Just for info, because I found the group helpful. London office is currently less than 48 hour turnaround at present.

I submitted what they asked for on 17/10 at 13:30. I also included in addition, accommodation, return flight, and self assessment.

They came back the following morning around 10am asking for companies house registration. I submitted that immediately, and the visa was approved the following morning, just before noon.

Happy days 🙏🏼

If my company (LLC) is from the US, and I am British but currently in Cambodia, can I apply in Cambodia using the hotel address as proof of residency? Or do I need to fly back to the UK to apply?

So last week I got my DTV from Taipei. I think I might be one of those “complicated” applications alluded to in another’s post 🙂.

I will make a separate post in a day or so to explain why my particular circumstances caused some challenges for the staff at the embassy (needless to say, everything regarding my application was totally above board), and what I learnt from the experience, which may help others.

But that is not what this post is about.

Now I have my DTV, I need to sort out one for my wife. And my question is rather simple.

It looks like the spousal requirements are very simple, but what I don’t know is whether there is any benefit in the spouse applying to the same embassy/consulate that the primary DTV holder did. I went to Taipei from Thailand because of the good reputation of the embassy there, but perhaps now I have mine, my wife can get hers more locally.

Anyone with experience of this?

Additionally, when one is applying for a spousal DTV at a later date than the primary, is a new (more up to date) bank statement needed, or can she just use the same one that I did?

TIA.

Hi. I’m in a bit of a pickle here. My son and my visa expires on 12th Nov. My 500k bank deposit will be 3 months on 13 Nov..ie one day late. Must we leave the country on the 12th or can i just go on the 13th to immigratio and get a slap in the wrist and a fine for it? Or would they take it seriously and throw us out. Obviously any risk is not worth taking. So want to know if anyone knows for certain what the consequences are. Thanks much

Anyone from UK here had to get a Malaysian entry stamp put into a replacement passport after losing the old one. They won't do it without police report. The police won't give a report without a confirmation letter from embassy confirming old one cancelled and new one issued. High commission said they couldn't do it. Helpine directed me to phone a UK office who directed me to passport office who said they couldn't do and directed me to back to the UK number, this loop traveled several times. Who the hell am I supposed get this letter from . 🫣

Whick bank will give you an account so you can transfer

Money from abroad for O visa? SCB no. Kasakorn. No.

Staying for a few months, primarily Kanchanaburi province.

Where to purchase English style tea and teabags?

India/Ceylon origin or blends of the same, usually.

Not fond of the Liptons variety, to be honest (too weak) but haven’t seen even those apart from in almost every cafe/restaurant.

No joy at 7/11, Lotus or TMK.

Got the last pack (discontinued line) at Big-C Kanchanaburi.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I'll be spending 3 months in Thailand soon , I'm gonna need to get my UK medication. My question is do pharmacies in Thailand accept UK prescriptions please ? I'll be in Jomtien area .

Thanks guys

We are currently in Thailand on a visa-exempt entry, but since arriving have received our DTV visas. If we go to Laos to re-enter using those visas, do we need to stay the two nights required by a border bounce? Or should we be able to reenter immediately since we have a valid visa. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I'm starting to get questioned at immigration, yet they still let me in.

So, I have no problem getting the correct visa, problem is, which one do I need?

British citizen.

Under 50 years old (50 next year).

Married to Thai with kid.

3 weeks on/off.

Thanks in advance.
