As somebody who has their first Non O — 1 year Extension of Stay date coming up at Bangkok Immigration, I have 2 questions; 1). Am I supposed-to in advance glue one of the 2 recent identical headshots required, to the application form? AND 2. If II have already a preplanned trip back to America this summer, and to avoid dealing with it at the airport in June, is it possible to receive a valid EXIT STAMP in my passport at the end of the upcoming Extension of Stay appointment?
I'm 2 year in on a non o retirement visa from the UK. I've been going home a few times a year with reentry permit. My visa is due for renewal in December my question is I want to go home for an extended stay possibly up to 6 months in May....is this possible or is there a time limit I can stay outside of Thailand before it affects my visa ? From what I've found out 45 days is the limit ....is this right ? What would be the best way round this ? I have the 800,000 Bhat in a Thai bank....Thanks
Question on expiring passports and extension of stay.
I have an OA visa and I am on an Extension of Stay to October 2025 (multi-entry). I do the extension in early September each year.
My (Australian) passport will expire in January 2026.
I have read various posts about this and it seems to me that the simplest approach is to get a new passport before attempting the extension.
I think I can renew the passport in Thailand, but this seems quite a lengthy process.
As an alternative, I have no problem with renewing my passport in Australia mid-year prior to doing the extension in Thailand in September. But that will mean that I leave Thailand on the old passport, and return with the new.
As I understand it, I simply show both passports on return and get the existing extension moved to the new passport once I have arrived.
What is unclear to me is
(a) I have an existing multi-entry stamp in my old passport. Is this still valid (and thus allowing re-entry)?
(b) Once arrived back in Thailand, do I need to immediately "transfer the stamps", or can I just wait until I do the extension, (showing both passports + associated paperwork/insurance/funds etc), as the new extension will go straight into the new passport.
Looking for advice on flaws in my logic/understanding.
I have a pending consideration stamp in my passport. We plan to leave Thailand for an overseas trip. Will my visa application be cancelled? Google search says it will. Anyone have any experience with this?
I am married to a Thai person and we stay about 6 months in Thailand and the rest of the time in my country of residence. We normally break up these stays to periods of 2 to 3 months at a time. So we do quite a bit of traveling.
My question: is there any visa that I should apply for or should I just enter on a tourist visa?
I have a re-entry permit question specific to Chiang Mai.
I want to get a multiple re entry permit .... i have a Non O visa. I understand the documents I need but not the process.
Do I need to go through the document checking process at Immigration or is there a different counter. Also, does it make any difference which Chiang Mai Immigration office I go to.
Have there been any same-sex couples with a Thai Marriage Certificate either from a District Office in Thailand or a Thai Embassy/Consulate successfully applied for and received a Non-O E–Visa based on Marriage to a Thai at either a Thai Embassy/Consulate or changed their Thai Visa in-country; or applied for an Extension of Stay based on Marriage to a Thai??
Also, how is the exception to financial requirements of a foreign wife married to a Thai husband being treated with same-sex couples??
New 60 day on arrival visa, arrived in November on 60 day tourist visa and got 30 day extension at Buriram, went to Vietnam for a week, arrived back in Bangkok and they would not let me back in the Kingdom, said I was staying too long, put me in a room with a bunch of Africans, luckily my partner of 5 years was with me and she had to sign a form and after an hour I was allowed in, I thought that I had followed the rules to the letter, I think that in future I will get the 6 month multi entry tourist visa, my girlfriend has a 5 year visitor visa for England and we spend 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in England, just a warning for people here on the 60 day tourist visa I would do a road visa run to Cambodia and avoid the main airport.
