the question is my passport runs out in september and i will be applying for a 1 year extension in march/april, is it easy to transfer my extension to a new passport or would it be better to get a new passport now

TIA bob

I’m in Pattaya and I want to get a visa for my girlfriend to come to England. Where is best place to get this and how much to agency charge?

I am having trouble doing the visa

The site I went to keep saying it can’t go through and my friend has found a site but it is $100 to do it. Can someone please help me? This is a message I keep doing and it’s three days before I leave. 

Hi guys, I'm applying my e-visa from country A, can I fly to another country to wait for approval and enter Thailand from Country B? TIA

Marriage certificate , is Australian acceptable ??

Income proof , is signed and stamped by bank statements acceptable

Update - Got Approved on 03/11/2025

Hello.

I'm in bit of a tricky situation, I applied for a DTV Visa (Remote Worker) at the HCMC, Vietnam Embassy.

Now there was an additional document request and after that its been on "Pending Approval" since last monday.

Now problem is my vietnam visa expires on 5th November, now im hoping somehow miraculously it gets approved before my visa expires, but if not what is my best choice?

1) Overstay few days? And pay the fine

2) Fly back to another country and stay there

3) Do a visa run, go to laos and come back to vietnam with a new visa

Assume im not in vietnam, will my DTV visa get cancelled? (Or is that only if i enter thailand)

And yes i have tried emailing, messaging, calling the embassy regarding my situation few days ago but havent gotten a response yet.

Hi, I’ve got a question. Can I travel around the country while my visa’s still being processed? I applied using a hotel in Phnom Penh, but I’ll be checking out soon and want to go to Siem Reap. Thanks in advance.

How long before my 180 days is over should I go over to the immigration for extension? Is there a time limit?

Hi folks,any Australians been asked by their Australian banks (mines Westpac) to provide a Thai Tax Identication Number?

I'm a retired pensioner on a Non O Retirement Visa and have been here over 180 days.

The request came about ..apparently..because I registered a Thai phone number..linked to my Thai bank accounts.

Sounds a bit serious as they're saying that they could block my account..in Australia..if I don't provide the required information.

Any feed back is appreciated .

Hello guys I wanted to share my experience applying for the workation DTV in Jakarta.

Timeline:

Arrived in Jakarta on 20.October 25

6 am and immediately applied online. And payed around 11-12k THB but in IDR.

30.October 25: Status changes from document check pending to pending approval.

Maybe 5 hours later it changed to approved am I got the email.

Documents used:

Proof of funds:

Bank statements from Revolut showing 13.5k in EUR which is a little more than 500k THB for 4 months (think 3 really is enough but I did it for 4 months just to be save)

Proof of location:

I prepared a pdf with following things:

- screenshot of flight booking

- screenshot of hotel booking

- Picture of boarding pass

- Picture of visa on arrival + passport (you have to pay the visa on arrival on a separate booth before the immigration. If you show the visa to the officers you will get a stamp in the passport if you use the machines no stamp but you still have the slip from visa on arrival)

- Picture of a slip from a purchase at the airport and my ID on the same picture.

Portfolio:

- Cover letter explaining why I want to do workation why Thailand all data of company like tax registration no. How long its registered name of website.

- Screenshots of my website with the services I offer

- CV

You only can upload one PDF for portfolio so I put all in one file and converted it to PDF.

I hope that helps a little bit after reading so many bad news
