Hi I’m looking for a family lawyer/attorney. Not too expensive. Any recommendations? Thank you.

Thank you. Does anyone know where you can get a simple agreement for division of assets?

In Cambodia, if you don’t have to visit the embassy. 1. How can they stamp the visa into your passport? 2. If no embassy visit is required, can’t you just apply for the visa while in Thailand and then once approved you do a quick trip to Cambodia and then back to Thailand?

Upon divorce, I thought you got like 7 days to leave the country or to apply for a new visa? And that you have an obligation to notify immigration about the divorce? Just wanna make sure I do this right so I don’t mess up my chances getting a new visa. Unfortunately retirement visa is not an option due to my age.

Ok great. My current passport needs to be renewed next year. Since the visa is 5 years. How do you go about transferring the visa to your new passport once you get a new passport?

For the 500,000 baht in your bank account. Does that money have to have been there for X months? Or can I simply transfer 500,000 baht to a bank account today, get a bank account statement and then apply for the visa tomorrow?

Hey I’m in Thailand on a marriage extension but I’m getting a divorce soon. There’s only two months left on my extension and my plan is to change my visa after the divorce. Once divorced, In regards to my visa is there something I need to do like contact immigration etc? I’m assuming my extension will not be valid anymore and I’ll have X days to leave the country or change the visa etc? Timing is a bit poor as I’m waiting for my new passport which will come in 2-3 weeks and I’d like to have my new visa in that passport to avoid some hassle.

I see. I would feel better about having that in writing though so there’s no future problems about that?

Hi Me and my wife are getting an uncontested divorce at the amphur. There’s no children or shared assets or properties etc. We will keep each others assets separate. How can we get this in writing that we will keep each others assets to our self and there won’t be any division of assets? Is that a separate agreement we should bring to the Amphur or is that somehow added into the documents we sign at the Amphur? Thank you.

Thank you very much. That's very helpful. 1. Has it been established which city is the most favorable to obtain this visa? Vientiane? 2. If you apply in person at for example Vientiane or Phnom Penh, should you still first send the application online through the eVisa system? 3. Besides passport copies, a photo, bank account statement, hotel reservation, employment contract or a portfolio of your work - are there any other documents required? Those are very few documents so I suspect there's more.

Hi I’m currently living in Thailand on a non-imm O visa (marriage extensions) but I’m thinking about changing my visa to a DTV digital nomad visa. 1. As long as you leave and re-enter the country every 180 days, does that mean you can stay in Thailand for 5 years for only 10,000 baht? 2. Are you able to apply for the visa online when you’re already in Thailand? They’re asking for “Document indicating current location” so I wonder if they’d accept my current rental contract in Thailand? 3. Am I missing something about this visa? The visa almost seems too good to be true while being easy to obtain. Thank you.

So that confirms they want to implement it next year. So then the only remaining questions are whether it'll be implemented at all (most likely it will) and if next year is feasible (which still seems like a stretch for such a big change).

Hi The global income tax bill is currently being drafted and it seems safe to assume that Pheu Thai is behind it. With the Peoples Party (Move Forward Party) being progressives and heavily inspired by the west, I assume they'd vote for this as well meaning the bill would get a majority vote and most likely pass. 1. Do you also think the bill will most likely pass? 2. If the bill is passed, how likely is it to be in effect for the tax year of 2025? Perhaps someone here is familiar with how quickly new laws are passed in Thailand. I asked ChatGPT and got a decent answer: "Passing a tax law on global income in Thailand would likely take more than three months due to the complex legislative process. It involves drafting, Cabinet approval, multiple parliamentary readings, and royal assent, followed by implementation procedures. A realistic timeframe is closer to six months to a year or more. "

What if you keep going in and out of Thailand every 2 months, then I assume you don't really need to file the 90 day report at all? Even though you're living here on a long-term stay visa.

Quick update. When I was there on a weekday at 8 PM there was about 20 people in line and it took almost an hour. So don't take for granted it'll be quick.
