Not sure if this information is relevant, but I thought maybe someone might find it helpful:

DTV Approved

15 days total, including 2 weekends and a US holiday

They asked for my bank statements twice, but that was the only hold up

Washington embassy (from Texas)

Bangkok Thai Cooking school 2-week program provided the letter I needed with a $500 deposit.

Hello, can you recommend a reliable company to apply for DTV visa in Phuket and share with me who has Muah Thai course or cooking course?

Changing jobs without leaving Thailand.

I am on a non-imm B visa and work permit in Bangkok. I have accepted a new role in another province.

Both current/future employers are willing to coordinate.

My current employer with cancel both my visa and work permit.

My new employer will apply for the new work permit.

What steps do I need to do to obtain a new imm B visa without leaving the country? What questions should I be asking the immigration office to ensure it all runs smoothly?

Thank you

I applied for the DTV at the beginning of the month, but gathering all the required documents took longer than expected. Now that everything has been submitted, I’m concerned that, with my flight coming up soon, I might not hear back until I’m already in Thailand. If my DTV gets approved while I'm in Thailand, what would be the best course of action? Should I leave and re-enter on the DTV, or is there another recommended option? Thanks for your advice!

My elderly aunt in the states has been thinking of moving in with us in Thailand, but it is looking like she might just need care back in the states. Does anyone know if my wife going as a temporary care giver is something attainable? I feel like I've heard things suggesting yes and no.

I recently got insulted by a member of this group

who wrote, "you are a stupid German and don't deserve to be in this group"

and further he went "you don't even know ho to write in proper English"

so I wish to share with you a quote, that was posted in my personal FB group. My friend from Tennessee wrote:

"That sign is a real piece of history! I’m happy that you secured that piece of the past! You’re more American in spirit than many that are in name only!

It’s in deserving hands, Greg!

Love Ya Brother! Gary"

I've got friends all over the World. I had a shop in Germany and employed guests from Australia, USA, UK , NZ and many other countries

I speak 3 languages fluently, and further 2 languages basically. I live in Thailand for 6 months every year, for the past 17 years

I am hard of hearing, my hearing loss is 90%, however I can read lips and my hearing aid (strongest ya can get) gets me around

Thatdda ya all . . .

Dear group:

Can you advice/ share experiences about entry refusals at a Thai aiport? And what are good/ reasonable next steps if that happens?

Scenario: EU/ generally Visa on arrival.

[Second scenario: 7 months ED Visa, then fly to Laos or Vietnam for a week..then want come back on a 60 days visa on arrival]

Thanks khrup ;))

🚨 DTV Visa Rejections – Let’s Learn from Every Experience! 🚨

I’ve seen many inspiring success stories about DTV visa approvals, which is fantastic—we’ve all learned so much from them. But what about those who faced rejections? 🤔

If your DTV application got rejected, please share your experience:

* What was the reason for rejection?

* Which consulate did you apply at?

By consolidating these experiences here, we can create a valuable resource for everyone going through the process. I know we can search the group for “rejected,” but having everything in one place would make it even more helpful and insightful for all.

Let’s support each other—every story, whether a win or a challenge, is worth sharing. Drop your experiences in the comments! 👇

Hello everyone 😊

I have applied for DTV on 11.10. in Berlin embassy via eVisa. So 10 working days are over, but the status is still „Processing Pending Document Check (1)“ and the last update is the 11.10. , the day i applied.

Is it normal, that my application is still on Document Check after 10 working days?

Are there experiences from other members of this group, that applied in Berlin?

I only found one other post from Berlin, where the whole process was completed in one week.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Hello all,

I applied for a normal TR Visa and it was DECLINED with the reason "place of issue in e-visa system not match with passport"... for understanding: I hold an italian passport but living in Germany. Place of issue was Hannover, Germany which I wrote in the e-visa system. This information is NOT visible on the first passport page of an italian passport which you also upload. Therefore Thai embassy said that place of issue would be Italy which is different than what I stated in the e-visa system.

I already wrote them a mail together with the page in my passport showing it was issued from the italian embassy in Hannover, Germany.

What should I do if they not accept this and want me to start a new visa process? My flight goes already next week and honestly spoken in my point of view this is a mistake by the embassy and not me.
