Hi all.

I have a question about the TDAC. I'm flying out to Bangkok next Sunday the 28th. Will the weekend delay the processing of my TDAC if I apply on Friday the 26th?

Thanks.

I will certainly appreciate your helpful insight ! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ As an American citizen, I plan to apply for O-X visa from Europe, the Thai embassy in France tells me that it would be difficult, if not impossible, because it requires a bank account in Thailand with a Thai bank. And hence, they suggest me first apply for one-year visa with multiple entries, open a bank account in Thailand and afterwards, apply for O-X visa.

However, someone in this group shared earlier that he applied for DTV visa from Vietnam and his foreign bank account worked. And a visa agency in Taiwan tells me a bank account from Taiwan would work. (I'm also a Taiwan citizen)

I need some insights on this, especially as the Thai embassy reminds me that if I fail to submit the exact documents, the *โ‚ฌ*350 fee isn't refundable. (the staff is patient with my concerns and super friendly ๐Ÿ˜ƒ)

Thank you ! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Hi there! I wanted to ask if itโ€™s possible to apply for the DTV Nomad Visa as a consultant. I work for a marketing firm as a consultant and wasnโ€™t sure if that qualifies under the program. What sort of documentation are required from the company Also, is there a minimum monthly salary requirement, or do you just need to show a certain bank balance instead? Would really appreciate any clarity or guidance on this. Thanks in advance!

Ok so Tuesday I went and applied for my retirement visa renewal. Everything went fine but while I was giving my documents to the immigration official he asked where I live and wanted me to explain how to get there from the Jontiem immigration office. I explained directions and he said fine. Then handed me this paper with Captain Poo number. Explain that within the week Captain Poo would call and set a time to visit my condo and take pictures. On Wednesday I picked up my passport with the new one year extension. I thought no way is this guy going to call me. Well today he called and then came over to my place. He met the juristic and me, then had her take a photo of me and him in front of my door with the room number in it. Then two more inside. I signed a document and then he left. He had with him my renewal application. Strange has anyone heard of this. Captain Poo is real.

My family and I would like to apply for the DTV online.

What's the best / correct approach:

1. Submit my application first, and only once it's been approved, submit my wife's and daughter's application afterwards?

2. Or can we submit multiple - main and dependent - DTV applications together in one submission on the same day?

Can anyone here share some pointers? Many thanks in advance ๐Ÿ™
