I am currently in Thailand and intend to apply for a muay thai DtV visa in Laos or Cambodia. My question is, is it possible to apply while I am in Thailand? Even though I am applying to an embassy outside of Thailand. Thanks for the help.
I have two questions that I have looked for and I couldn't find any answers. If I missed something, I apologize.
1. If I apply in my home country and leave to another country (not thailand) before the approval, could that be an issue? and
2. I was asked for 500k THB (12500 Euro) which is less than 500k THB - did anyone get approved with only 12500 Euro instead of the 500k thb equivalent in Euro? I could get the money, but I wouldn't sell more stocks to realize gains/pay taxes and have it sitting around in a savings account if it can be avoided :D
Hello everyone, on September 18 I came to Bangkok with a visa on arrival 15days , by the 1st of October I went to Penang to do a 60 days tourist visa , they don't do walk in visa any more so I came back yesterday with a second visa on arrival.

Thanx 🙏
The wife's got a uk residence permit that runs out in June. We are no longer going to reside uk. I'm british. However we need to go back in July for family gathering. So was planning on getting her 10 year tourist visa. Does anyone know if I would have issues. I think I read somewhere can't do a visa for 6 months after one expires? I know this a thai visa forum but I joined a couple of uk ones to try find the answer and no posts ever get answered, hoping someone from uk maybe done similar. Also while I'm on I've come in on a non o visa. Last I had was pre covid, what do I need to extend to a year. I'm sure last time I did was pretty straight forward and have to have 400k in bank any advice appreciated save me having go immigration twice
Heyy guys. Question relating to 90 days report. What is the fine for late report ? What I know it’s 2000 baht but I was told it is 500 baht per day too. If any information, please let me know. Thanks in advance
I am currently in Thailand with the 30 days visa thing. Had some sudden change of plans and will need to extend my visa. Do you think it’s possible if I just walk in to the bureau and request to extend?
This is a bit dumb, sorry. I understand the rules- I think, but I find them counter intuitive and so I am uncomfortable. I am going to start bringing some of my cordless tools back. Do people really put the tools in a check bag and then just bring a handful of batteries in their carry on??
