I have just flew from Bangkok to Hanoi Vietnam a couple days ago, I am in the middle of doing my application form on line, it’s asking me for the last port of embarkation. What do I write here ? I will be flying back if approved from Hanoi to Bangkok.

Hey all thanks in advance for advice. This is a very nerve-racking week and need any final insights.

I had my EDU visa cancelled for June 15th and the same day I plan to fly to Taiwan or Philippines.

My plan is to apply for Workation DTV visa.

I have been teaching online for 6 years now but will get my father’s (same last name) 6 months bank statements which show a couple million baht + a sponsor letter + a signed photocopy of his passport.

I will make a professional portfolio as a freelancer and bank statements + income proof for the last 6 months.

Of course there a few other required documents like copies of my own passport etc which I’ll get

But basically is there any extra advice or suggestions on Taiwan vs Philippines?

Also e-visa vs walk-in?

I will also dress quite well and look professional.

Any more advice will be much appreciated!

This is quite stressful.

Thanks all!

Can I change from marriage visa to DTV? Does it need to be cancelled first in Thailand and only then I can go to some other country to apply for DTV?

Hey guys, I applied in Vientiane last thursday, still haven’t received an email appointment. I’d really like to know how long it’s taking people to get an interview?

I’m starting to get pretty anxious about lack of news, and just heard it’s taking some people up to 5 weeks, so just want some feedbacks from success stories and waiting times!

Hi everyone, ive posted the same on other forum and as of now i have not receive reply from anyone that has gone thru similar situation.

We will need to renew our current retirement visa extension 45 days prior to the end of the validity date. Reason being, we will be out of country for 2 month in which the expiry date falls within the 2 months where we will not be in thailand.

We understand that only certain immigration office will process/accept renewal request within 45days in advance. One of them will be Chaengwattana Div. 1 (correct me if I'm wrong and appreciate some guide)

We leave in Rayong and the immigration office here will only process/accept request within 30days and not any earlier.

Questions:-

1) if we book a hotel in bangkok and get tm30 for 1 night or 2, will chaengwattana div. 1 office accept our request?

2) can we get the bank letter regards to our 800k a day before we send in our request? Or it has to be the same day as submission? We will also update our bank book the same day as the letter issued as we can do both on same day.

3) will we be able to get our passport back in the same day or it will take a working day which we will only be able to get it next day? Our 45days period falls on a Friday.

Your help and advice on this matter will be highly appreciated 🙏.

Has anyone applied for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) at the Jakarta embassy? How long do I need to keep the baht 500,000 in my bank account before applying? Can I still apply if the funds have only been there for one week? Please share your experience!

I got my DTV in March of this year. I did a 90 day report today and the immigration officer that helped me said that I shouldn't apply for a 6 month extension in September, and that I "should just leave and come back because it's easier, everyone with DTV does this."

Anyone have any experience with applying for the 6 month extension? 1900b for another 6 months sounds cheaper and easier than flying out and back in or doing a border run service every 6 months.
