Has anyone recently applied and received approval in Hanoi? What's the approximate timeline? Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Would love to get your help on the below, and if you ever come up with that request. I submitted my documents to the Belgian embassy with the digital normal workcation (I have a permanent contract here that lets me work from anywhere), and 3 days late,r they came back with the following request for additional documents:

Higher res photo - did you scan or maybe take a picture of your passport-sized photo with your phone? I scanned it to ensure it looks better, but I guess not suitable

2.Other request documents: Since application would get 5 years-visa, please provide the letter of explanation of your plan/ project for the next 5 years in Thailand

Have you ever needed to submit project plan like this - not sure what plan they expect, that maybe I want to take language and cooking courses, perhaps at my own pace and understand the culture better?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The question might be silly and out of place but I thought Dtv folk would get it. when looking for an apartment is okay to stay in a Airbnb or will it jeopardize my Dtv visa?

What should one do if they receive an email from the Thai Consulate asking again for “need accommodation proof in thailand” even though these were already included in the application?

In my case, the original submission already had:

– a confirmed one-way flight ticket to Bangkok

– hotel booking confirmation from booking.com (completely refundable) for the first two weeks in Bangkok

Just want to know if this is a standard follow-up, then what to share with them, or if I should resend the same documents separately.

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and I have two quick questions:

• For the bank statement, is a PDF from the banking app acceptable or do I need bank-stamped statements?

• If I registered a freelance company less than a month ago, is it acceptable?

Thanks for your help.

Can I get a multiple entry tourist visa for a 60 day visit in January and return in May. Then do the same in October and January ?I’ll be traveling to and fro from the UK. Can this be done each year? Looking at just under the 6 months in Thailand each year.

Me again folks... I started from scratch and got it right this time. I will apply for a non-immigrant O visa. I'm already in Thailand, as I said yesterday, so I plan to go to Vietnam in a few weeks to send my application to the thai embassy in Hanoi.

According to what I just read, it can take between 3 to 15 days to get the visa. Is that accurate in most cases? If not, it makes it hard to plan a return date.

Also, in the requirements it says I need financial evidence showing monthly income of no less than 65,000 THB, which I have. But the canadian embassy does no longer give a certificate of income. The pension fund I have gave me an official letter stating how much money I get from them monthly. Is that good enough for the thai immigration or will I need a balance of 800,000 THB (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter)? Thanks again for your help, it's very appreciated.

Hi, I have been issued my marriage visa extension on the 30 October for 11 months as I had a 30 extension given to me before they gave me my extension. Do I do my first 90 day report, 90 days from the end of my evisa or from the start of the 11 months extension ? Thankyou but they didn't leave any paper in my passport to tell me.
