I need some advice here!

My fiancé and I are about to officialize our marriage. We are starting the process and expect it to be complete in the next week and a half.

I got the DTV visa beginning of November walk in in Taiwan.

My fiancé got a 90 day visa that expires on Feb 3rd.

We plan to go back to Taiwan or maybe even Vietnam this time to apply for his visa as a spouse/dependant.

What I’m wondering is if we will run into any issues with our marriage being so recent. We plan to hire a photographer and dress up the day we go to the Amphur and everything as it’s a super special day for us (been together almost 13 years). But my concern is now that all DTV applications are online, they will see we just got married and think we are doing it just for the visa (We have been engaged since July and planning to get married anyway)

Does anyone have any info or experience with this? It’s my understanding that everywhere is online application now-no walkins. I know once you pay the application fee you cannot get the money back if they decline you so I just want to avoid all of that. Thanks so much!

Employer letter....?

Does the letter from an employer just simply need to have your name, maybe company logo, maybe company contact, and simply state that you are employed by X company and work remotely?

Anything else like does it need to explicitly say you can work remotely from Thailand?

Sharing My Experience Entering Thailand with the DTV Visa

Today, upon arriving at immigration, I presented my passport, boarding pass, and printed DTV E-Visa. The immigration officer called someone, presumably her superior, and I was directed to another counter where I was asked:

* *"What were you doing for the last 3 months here?"* (Because I had a 60-day visa with a 30-day extension). I explained that I previously had a multiple visa for 6 months.

* *"Do you have a business here in Thailand?"* I responded, "No, I applied for a remote worker visa," and showed my employment contract from my email.

* *"Where are you going to stay in Thailand?"* I presented our 6-month apartment contract.

* *"Until when will you be staying here?*" I mentioned until June, showing my booked return ticket.

She then stamped my passport, confirmed my stay for 180 days (which I was already aware of), and wished me a Happy New Year before I left.

Just sharing my experience as it might not be the same for everyone - just a heads up!

Happy New Year Everyone! 🥳

Hi everyone, I've received our TM30s from the agency we've rented our condo from as a pdf on WhatsApp. He said we don't need to print them off just show them on our phone to immigration. I just want to double check that this is correct

Hello all.

I am in a very unique situation where I won an unemployment tribunal on the basis of severe bullying from management that I decided to whistle blow on. I'm posting anonymously as I had to sign an NDA.

The money was paid to me in a lump sum of $150,000 from my company and then I had a four month gap in between where I received no new income as I was living on this settlement payment.

I now have a new role and I'm an employed remote worker. Majority of that settlement payment was given to family members. So I only have around 30,000 left.

Do you think immigration would accept or understand being paid a large assessment payment as a result of an employment tribunal as an acceptable source of income, if there were a few months in between where I received no income at all and was unemployed?

Do you think I should explain this to them especially considering I signed a NDA or do you think this will just make them see me as complex and it is better off saying that I was just paid off a large redundancy payment?

I need some clarification about Thailand's new e-visa for Indians.....

Is visa-on-arrival at the airport still available or do we need to take an e-visa?
