Does anyone know a reputable agent that can organise a DTV visa from Australia. TIA

Hello, I applied for Non-O visa in USA but it was not approved until 1 day after I arrived. I know I need to re-enter country to activate the visa but I would like to open a bank account first to start the aging of 800k deposit. Any chance of opening a bank account in Chiang Mai without visa? I have copy of approved visa, thai phone number, and residency certificate. Anyone know of a bank which would allow me to open account? Thank you

What does DTV mean?

Hello everyone,

I want to apply for a Non-O visa to visit my family in Thailand. I'm in Vietnam, Hanoi. I have a son and a partner there, and we are not married. From what I understand, I should choose the Non-Immigrant Visa (O).

The required documents are:

1. Biodata page of passport – the first page of my passport with my personal details. OK.

2. A photo not older than 6 months – OK.

3. Document indicating current location – I don’t really understand this. Should it be a photo of my passport with the entry stamp? Or a document from the owner of the room I’m renting?

4. Financial evidence – I have an account in a Thai bank with the required amount, but is a printed statement enough? Since I’m abroad, I can’t obtain an original bank statement with their stamp.

5. Personal details of family in Thailand – I have photos of my partner’s ID, but my son doesn’t have any documents yet. What should I provide yet? Maybe invitation letter from my partner?

6. Proof of relationship – I have a photo of my son’s birth certificate. Is it enough?

Do I need anything else?

The points above come from the official eVisa website.

However! On the website of the Thai Embassy in Hanoi there are additional requirements! Check this out

1. Copy of the Thai child’s birth certificate AND a copy of their passport or ID…

But my son doesn’t have any of that.

2. Copy of the Thai house registration book, certified true copy, signed and dated.

What is that? We don’t own a house.

I’m confused.

Hello guys!

Is fast track a legit thing? I watched a video of a guy that entered with a fast track service, but after two months when he was leaving the country they told him he had a fake stamp and got arrested. Is that possible? Thanks

I got a multi entry E visa valid from 28th November until 26th of may. I thought I’d get stamped I. From the day I arrived. Until the 26th of may. But I’ve been told I’ll only get stamped in for 60 days on the day I arrive in Thailand. But obviously I’ll be able to come & go. But if I arrived on day 25 th of may. Would I get stamped in for 60 days 🤔

How long of the waiting time in Vientiane now?

I've been in Thailand since February this year (did the 6 month extension). My previous history before getting the DTV had me stopped and questioned every single entry for a couple of years.

Just left for a week to go to Hong Kong and back. They barely even looked at me at immigration when I came back, just stamped me in and waved me on.

Hi everyone, I’m in the process of applying for DTV (workation) in London. I’ve lived and worked in Thailand for the last 4 years on Non-B and work permit, but recently got a remote job based in the U.K. I’ll be back London at the time of application and will remain there until I hear back from the embassy.

Any tips from people who have applied in London in this category?

🙏

For showing proof of funds - does it matter if it's a joint account with two names? (Someone told me that for a retirement visa, that means you'd have to prove double the amount)...

If I'm applying for soft power DTV, and I have a joint checking account with my father which shows a balance of a little over 500K, will that be adequate?
