Hi everyone, how long is the DTV processing time in Berlin usually?

I had originally submitted my application on 17th November. On 1st December, I got a request for proof of freelancing registration, together with my tax assessment of 2024, which I submitted the next day. I haven't heard of any news since then.

Is this normal? Thank you!

Hello all.

Regarding the "Music festvals" claus. what exactly does that entail?

also, could I go to school for music and qualify that way?

according to [members only]/ it states participation in local music festivals, does this mean performing?

Hey. I just got my DTV approved earlier in November. I left Thailand to go home to celebrate xmas and new years with the family before I plan my return early January. I noticed after I got back that I didn't get a "departed" stamp in my passport. Will this matter much when I re enter Thailand?

Thanks 🤗

Got my DTV approved & flew into BKK the next day, had a female IO stamp me in. She looked a bit moody but no questions asked even though she took her time to look at my docs

What date does my visa expiry date looks like to you ? 20th June or 20th Jan, 2026 ?

If it’s 20th of June then it’s over 180 days that I got stamped in (190 days ?)

Please advise, if this will become a problem for me & how should I rectify this. Thanks in advanced !

Hello

I try to apply for a Soft Power Muay Thai Visa.

I have to fill out the lenght of my stay, which I dont know yet for sure. The Gym made me the letter for 1 year, but I wont stay that long. Just about 3-5 months.

Thank you for your help

Got approved Jakrata on sunday. I got workstation one but no where on visa it's mentioned workstation, any difference between soft power and workstation? Since workstation would be stronger in eyes of immigration instead of dodgy 6 month cooking ones.

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, I'm on my 90-day Non-O visa, the 800k THB deposit should come in before or around Dec. 18, an exact month after my entry. I plan to extend my stay to a year. Many thanks to great advices from this group. My questions are :

1) when should I apply for an extension to a year ?

2) if I wait for my deposit to reach 2 full months and then apply, will I have enough window between 2-month deposit vs. 90-day stay ?

( I really don't want to leave the country and then re-apply for 90-day Non O )

3) are health insurance、criminal record from one's country required for the extension.

4) my Thai bank did not ask for address certificate and I successfully opened an account. Would I still need to apply for address certificate for any purpose ??

K-Bank at EmQuartier shopping mall did an excellent job, no address certificate needed、no hassles、very helpful staff and open on weekends. I strongly recommend this branch ! 💪💪

Million thanks ! 🙏🙏
