Anyone crossed from Savannakhet into Thailand with a DTV? Was it smooth?

I would be grateful for some advice please.

My Thai wife of 14 years would like to visit our Thai family in November for four months with a visit to Vietnam, it is about 120 days we will be there for.

What is the correct visa to apply for, I have checked the Thai Embassy website but I am still unclear as I want to make sure I apply for the right visa. We are currently residing in the UK.

Thank you.

Steve.

My son is coming over next week on a single O Visa from the USA to get a bank account setup and other things in preparation for a move.

After <30 days he will return to the US to get ready to move.

Is the O Visa canceled after he returns to the US?

Does he have to reapply for Another O Visa to return?

My husband and I are looking to apply for the DTV as remote workers, and we’ll be bringing our 3-month-old along as a dependent. We meet the income requirements and have the bank statements, contracts, and invoices ready to go.

A few questions:

1. Which location seems to have the highest success rate right now? I heard Taipei was a good bet about a year ago, but I know these things change.

2. Can either my husband or I apply as the primary visa holder, with the other two listed as dependents?

3. If we apply in the next month or so, will tax returns be required—even though the financial year hasn’t ended?

4. Anything else we should know before jumping into the process?

Thanks in advance!

I've been told Thai immigration are going to at some point not accept retirement visa agents getting visa extensions with retirees who don't have 800k in their accounts?

I've been told they're going to stop this but think it's just fear mongering.

Anyone hear anything about this?

Hi all is it OK to fly to Phu Quoc, Vietnam to do a visa run ?

How can passport type be wrong? I am like 100% sure I selected ordinary passport. There is no other details in the email or thayevisa portal where I applied, nor can I see my application form. I applied in Berlin, Germany as a resident.

What could be wrong?

What I submitted:

* permanent work contract stating the work location is anywhere (unsigned as I received it through email)

* last investment broker account statements stating more than enough funds

* travel passport

edit: upon request they updated me that I indeed selected wrong document type so it must have been some mistake with the page changing my inputs upon save/refresh.

They also mentioned other documents are ok.

DEPENDENT VISAS

I’m applying for a DTV visa at the Thai Embassy in Jakarta. Once that’s approved, my husband and child will apply as my dependents.

I already have our Brazilian marriage certificate and my child’s Brazilian birth certificate. Since Thailand is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, I was told these documents would normally need extra legalization. This would cost me around 800 USD.

Before I spend that, I’d really like to know: for dependents, have embassies actually required fully legalized documents, or have standard certificates + translations been accepted in practice?

Any experiences in Jakarta (or elsewhere) would be super helpful. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Hey guys, I’m currently in Koh Phangan and looking to apply for the DTV visa. Can I apply for it online from Singapore, or would it be better to do it from Vietnam or Cambodia?
