Hello, I hope everyone is well. I submitted my mother’s Thailand visa application on the 5th of November from Australia while she was visiting. The embassy requested additional documents on the 12th, which I uploaded straight away. Since then, the status has been showing “Pending Approval”, and I haven’t received any further updates.

My mother is a Bangladeshi citizen and lives in Bangladesh so not sure if this is a reason for delay.Her flight is on the 26th of this month, so I’m getting a bit worried.

Is anyone else experiencing the same long “Pending Approval” status? Is this normal at the moment? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏

I need to set up a will and prepare to travel with my wife to the US. Has anyone done this? The will is for assets in the US and Thailand.

good morning, I have a question on the DTV.

I am Italian citizen, 55yo, regularly employed in Germany with good income, can I apply for a DTV in order to have a visa which allow me to stay in Thailand for 120-150 days a year?

Is there any other requirement rather than to prove that I have a job with a sufficient income, in my home country?

Hi all. Looking for recommendation . . .

Would it be best to buy a laptop in Pattaya (Tukcom) or Bangkok, and if in Bangkok where? I was thinking maybe Bangkok, more sellers, more stock, more bargains. I did an AI search and the AI results are telling me Fortune Town Rama 9 and MBK. I've been to MBK a few years ago and all they pretty much had was phones.

Thanks in advance all.
