Need some advice, in which part do I upload all the stamps of my passport (which Vietnam require)

Is current location a hotel booking or passport stamp or both ?

β€”-for the address part - is that correct - the first one is permanent address in Thailand and second is current address in Vietnam?

Hi everyone,

I jsut this week renewed my Retirement Visa for another full year, but trying to map out the Visa Status situation for my Filipina Girlfriend...

I am aware that Filipino Citizens are now allowed 60 day Visa Free Entry with another 30 Day extension for a total of 90 days stay.

Recently heard from an Immigration agent that the New Thai Gvt have also made a few adjustments in regards to the border crossings, so eventhough I recognize it is totally to the Border Control Officer's discretion and even if it is Not a written rule, the general concensus seemed to be 2 Visa Free Border Crossings per calendar year would not raise any concerns...

We will of course eventually have to look into a long term visa,

but in the meantime, I would appreciate some clarification on

<What is the number of Visa Runs allowed and if we enter by Land, how many days would a Filipino citizen be allowed on a Visa Free Entry?

Thanks in advance and Best Wishes for the upcoming holidays. πŸ–

Hi all πŸ‘‹

I'm sorry for the redundance of this question but I can't find any clear answers on my researches... I'm here on a 60 days exemption visa (fr), already did the extension of 30 extra days and now planning on doing an exit/re-entry of the country in order to get another 60days exemption of visa. I'll take the train from Bangkok to Poipet on my own. (No agencies)

Is there any clear law about the obligation or not to stay one night in Cambodia before going back to BKK ? Does it depend on the border you choose ?

Thank you very much in advance for your helpπŸ™

Wow, my visa got approved! Somehow didn't expect that anymore... Now my question is, how long do I have before I have to activate it? And can I do that from a country different than where it is issued and trough a landborder as well?

Thanks

What are the chances of a 20 year old being eligible for the DTV? I understand that’s the minimum age, but I doubt they are going to accept it? Like how can a typical 20 year old have 500,000 Baht in his personal bank? Even if I do, do they question the source? Or should I just contact an agent or go try the soft power route?

Hey everyone - especially the Perpetual Travellers among you!

I keep reading that people needed to provide tax statements during the application. How do you handle this if you haven't been a tax resident anywhere during the last couple of years? Any personal experiences welcome 😊 Thanks!!!!

Looking at submitting an application while in Laos in January. Tried to make appointment for the but system says none available and mentions the e-visa will start 1 January. Will it be online only started January 1 in Laos. If I am there, I apply online to Vientiane?

Hi everyone, I am intending to apply for a DTV in HCMC in Vietnam. I see from posts in this group that 6 months of bank statements are required. Do you need to have had more than 500,000 baht (roughly USD 15,000) in the account EVERY MONTH FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS? I currently have 15,000 USD in the account. However, over the last 6 months, I had about 11,000 USD in the account per month. Will this be a problem? Grateful for your advice and sharing your experience πŸ™πŸ™

Hello everyone!

I’m preparing to apply for the DTV visa at the end of January in Hanoi.

I’ve been living in Thailand for 5 years, and my bank account with a 500k baht balance is in a Thai bank.

Would this be an issue? Has anyone successfully applied using a Thai bank to prove the balance?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
