Just had my DTV visa approved, applied last week, they got back to me within 24 hours requesting more information, I had to wait for my latest bank statement which was available yesterday and woke up to approval in my inbox this morning. This was London embassy so all in all their side took less than 48 hours to process and receive. The bad news is don't fly for another month lol.

Does anyone know what to do when a Thai, who is just married to a German, wants to apply for a spouse visa?

Weiß jemand was zu tun ist wenn eine Thai, die gerade frisch mit einem Deutschen verheiratet ist, ein Ehegatten Visa beantragen will?

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I’ve just applied for the DTV in the UK embassy, but I accidentally selected “freelancer” instead of “employee.” Now, they’re asking for supporting documents: a self-assessment tax return, statement of accounts, or an accountant’s letter, which I don’t have.

Would it be ok to submit my payslips instead and explain that I made a mistake in the application?

Thanks in advance

Officially from Ho chi minh in Vietnam for DTV Workcation, the information I read says we can use a sponsor for the 500k bhat in account.

After paying for the application they have stated that a sponsor is not allowed, and the funds need to be shown in my account for a minimum of 6 months.

Can anyone clarify why the sponsor cannot be accepted when everywhere I've looked it seemed a legitimate path?

Is this a glitch in the system? Did the rules change?

Hi all — I want to apply for the DTV now, but I won’t be able to enter Thailand for 6–8 months. Has anyone either:

1. applied with a flight dated soon, but entered much later?

2. applied with a flight dated 6–8 months ahead?

Any issues with approval or at immigration when you eventually entered? Thanks!

Hi Everyone

Looking for some advice please.

Scenario,

I’m on a 90-day non-immigrant visa (O) for retirement purposes and after having 800,000 baht in a bank account for 2 months I apply for a 1-year extension.

Let’s say the 1-year extension takes around 2 to 3 weeks to be granted, BUT during this time I need to leave the country for 2 weeks after getting a re-entry permit.

Does this affect the visa application/granting?

What happens if I’m granted whilst overseas?

TIA

Hello. We will be arriving in Thailand with a flight departing from Marseille and a layover in Amsterdam. Which country of origin should we put on the TDAC? France or the Netherlands? Thank you all.

I am on an initial 90-day non-immigrant B visa for teaching. I do not have a work permit. I'm changing jobs and will need to leave the country and return. Do I need to get my non-imm B visa stamped at immigration saying that it has been canceled? Or will it cancel on it's own when I leave. Thanks to You

I am 53 and planning to move with my fiancé to Hua Hin from the USA in March 2026. Originally we were advised to wait until then because he turns 50 on Feb 28, that we should enter on tourist visas and apply for the non-O when we get there, and that we shouldn’t worry about being married or not.

But now, I’ve been told that we should get married and apply for the non-O before he turns 50 because he would qualify as my dependent. (I still am not sure about when/where to apply for the visa.)

Recommendations? Thanks!

Hi. I’m looking to apply from vietnam via Muay Thai route. Where is the fastest processing embassy?

What about opinions on Laos? Am I better off going to Vietnam?
