thailand.

My questions:

Am I right in thinking that I will need to take our British marriage certificate, legalised/certified by the FCO in Milton Keynes and the Thai embassy in London? Then stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok?

Am I right in thinking that as a foreign wife, I will not need to prove my income (I make 40,000 baht per month anyway though if needed).

Can this be done at his local Amphur office in Thailand?

Anything else we will need?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if it’s possible to get a Thai ID card without my Mother present? I currently hold UK passport but wanting to apply for Thai ID/Thai passport.
