Has anybody done the DTV visa for medical treatment?

I need to get some demtal implants.

It Takes about 6 months to complete the implant process.

Would one dental implant be enough to get the DTV Visa or do I need to make the treatment longer? Already had consultation with the dentist and they are willing to write a letter and treatment plan.

Thanks.

Also, after reading that new article about the delays, right now, where is the best place to apply for DTV visa?

I saw somebody just got it in Vientiane, Laos, 2 business working days but then I saw someone 3 weeks.

Hi. Just wanted to verify.

I am going to Savannakhet to apply for a new 90-day Non-B visa for work. I have the appropriate paperwork from my new place of employment.

I believe that I no longer need to make an appointment through this website: [members only]/

The process should simply be.

1) Prepare paperwork. Upload as much as I can into the E-visa website: [members only]/

2) Enter Laos

3) Between 09:00 and 10:00 upload additional verification that I am physically in Laos. This can be a photo of my Laos entry visa.

4) Pay the Visa fee. I believe that I must do this in-person with cash at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet.

5) Wait for the visa to be emailed to me. Or will I go to the consulate to pick up the visa after being notified?

Is this correct? Anything I am missing?

I'm looking to see if anyone has a similar history to me and has any advice about getting a DTV.

I have been in Thailand since mid 2022 - I started on a 6 month METV, then went to an ED Visa for a year, followed by another ED Visa, the second of which was less educational than the first.

Has anyone with a similar history had issue getting a DTV and would you recommend using an agent? I've seen first hand the pull agents have with officials in country, but I am not sure about at embassies abroad. I'd be looking at the Soft Power route as unfortunately I'm not over 50 and my income comes from a vet pension.

I'm applying in cambodia and they ask for this again, but i'm staying in my friend's home, what shud I do for this?

I opened a Bangkok Bank account by DTV. Currently the account has been locked for 2 weeks without a due date. Does anyone in the group know a lawyer to go with me to the bank to request a refund or sue? A few million baht. Leave a comment and I will dm you. Thanks

Sorry if this question has been asked previously.

Is the Thailand Digital Arrival Card required when doing the 180 day renewal in the Jomtien Immigration Office? My research shows this is not a requirement but keen for confirmation from you all.

R.

I wish to renew my 2 year drivers licence to a 5 year. They require a visa more than a tourist visa. I'm from the UK, can someone tell me what is the visa type I require just for this purpose. Can I get it in country, or do I have to apply in London?

Cheers,

I am retired and hoping to visit Thailand 5 1/2 months total each calendar year on three separate visits. Do I need any specific visa, and if not, should I expect any issues at entry with Immigration officers? Thank

you in advance!!!
