Hello all...although my US passport is good for another 8 years all my pages are almost used up from my traveling. Anyone know how long it will take at the US consulate in Chiang Mai or Bangkok office to get a new passport?

Planning on getting a non immigration O visa later this year. Although I am married to a Thai national I have seen perhaps as I’m over 50 and can afford the financial requirements a retirement visa might be the way to go as opposed to a marriage visa, any thoughts! Thanks!

Hey is it possible to apply for a business visa while I'm in Thailand with the tourist visa?

Yes, print out your visa upon the first time entering the country with it. My customs agent was having a bad day and was abrupt and demanded it. He saw it, stamped my passport and I was out of there. I wouldnt want to engage with back and forth to explain in the system....

Hi, I have already stayed 60 days in Thailand using visa exemptions, and I extended another 30 days in Phuket. Now I have 15 days left. If I want to stay in Thailand for 2 more months:

📌Option 1: Can I do a visa run by land via Laos or Myanmar? Is that correct?

📌Option 2: Can I just fly to Singapore or Malaysia for 3-4 days, return to Thailand, and get another 60 days?

Thank you! 🙏

What are the pros or cons of applying for the DTV instead of applying for non-o immigrant spousal extension? I have been doing the spousal for a decade but DTV sounds maybe easier? TIA

I have a 90 day non-O (retirement) visa and I want to do a 1 year extension. I'm in Bangkok. I know the earliest day to extend is 45 days remaining. What is the latest date for extending (one year)? Do you have to extend with a minimum amount of valid days remaining on the visa?

Hi, I have a simple question. Is there any visa agent that can handle visa stuff without going out of Thailand and give us 60 days again?

Has anyone had success finding “Thai soft activities “ in pattaya? Also getting approval using them?

My child and I applied DTV dependent on 12th Jan 2024 (Sunday) and changed to pending approval status today afternoon 13th Jan 2024 .

How long does it usually take to get approval email based on your experiences ?
