Which document should i prepare for DTV application based on medical treatment?

Im currently under treatment at a major hospital after an accident last year.

Will the recites for the treatments i have received the last 10 months be enough?

Im currently awaiting between treatments and dont have more than a verbal agreement to return to treatment when conditions are right.

Im retired an have pension every month.

Im getting a financial guarantee 500k from my family to support the application

All information on how i should prepare, and where to go and apply for smooth experience will be received with gratitude

Thanks in advance :)

For UK Expats. Today I received a message from Halifax bank informing me my credit card account will be closed within 65 days. This comes right out of the blue. Just a heads up for Halifax/Lloyds TSB/Royal Bank of Scotland customers that you might be getting a message in the near future...

***Update. Just called Halifax and have been told a review has flagged you are not a UK resident so do not qualify for a credit card. Shame they told me 4 years ago it was fine and have happily updated my address to a Thai one 3 times, used my Thai number for their app and sent new credit cards to my Thai address ðŸĪĢ

I plan to retire on 30 September. I am currently working with a work permit visa extension. My current residency is in Nakhon Pathom, but I will move to Bangkok. May I kindly ask for advice on the best timeframe to apply for the new visa extension. Many thanks

I have a question hoping someone can help....

I have a Thai stepson in Thailand, he's 13 years old and at school.

I want to bring him to my country where my Thai Wife lives with me.

Has anyone else done the same?

I'm wondering what visa to get, as he doesn't speak English, at all.

So a normal school won't be a consideration.

Although he needs an Education visa, apparently..

Any suggestions/advice is appreciated.

🙏👍

I’m hoping to spend 7 months in Thailand and currently trying to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from Canada right now but they have asked for a detailed account of what I am going to be doing during my stay. So I have asked the KPT Language school if I can pay for a 4 month course ‘Thai for Beginners’ in advance, from Canada. I was going to enrol regardless but I had wanted to do it in Thailand - but that’s fine. My question is: I was relying on applying for a 30 day extension and doing a land border bounce through an agent - after reading many posts, I am worried now. Do you think I will have issues?

Now I plan to travel at the end of this month with an itinerary of Chiang Mai for a week then fly Bkk to Hanoi spend a week near Sapa , then back to Thailand for a week in Bangkok

How will the visa (s ) work and do you see snags ? I'm on South African passport and flying in and out of Bkk on Emirates . Will have return flight issued and hotel booked in Chiang Mai
