I finally submitted my application now that I landed in Vietnam but it keeps saying payment failed or canceled. I only have one international debit card with Charles Schwab that I’ve taken and used in over 12 different countries with no issue. I have a travel notice set for both Vietnam and Thailand and I am currently using it for other purchases.

I’ve tried safari, chrome, DuckDuckGo, laptop and mobile and keep getting failed payment. I’m so stressed out does anyone have a solution please? I’m on hold with my bank but their headquarters are in Texas and no one has answered yet. I want to give up.

EDIT: the Thai eVisa payment processing center is a Thai bank however its address is located in HONG KONG. I called my bank and they approved the charge and added Hong Kong to my travel alerts in addition to Vietnam and Thailand.

According to the Schwab representative I called, the eVisa website also used the current address zip code for the billing address - which is so nonsensical bc if I have to be in the country of the embassy I’m applying to why would they use the current address zip code for the billing zip code? Why not ask for that when taking down payment information?

Anyway, hope this helps any future applicants

Does anyone know if I can apply for DTV with my Forex/share market trading?

Dear group, now after 8 month of soft-power DTV I might need to change my visa to a regular working visa. As I just applied to a bunch of white-collar expat jobs here in BKK and already have interviews scheduled.

I'd assume the process is pretty intense, but would be handled by (company) lawyers anyways.

Just to get a broader picture: has somebody in this group done this Visa transformation? How was it?

Anything one should know?

(PS: It would be also a bit strange and first time for me to be 'totally' in the hands of the visa sponsor company - at least this is how I'd likely feel in the first few months. What do you think?)

Hello,

My husband has already been approved for the DTV visa (from Portugal), and I am now submitting my application as spouse. We only have one bank account, which does not hold 500,000 THB + 500,000 THB separately for each of us.

Do you think I should submit the same bank statements that he used for his visa application (from our only shared account), and include a sponsor letter explaining that we have a joint account, the funds belong to both of us, are accessible to both of us, and that my husband will be financially supporting me during our stay?

Or would it be better to wait until we have 1.000,000 THB ?

We also have funds in a investment broker, but I understand that doesn’t really count for this type of visa — is that correct?

thanks in advance for your help

Hey everyone! I’m planning to apply for the DTV from Pakistan, but I’m a bit stuck on the financial requirement. Since sponsor letter is also acceptable, my father is willing to sponsor me and has enough funds with 6 months of bank statements.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation?

Will Thai immigration accept a sponsor letter from a parent, or do they strictly need the money in my account?

P.S: i earn a steady income of around USD1.5k/month and have around USD 5k in savings myself.

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

I intend to enter Thailand with an approved visa. All my documents are scanned and not physically printed.

Could this be a problem when entering Thailand? Should I print everything? Or is it enough for them to be scanned and I can show them from my mobile if they ask?

Can someone please explain clearly what I have to do around day 90 about reporting?

Do I have to do it?

Is it online or in person?

What information do I have to provide?

And then what do I do at day 180 when flying in and out?

Thankyou 🙏🏼

Hi I’ve got a problem with the eVisa system. I hope someone can advise me how to proceed.

A week ago I applied for Non-O visas for me and my wife at the Thai embassy in Berlin, completed the applications and paid with my credit card. I just checked the progress and both are marked “Pending Payment.”

Now just around that time, without any prior warning, my bank swapped out my credit card due to a “security issue.” All the payments I made around that time on the old card were honoured, but I see there’s no debit for the visa payments.

On the eVisa website, there’s no mechanism for going in and changing the payment details.

Does the “pending payment” mean they just haven’t gotten to my application and processed the payment? Or does it mean the payment was blocked and never went through? (Maybe my bank’s security problem was actually the visa payments processed by Kasikorn.)

Should I just let those applications die and submit new ones with the payment from my new card? Or wait for them to come back to me and ask for payment?

We’re traveling to Thailand mid-August so the clock is ticking.

The DTV took quite some time in Australia to get processed .

10 weeks .

Do i now need to exit Thailand and re enter for the DTV to take effect ?
