Hello All, I am applying for the DTV visa. For the 10000 baht fees, did you pay a bit more with the conversion rate?

As I can see on my side, it shows the fee in my local currentcy on the payment page, which equals to 13356 baht.

Just wanna check if it is normal? Or am I on the wrong application site?😅

Hello, I have 2 questions :)

1- how do you get the physical stamp of the visa after it approves? How does this process work?

2- does your freelance contract need to be notary approved?

I am currently a DTV visa holder and applied for my spouse under the dependent category on Monday, including a sponsorship letter. However, the consular requested additional documents to clearly show my salary income in the bank statement I submitted. Since my salary is paid by my home country bank in mmk currency, I used my Bangkok Bank account for the statement. To address the request, I submitted my last six pay slips, highlighted the currency exchange transactions in the bank statement, and provided a clarification letter. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Is it possible to register true money for 711 as a foreigner? I did this before a few years ago but they cancelled it after my visa expired. Is this still possible?

hey howz everyone doing, good i hope.

so, i’m just finishing up my first 60/30 and settling in.

i have to do my first border run .if i FLY from bangkok to siem reap and tour angkor wat again, will i be good coming in for my second 60/30??? i’m saving up for my retirement visa here and want to use my own money to avoid the agency fees. so, i know things change here, sometimes very quickly.

i’m more than a little worried as i brought a lot of luggage, way too much for a border run and too much to afford to lose. i have proof of 1 year contract and permanent government pension and over half the required savings but i’m still nervous. i keep hearing each immigration officer is different and could almost arbitrarily say no.

Hi everyone,

After my father’s passing, my 56-year-old mother wants to move to Thailand to be closer to me. I’m currently living in Thailand on a DTV visa, but she doesn’t have the 800,000 baht required for the retirement visa. Our French embassy still issues income declarations, but they’re solely based on honor without any verification.

If she comes to Thailand without a visa, can we use the French embassy’s income declaration for her initial O visa application? By the end of the first year, she will have the 12 monthly payments of 65,000 baht required for renewal.

Thank you in advance for your advice!
