Hi folks, I am a UK Citizen and have lived in Bangkok for over a year. I am having a lot of trouble getting my 'DWP Proof of Life certificate' signed.

So far I have tried the police station, my bank, my pharmacist and even the Tax Office where I pay my taxes, but no one wants to sign it for me.

It doesn't help that it is written in English and the people I have asked are unable to read it.

I have translated it to Thai via Google App Translator, but that does not seem to have helped any.

They have all told me that they are afraid to sign it in case they get into trouble.

It would really be helpful if we could just take it to the British Embassy, but I have heard that they would not sign it for me.

Any assistance or advice anyone could give me would truly be appreciated

Need some help with this one please.uk citizen in thailand on a tourist visa added my 30 days .35 days left .married to thia wife in uk

Want to get a marriage visa didn't now I needed marriage visa divorce papers signed off by UK embassy and translated

Obviously I'm going to have to do a visa run

As won't get done on time. Is there any other papers I need that I have missed.im getting a contract for rent on house this week. Obviously passports and my wife's id card .and at what stage can I get a bank account

Thanks all I'm sure someone has had same problem.and can't keep up with visa changes .I take it on visa Roun I only get tourist visa

Question:

UK citizen here, full-time employee wanting DTV1 Workcation visa to work for 1 month. What specific documentation is needed for the "Foreign Employment Contract", I've heard that they sometimes ask for follow up documents showing "permission to work remotely for X period of time". I'm a full-time remote employee but my contract doesn't specifically say so, will I be ok?

I don't want to pay the £300 visa fee only to find I don't have the right conditions.

---

Further Context:

My company will allow me to work 1 month at a time abroad provided I have work-permission. They also won't provide any extra documentation/ proof for the 1 month abroad. So I can't get a nice fancy document that helps me get the visa.

So, if I can't get the visa with what I've got, Thailand is off the cards and I'll have to go somewhere else for that 1 month. But my family (partner + toddler) and I would really like Thailand.

I haven't managed to get in touch with the London Thai Embassy (3 emails & 10+ phone calls) so I'm hoping you will be able to help.

Thanks!!! 🙏

Does anyone know the process for changing your last name in Thailand (UK citizen). Been married to my Thai husband for a couple of years, I need to renew my passport soon anyway so would like to take his name. Is it possible to do in Thailand and is it complicated with visa/ work permit being in my maiden name? Or is it too much hassle/ best to do when I next go to the UK?

If to retire in Thailand you need 80000 BHT in the bank do you need double as a married couple ? (Both British).

I have a young person under my care from the UK who has had her passport stolen, the photo page ripped out, then anonymously returned. A new passport has been applied for but the issue comes with the thai visa.

She entered with a Non-O volunteer visa which must be extended to the full year this December. As she has a damaged passport, this cannot be done. Immigration have said they will not give her a temporary extension until the new passport arrives, and said she must pay the 500b overstay fine every day until her passport arrives. The passport will take around 4-6 weeks making this fine extremely high.

Anyone have any suggestions on what we could ask immigration to encourage them to take pity on her and provide a temporary extension to avoid having to pay the fine? Also, she can’t leave the country to wait it out as she has no ID to travel and needs to be here to collect the new passport in person anyway.

Complicated i know!

I live in Thailand.

I have a Uk passport that is going to expire in November 2024. My retirement visa renewal is in October each year. My question is how do I keep my visa in my passport and receive a new passport? As I have to submit my old passport when renewing it?

Hello all

I'm a UK citizen currently in Bangkok on a 45 days tourist visa. I want to know my options for extending and how to do it.

I'm planning on leaving Thailand for a couple of months before my current visa runs out so no problems if I'm required to leave.

Also what are the rules with visas is there a maximum amount of time that you can spend in Thailand per year etc?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all , I have a question . I am a UK citizen my wife is Thai and we have an 8 week old baby with a UK passport. Is it possible for baby to enter Thailand on her UK passport then apply for her birth certificate and Thai passport in Thailand and then leave six months later on her Thai one . Thanks in advance .

Please help. So I am currently in Thailand as a UK citizen on the visa exemption for 30 days, I would like to extend for an additional 30 days at an immigration office here but they recently dropped the use of TM6 (arrival/departure) card for arrivals into Thailand so I didn't get one when they stamped my passport on the way in but as I understand you need this doc for the extention? Anyone else done this? Thank you x
