Thanks for the information, Good that everything went smoothly for you. 😃👍

Hi Brett, Another great video. Q1. I have Non-O Visa with Multi Re-entry which will expire 11/9/24. I am coming back to Thailand in March 24. Do I need to do TM30 within 24 hours? Thank you.

AsThailand over regulates it's own people and creates sneaky laws against Tourists it shoots itself in both feet with all its mighty firepower.

On a multiple enter marriage visa, does anyone know how long you can stay out of the country? I know one year and it'll expire. How about 5 months? I want to work in my country for 5 months then come back and still have valid marriage visa.

According to lawyers Tilleke and Gibbins "Under the notification (2020), there will still be a duty for landlords or hotel owners to submit a T.M.30 form to an immigration office within 24 hours of a foreign national staying at their premises. However, they are no longer required to resubmit a T.M.30 form every time a foreign national returns to stay at the same place, which was an onerous requirement under the previous version of notification, issued in 1979."

I want one as a pet XD

NO ITS THE SAME IN ALL OF THEM

What you get at an Immigration Office is not a visa it is an extension of stay or a right to stay. Visas are only issued at Consulates or Embassies and are a travel document that allows you to enter the country under certain conditions and for a limited amount of time. What this guy did was change his status from having an extension of stay based on retirement to one based on being married to a Thai. He could have left the country and applied for a new visa based on marriage to a Thai but I guess it was easier to change his status at the Immigration Office.

HI, just found your informative channel and subscribed. Very helpful advice on this confusing subject. I myself am heading to Thailand in may to looks at the local rural rental options as I plan to move there permanently at the end of the year from Australia. I was told you can apply for this Non Immigrant O retirement visa in Australia before I leave permanently ? Is this right? And that the multi exit stamp is applied for over there ( Valid how long? ) All I then do is the 90 day reporting during my new life.... Cheers mate

If you had the money of course, l'm living on 40,000bht a month , o marriage visa retired from Australia last year December.

I got non o visa before l left Australia, December last year just finished my marriage visa hear in Thailand it was a long day but my wife got the paperwork together great job to the wife and 2000 bht later all done .

To do it properly you need to apply for the o visa outside thailand , multi entry , then apply for the marriage visa inside thailand .They don't like issueing a visa inside thailand thats why so many people have trouble at different thai offices.

Got my wife her spouse non-o visa in the US and it was super easy and fast. Her multi entry was approved in 14 days.

Did we get married on tourist visa after that how we get Non o visa first they give 3 months non o visa for that bank account neede or after 3 months for 1 year we have need of bank statements please tell me I am confused

Hey mate how long do you need to show the 400.000 baht in your bank account befor application I'm on a non_OA WERE YOUNGER 800.000.

The TM30 doesn't have an expiration date and immigration only knows a change of address when someone submits a new TM30 with your passport number. If you leave Thailand and return to the same address as the TM30 in your passport the address in the immigration system and the TM30 in your passport are still in synch. I don't believe for a moment that your visa doesn't require a TM30, it does. I do believe the immigration agent looked at the TM30 in your passport and saw that the address was the same as in the immigration system and that you don't need to do anything because they are in synch. I think the assumption that the act of leaving and re-entering the country somehow cleansed your TM30 records is incorrect. Unless you stay somewhere else in Thailand and a landlord or hotel submits a new TM30 for a new address the original address will remain on file. I could be wrong but I think this is a far more plausible explanation than your current understanding.

I went to immigration in Sakhon Nakon I'm a British citizen married to a Thai national. I wanted to apply for a marriage visa,they told me I had to apply for the non immigrant O visa,in the UK ,,,that was in November 2022, Hear so many different story's,,,can anyone please advise

All I can add is if your marriage fails you lose you visa automatically and as far as I know you get 7 days to sort out your new status. You would be better off IMO, to not have to relie on someone else's whim in order to stay in the country. As you mention yourself immigration said it's easier unless money is the hurdle.

Thank you for the update. I intend to re-enter Thailand early Feb on the (now) 45 day visa exempt stamp. Then go to my Local immigration and apply for the "O" Visa based on retirement. When you came back to Thailand last August did you have a flight booked out of Thailand or just entered Thailand on a one way ticket. Quick reply would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Brett, Great video, I am qualify for Non-O Visa and thinking of apply by myself but IS IT REALLY TO APPLY BY YOURSELF? If it is too hard, do you know any agency that I can pay to get it done?

Thank you for taking the time to tell us how this process works as I am considering a Thai marriage visa

I did apply for my O visa online outside Thailand.

Chere's Brett, thank you for the update, have a good day.

Thanks for sharing your experience, just wondering if come in on Visa Exempt, 30 day and get a 30 day extension, how to open a bank account and have the required 400,000 BAHT for marriage visa or 800,000 retirement visa in your account for 60 days. Some people say that the 60 day time requirement does not apply to the first application...any information on this would be appreciated 🙏. I hope that you have you own visa situation sorted, God Bless from Ireland 🍀🍀.

cheers Mate much appreciate the information .. have a nice day.

Hi Bret, I am a 78 year old australian, is it possible for me to retire in Thailand with my Thai wife of thirty years, do I need health insurance on an O visa if I apply in Thailand, I know about the $800-000 in a Thai bank or $400-000 if I have a Thai wife and go for a marriage visa. Kind regards Bill.

Very informative and clear.

Thanks for taking the trouble to do this video.

Dont listion​ to people it not geting increase​ed and vaccines​ is rubbush

Hi Brett i been doing​ my O non immagration​ visa for 5years due to married. Once the police​ come to your home you will get it. In jan you will get 1 year stamp. Between now and then if you done hear from immagration​ the day you go you will get the stamp. If they need more info they will call you but all the info you have given do not worry you will get the Extention​ so chill out have a wonderful xmas and new year. If you have questions​ just ask. I know immagration​ is different​ everywhere. But i like you know where i live in samut sakhon​ is one of the most hardest​ places to to extend​ but in 5 years i never had a problem​

Thanks for information Bro

/i have interest to retire in thailand, let hear what is your result.

Thank you for your video.Will be interesting to know the final outcome as I'm in the same situation. Had to travel back to Australia on urgent business last May and didn't bother with the re-entry permit as I new I wouldn't be back in Thailand before my O-A retirement visa expired. Will be returning to Thailand in Late January and will apply to immigration for an O visa based on retirement. Already have the financials in place that was for my expired visa so all ok there. I'm of the understanding that the retirement visa is much easier than marriage visa. I know a few people who were in Thailand on the O marriage visa but then converted to a retirement visa once they reached 50.

Cost??

How much does it cost to get this visa

Thank you for your video, Brett. I have Thai girlfriend whos hometown is in Tak province. She and I will be visiting there next year. I have been looking for information about the province and her village. There is not a lot available, so I appreciate you making some available. 😊

Thank you for this video. just what I was looking for.. I will be extending my OA in a couple of months. I also use WISE. I looked at my Bangkok Bank passbook and I also have a couple of transfers that are not marked FTT.

Hi! Thanks for making the video. I'm a thai with duel citizenship both Thailand and Sweden. I'll be turning 21 in June this year so I've gotten nervous about the drafting and I've found your video pretty informative. My thai speaking capability is very limited since I resides here in Sweden, so its unclear how it will affects the drafting.

I just reached the point in your video where the plane is taking off from the Sukhothai Airport. I just had to stop for a second and comment what a relief it is just to see the view outside the window of a plane taking off. That used to be such a normal part of life. Now it feels new and exciting, like a sign that the world is going back to normal.

I saw the video that British TH-camr made. It was nonstop whining. I think he was more interested in covering distance than actually enjoying what Tak has to offer. It's a shame that he didn't spend more than 5 minutes there. He would have found some positives. Tak is one of the most interesting places in Thailand and the cultural melting pot of Mae Sot is very exciting. I will be coming back next year.

We call them cicadas in the US and we only see them once every several years. My girlfriend in Mae Sot says the thai word for cicada is pronounced "juk-a-jun". จักจั่น

I loved the Relive movie. It looks like you went for the premium version, since you were able to include a short video clip.

Hi Brett. Coming over from Doug’s channel. When he talks about you I always assume you are a thirty something chap! Good to know you finally

It's like you read my mind. I'm thinking about taking a trip to Kamphaeng Phet over the next week or so. I'm not sure I'll make it to the waterfall. But you never know. 🙂

That's a crazy amount of water. You mentioned that you filmed some of the river exactly where I happened to ride along it on my first trip to Sam Ngao. And you're right. I recognized a lot of those spots. Of course, it looks a lot different with all that water. When I was there, it had been raining a lot, but the water levels were nothing like that.

I noticed an interesting detail just to the left and behind the first statue. There appeared to be a set of of miniature houses. Do you have any idea what they are meant for?

I half expected to see you suddenly emerge onto that drag strip on your motorcycle. 🙂 And in this video, you were turned away from the Petrified Wood Forest Park just like I was. I guess you got lucky on your second visit, and there was nobody there to stop you from just riding in.

Many of my Thai friends works at Thai Airways got Sinovac about 3-4 months ago and good to see that Pfizer is available in Thailand now. Good to have one anyway. Thanks for the update

That’s looks like a lot of water! Does it flood like that regularly during rainy season?

What a fascinating video. It is fear to learn about these things! Thanks you.
