My wife and are in Danang Vietnam and we are soon going to apply for the DTV. Here it's all done online.

So my wife is my dependent. and I understand I first need to apply for myself only and get the visa, and only then she can apply, right?

So this my question:

Do I need to specify in my own initial application that my wife is going to apply after me as my dependent, and to already supply them with our marriage certificate and sponsorship letter confirming that I am her indeed her sponsor?

Or all that stuff needs to wait until only after I get my visa and she submits her own application?

Many thanks

DTV Success Story - Indonesia Embassy (EVisa website while in Bali)

*I was on an Thai education visa before

*I am an individual tax resident in my home country

*I sell software online

Documents submitted:

*A 6 month bank statement, the balance was above 500,000 baht for the last 30 days.

*A pdf showing my plane ticket,Visa on Arrival, and a 12 day booking at a hotel in Bali (I booked for 12 days so the booking would be current when they review the submission)

*I submitted a 12 page pdf detailing how I make money online, including: my software listing with hundreds of reviews, my website where people purchase, details of my paypal sales activity (annual report and 2 weeks of sales report), statement of my bank account where I recieve the money, and my tax return in my home country. I also included a statement that I am an individual tax resident, my customers are overseas, and I am able to work online in Thaialnd and contunie my commitment to overseas customers.

*I submitted my application on Monday, and it was approved on Friday (no extra documents were requested)

*Before I left Thailand, I went to my school and got them to cancel my Education visa 4 days before I left. Technically you are supposed to cancel, the visa is not offically closed if you don't cancel. It is possible when you return to Thailand (after getting the DTV), you may need to pay a fine for not closing it, so I closed this properly before applying.

Andi Traveller Thank you very much for your advice!

It's been a long time since I've had to visit phuket immigration for a 30 day extension. Can someone please give me a quick run down on how it works again? Do I need to pre fill forms prior to getting there? Passport photo prior to getting there? Can I wear shorts? Etc

Also I tried to look online about open dates around Christmas? Couldn't find. I'm looking to go around December 18

Cheers ✌️

Hi there, I'm an Australian Teacher here on an non-imm B visa through the school I work at. I've picked up some other contract/consulting work not related to teaching through a company in Thailand and I'm curious about the scope for me to do this work on my non-B visa?

Hello

I am currently applying for the DTV visa from South Korea and have received an additional document request:

"Proof of Accommodation in Thailand: Lease Agreement or Invitation letter to the Royal Thai Embassy, Seoul. (Typed with sponsor’s signature including reason, period, pp no) to certify your stay (Upload Sponsor's PP and ID copy, etc)"

Since this visa cannot be applied for from within Thailand, how is it possible to submit a Lease Agreement? It is unrealistic to sign a rental contract online without even seeing the place.

Has anyone else encountered this request? If so, I would appreciate it if you could share how you resolved this issue.
