Hi all!

I am planning to apply for DTV and would appreciate your advice 😊

1. Does anyone have experience embassy in Ankara? I read a few posts here mentioning β€œname does not match” issue when application was declined.

Are there any additional documents they typically request aside of regular list?

2. I have had non-b visa before in Thailand. Until the first week of April, before I started my new job, might this be an issue? Do you suggest to explain and submit cover letter also?

3. What could be the proof of current location while being in home country?

Many thanks in advance!

Dear All,

what's the regulation for TM30, if I have previously lived in Thailand for 2 years but recently changed my visa due to workplace change, do I need to ask for my landlord to register for a new TM30? (I had to go out of Thailand to make a new visa) TIA

When receiving a new passport, do you need to get your visa stamp transferred or can simply carry both passports when dealing with immigration?

Hello everyone,

I require some advice or guidance please.

My retirement visa expires on the 28th December and I will not renew. I have booked a same-day return flight to KL on the 26/12. I have been informed that I only need to cancel my multiple entry permit at departure immigration Thailand. And that I receive a 60 day tourist visa upon my return at arrivals immigration TH.

Is this correct? Thanks for your time

Hi everyone :)

Does someone know if having a DTV is giving you the right to apply for a resident card?

Thank you for your help ❀

DTV approved!! I wanna share my experience with the applying members. I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™.

I got approved in Vientiane, Laos. My walk-in appointment on Dec 11 and collected my passport on Dec 13.

(Note: After Dec 20 Thai Embassy in Vientiane will be closed until January 1 to upgrade their system to e-visa application)

My previous visa was in Thai language school.

I am working remote for a Singapore-based company. I applied under "workcation as a remote worker" category.

This is the list of documents I submitted

- Letter of request for visa approval

- Filled out Visa application form

- Portfolio (Resume)

- Education background and career related certificates

- Employment Contract

- Payslips since contract started

- Verification Letters from my Employer Company (employment certificate, remote work verification, visa sponsorship letter)

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA docs since my employer is Singapore-based)

- Bank statement 6-month (some say 3-month okay but I submitted 6 to be safe. I used Bangkok Bank account)

My employment contract with the Singapore-based company started in October. I submitted my Oct, Nov payslips. But the officer gave them back to me over the counter.

I wrote a neat cover letter "Request for Visa Approval" mentioning my purpose to apply for DTV. The officer carefully read it and asked me a few questions about my remote job.

I saw that the most important documents the officer carefully checked were

- Employment contract

- Company verification letters

- Company registration docs (Singapore ARCA)

- Bank statement

I submitted a 6-month statement of my Thai Bank account I opened with my language school visa.

The officer carefully checked transactions at the end of each month. I think it should be an account you are using regularly.

Lucky for me my company supported all the necessary documents and everything went well at the embassy.

I got lots of help from the members of this group. Thank you everyone.πŸ™πŸ™ πŸ™

And I hope everyone will get approved and live in your dream country.
