It would be great to be able to find approved cooking courses in a list,so many don't say on their websites even if they have one.

Area, Koh Lanta or Phuket.

Hi everyone,

I am self-employed and have an LLC from the US (California). Planning to apply for DTV next year w husband and 2 kids. I saw the following below and have a couple of questions:

1.If I am self-employed, what is my employment certificate? (I have my LLC/biz info but that seems to be a separate requirement?)

2. How do I get this authenticated? (We are not in the US now and were hoping to apply before going back next summer; can prolong our application plans if it’s necessary though).

“Foreign employment contract or employment certificate authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located.”

Thank you for your insight!

Has anyone found a visa service that helps with DTV extension in Chiang Mai? I used The Colonel for help with a residency permit but they don't help with the DTV extensions. After what I have read about trouble getting extensions at CM IO, I've decided to just use CM Border run service as they have been very good the 2 times I've used them and the process was predictable! If a visa service is available that can do it reliably and drama free that would be a good option. Thanks! :)

This is crazy i made a full names on my passport how is this possible ???

wholy moly i just noticed something and now i don't know if i should apply for DTV or not ...

i work in IT, have a company and am on B2B contract. I have the same one and only client for past 2 years.

all my invoices to them have a mistake, there's a digit missing in their Tax number on the invoice.

they paid every invoice, that's not the problem and i've only noticed it recently. they apparently haven't noticed it at any point.

i've corrected the mistake and my future invoices will be correct.

but, if i upload past invoices in my visa application, what are the chances they notice this and deny it because of this??

hot giggity dam

well maybe next year

:facepalm

EDIT: Ok thank you all for reassurance, am relieved and will continue with the application.

Thanks again

Good evening, I would like to know if I have to go to immigration every 90 days, please, with my DTV????🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hello everyone,

I live in Bangkok with an ED visa (Thai language course) and I’m going to change my visa to an ED dependent visa for my son who is at school.

Can I do the conversion directly at Immigration in Bangkok at the same time as my son’s school transfer, or do I need to leave the country?

Thank you!

I have a question,

Has anyone on here successfully paid tax or got a TIN on a DTV ? Seems to be a lot of experts who can give clarity on the 180 day rule ext. but no one can say they have paid tax on a DTV.

I think all the people who are giving tax advice here are disgruntled Thailand keyboard warriors 🫡👌🙏🏽

Hello,

I am on a Non-B visa and my wife and two kids are under a Non-O, all with extensions valid until October 31st 2025.

Question is after applying for the new extension can one leave Thailand during the "under consideration" period before we get the yearly stamp?

We are currently planning to have some autumn holidays abroad all together for the first time and want to avoid any restraint.

Thank you

Hi All,

Can I apply for a Thai Non-Immigrant Visa Type O while traveling in the Philippines, or do I need to do it back in my home country? If it’s possible to apply there, is the payment made online, or do I need to schedule an appointment at the Thai Embassy in Manila? TIA
