I was in the land transport office (Chiang Mai) and they were quite happy to issue a 5 year Thai driving license, providing of course the usual conditions were met (previously holding a 2 year etc) for me as a DTV holder.
Was curious how that would work out as the Elite / Privilage visa often is denied this ability. They also knew about the LTR and said they would allow a 5 year for those also.
British Passport Bangkok.. I need to renew my passport using VFS in Bangkok. Can I still use hotel as proof of address? Does my hotel booking need to be for the entire time it will take to get a new passport? or just for a week or so? Can you still check into hotels while it is being renewed? Thanks for the help. It's a real stress.
I can get a visa for two months every time I enter Thailand. I am a retired Australian citizen. I don't have a bank account yet in Thailand. And I don't plan to apply for a Retirement visa for now. I think first to find the area where I will live and then to look for a place to rent for a long time. Is there any way I can extend the two month visa period to 4-6 months?
Hi I am an American citizen and looking to apply for a retirement visa in the US. I visited the Thai embassy web site about the requirements and there are 2 I have questions about. How do I open and securely deposit money in a Thai bank account? Where do I get the report on my criminal record? Look forward to help from fellow Americans especially if you are from Arizona.
Hello, has anyone brought an infant (under 1) into the country recently? Did they require the travel insurance that everyone else is required? If so, which provider did you find to cover them?

Hello everybody, it dazzles me with all the options so I need advice on Visa. I am dutch, turned 49 in the beginning of this year and have my own company. I am taking a sabbatical this year and I want to stay in Thailand as long as possible (no work - only relax and travel a little bit) with the possibility to go back and forward to The Netherlands if this is needed for my work/business. The Thai consulate in Essen Germany is closeby where I live and I am planning to stay in the Hua Hin area in Thailand. So what visa suits me most for this purpose. Thanks
