I have been sending emails to FBU.Manila@ssa.gov for over 6 months and they still have not replied or dropped my coverage. I don't want to call them at +63-2-5301-6200 from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM (Manila Time) every Tuesday and Thursday and run up a large phone bill while I am on hold. Does anyone have another option?

Hello everyone :) I got my DTV approved and I'm looking for a health insurance plan before arriving. Does anyone have any recommendations? I see things way too cheap to be true or way too expensive haha, thank you in advance and have a nice day.

HANOI, VIETNAM 🇻🇳

Has anyone had their Visa approved by the embassy in Hanoi over the weekend?

I know processing does occur over the weekend even though the embassy is not open to the public. Just wondering if there’s been any success stories of Approvals being granted over the weekend?

Currently pending approval and must extend my hotel stay. Not stressful at all 😅

Thanks in advance for any relevant experiences shared. 🙏

A question out of curiosity.

For the extension of stay based on retirement, using the monthly transfer method... Do the Immigration Offices care about international outgoing transactions?

The Norwegian Embassy is stopping with the affadavits confirming income from next year, and people who have been getting Non-O and extending their stays with the Affidavit as proof of income are now looking for alternatives. In particular this is about those who don't stay the entire year, but a lot of it. While there are other options, getting the extensions of stay based on their original Non-O would of course be preferable.

So I am wondering if people would be able to send the required 65k a month minimum TO Thailand, but send this amount BACK to a Norwegian account on the months where they are not staying in Thailand.

Or if this would raise some eyerbows at Immigration?

There's be 12 months of 65k going in, but some of those months would see the same amount transferred right back out.

Again, just a question out of curiosity, as trying to help find the best alternatives for the people affected by the Embassies decision.

Thank you

Is there a resume’ or additional personalised note submission for soft power applications? I am at step 4 at online submission. So far it did not ask me for justification but only asked for documents upload.

It would’ve been better for clarity if I could explain and justify my previous stays in Thailand and why I am switching to DTV

I recently relocated from Krabi -> CM. I went to CM immigration today to extend my tourist visa. But they would not extend it because my 'expired' ED visa issued in Krabi was not 'canceled'. This is the first time I've experienced this. In the past, I can't recall having to cancel long term visas. I thought they just expired and I leave the country. Lesson learned I guess.

I would like to know what is most advisable:

a) attempt to leave the country tonight / tomorrow morning and return.

b) fly to Krabi on Monday morning and overstay 3 days

Thank you.
