Hello,

I applied for the DTV visa on May 6th via the Los Angeles consulate with the e visa platform, as a digital nomad.

I received a request for additional documents on May 23rd and I submitted them the same day.

I have yet to receive a status update after the status changed to "pending document check" upon submission.

The website for this consulate says 15 business days for initial response, and if additional documents are requested, it will take another 5 business days.

My planned flight leaves June 20th(US).

It is currently the 16th and I have yet to hear anything.

I saw one post on reddit about delays with additional document processing through this consulate, but it took 11 business days after additional document submission for him.

It has been longer for me.

Has anyone had similar experiences, or any ideas on how to expedite this?

I have emailed the consulate but no response, can't contact via phone either.

Hi, i am going to apply for the yearly O retirement Visa using the monthly 65.000 transfer system soon. ( Currently doing the 800.000 system.

Q- what do you guys do if you are out of Thailand as far as the 65.000 transfer every month. Do you stop the transfer while you are away, or do you have to transfer 65.000 every month regardless of where you are? Thanks.

My husband and I are going from Thailand to Vietnam to apply for our DTV visas. What is the website we need to go to for applying? I just want to make sure we go to the right site.

I'm on non o retirement visa that's up for renewal January next year. I usually apply for renewal December. My question is, my passport expires April 2027, so will have 15 months left on it at time of visa renewal. Is it a requirement to have at least 18 months left on passport, or will I be alright to get new passport after visa renewal. Thanks.

Hi all, I am currently on a Non-B visa (for the past two years) but recently got married to a Thai male and am planning to change over to Non-O marriage visa, we plan to leave the country and apply outside, but we aren’t sure where we want to go. Due to having to go out we decided to make it into a trip and want to go to Japan. Has anyone applied for a Non-O in Japan or outside the country and what was required?

I have a list of requirements but it can be different depending on the country your apply in and we’ve read and been advised so many different ways and options that it’s a bit confusing now.

Any advice or clarification would be wonderful!

Thank you!

Non B Visa expires 31 August. Company says have to follow them to immigration to cancel work permit and Visa?

Why is there a need to cancel the Visa beforehand if the Visa expires 31 August anyway? Do Visas expire naturally or they don't?

I am coming through Suvarnabhumi airport in about a week. I have a work visa and I will have ~5 checked bags with me. Should I anticipate problems when I try to clear customs? If so, what should I anticipate?

hi - I am a bit worried now. Yesterday I did my 2nd tm47 online and today I see a mail from immigration saying : your application for staying longer than 90 days has been rejected

and : please contact the nearest immigration office immediately in person.

That doesn't sound good.

Any guesses? I have done nothing not been involved with police or anything.

Hi, please can someone confirm the length of visa I will be given in November?

I have spent 3 months in Thailand January to April, 1 month in June.

Ideally would like 4 months, is this possible in any scenario?
