Question do i need a plane ticket to go outside thailand?

Im already dtv holder and we have roundtrip taiwan to thailand, do i need to purchase other ticket?

What's wrong with Yangon Thai Embassy booking system? I don't think it's possible to book a slot there due to high volume.

I have a Work extension, and my non-Thai wife and son piggyback on this. It expires on 30 November 2024. I am just preparing the paperwork for our annual Immigration visit, and noticed that my 9-year-old son's UK passport expires on 27 October 2025. I don't have time to renew his passport before we go to Immigration.

My understanding is that he will only be given an Extension until 27 October 2025 (his passport expiry date). I will get his new passport in January and get the Extension date transferred.

My question is what will happen next year when we need to extend again in November? Will Immigration overlook a 34-day overstay for my son (28/10/2025-30/11/2025) as children can't be fined, and give him an Extension that matches ours?

Or, when we go to Immigration next month, should we all apply for Extensions up to 27 October 2025 instead of 30 November, to keep everything in sync?

Hi there, has anyone had 'Processing

Pending Approval' revert back to request document or anything? Or does that mean I'm pretty much approved and they just need to issue it.

I'm flying in 2 days time so if it's not issued then I may have to risk getting it approved whilst in thailand then doing border run

TM47.

Hello,

I have been out of the country and came back on 2 August. I did my 90 day report online yesterday and it got rejected this morning.

1. Going through some of the posts on this topic, I read that if it is the first 90 Day Report after you have been back into the country, you need to go in person to Chaeng Wattana.

Can you confirm ?

2. Can't you make an appointment online for a TM47 report before you go? I went online to book an appointment, but the [Make an appointment] button is dead ( see attached screenshot)

Thank you for any feedback on the two points above.

Hi all, seems like Vientiane has opened few additional slots for visa application next week! And I have managed to secure a slot, do you think if I can apply for the DTV visa directly and anyone know how long will it take for it to be approved? I’m planing to apply with a Muay Thai class in Chiangmai.

Hi,

5 years Elite visa valid until 17 of January 2025. Came back from abroad today at BKK and stamped until 17 of January 2025 and been told this is the way despite me insisting quite a bit I should get a year.

So, I was expecting a one year stamp until October 2025 even with the visa expiring in January 2025 as many people with elite visa did before.

Have the rules changed recently? Anything I can do?

Thanks

Hi, if anyone is applying from Hong Kong, I could do with your tips. They’re asking for my Business Registration but with the “applicants name”. There isn’t such thing, only the business name is on the BR. Catch 22? Thx

Hi lovely people! I'm leaving Thailand in about 10 days to go apply for my DTV. I am trying to choose between Vietnam and Taipei. I would appreciate to hear anyone's personal experiences with either places.

I work remotely but I also get treated for Lupus here in Thailand already so thinking of doing medical soft power since it's much easier to get paperwork together.

I recently signed a lease in Bang Saray (Pattaya area), does anyone know if a copy of my lease will help me?

Any advice or feedback is so much appreciated :)

Applied for evisa from Vietnam (HCMC) and it got approved last night. I applied last friday evening the 11th of october. On tuesday they requested additional docs. And this morning i woke up to see that the visa got approved last night.

Since I applied on friday night, and monday was a national holiday, it only took 2 working days to get my visa approved. It could have been just 1 working day, if I delivered the right documents the first time.

I applied as a remote worker as I have my own digital marketing business, so what I did was i just made a little document explaining what I do, who i work with, what my goals are in thailand, etc.

Then I just added a couple links to my main website and a link to some client case studies, but the problem was that my site is in Dutch, as i serve Dutch and Belgium clients.

So they requested additional information with the remark that everything should be in English or Thai. After that, I spent an hour or 2 to translate some key pages on my website to English. I also added a link to my Google My Business profile.

After this adjustment the visa application got approved.

For proof of location i uploaded another bank statement where I highlighted a recent ATM transaction in Da Nang.
