I have been out of Thailand for the last 10 days. When I am trying to pay rent to my Thai Landlord by using my Bangkok bank account, it says " you do not have any account registered for payments (AB09) Does it mean that my account is deactivated or closed?

Hi Members, Do I need to have a return ticket if entering with O visa re entry Visa TIA

Dear friends, is it possible to Switch my Tourist Visa based on Visiting my Thai Spouse, to Non Immigrant O spouse Visa while staying in Thailand, or it is mandatory to travel outside Thailand and apply for the Non O visa? Someone told me I can switch without leaving Thailand but still not sure, Experts please give advice. THANKS

Just got a rejection notice from the Thai Embassy in Singapore.

I applied via the freelancer route - supplied all the documents necessary within the application form. My portfolio, my bank account showing 500,000 THB for 3 months.

I'm also a Singapore citizen applying.

I find it so weird that they didn't ask for more documents nor for an interview, but it just went from "Document Checking" > "Waiting for Approval" > "Rejected"

I'm trying to call them now to find out the reason. Should I head down to the embassy in person to ask for the reason for this 'ineligibility'?

Edit: Is there anything I can do about this now? Or just take the L and try applying from another country?

That $500 application fee hurts and I'm not sure if I would be willing to spend to try again even with Soft Power. It's ridiculous.

Final Edit:

I was just told by the embassy that I was deemed ineligible by the MFA HQ because I am a freelancer without a contracted income with a company. Kinda defeats the definition of ‘freelancer’ in my opinion, but it is what it is.

The staff also told me that things are becoming stricter and they’re approving less DTVs compared to the past.

For anyone else who is applying as a freelancer, just make sure you have yearly or permanent contracts with companies to show consistent income.

Well.. I guess I might either apply again through the soft power route or else just do visa runs every 2 months. Cheers to everyone that helped!

Anyone apply dtv from hkg

i want to apply in Vietnam Hanoi for DTV visa , somebody knows if they accept Wise bank statement as propf of the 500000 bath ?

My passport has about 2 years validity left in it.

If i get a 5 year SP visa and it needs to get transferred to the new passport, will I encounter problems with immigration and proof of enrollment in a course ?

Hi everyone, I have a question about the DTV visa.

Right now, I’m holding a Non-B visa but I plan to quit my current job and switch to a DTV early next year.

👉 My concerns are:

• Could my history of having a Non-B visa be a red flag when applying for DTV ?

• What documents should I prepare if I want to apply under freelance/remote work? (I have some overseas transactions since I do some freelance tasks at my free time, but they’re not monthly. Would that be acceptable?)

• For bank statements: 3 months of stable statements from Thai bank. Would that be enough?

If anyone has gone through a similar situation or has switched from Non-B to DTV, I’d really appreciate your advice or review. Thankss🙏

Are there any types of dt-visas for creatives or artists?

So a 1 year ED visa is considered resident, but a 5 years DTV visa is considered tourist
