Hi Everyone. Thanks so much for help. Can I confirm if I am applying for a DTV (from Australia) as the main applicant and include my Wife as a spouse it appears we need to show a supporting bank balance of 500,000 THB each. Can the combined amount (1,000,000 THB) be in a joint bank account (me & my Wife's name) or do we need to have 500,000 THB in 2 separate bank accounts in our individual names?

For those thinking about applying for the DTV in Taiwan, here is an up to date statement (received 5min ago).

The link in there is the one you probably already know if you researched Taiwan:

So it's still a walk-in, no appointment kind of thing. 👍

DTV Visa Success - Germany, Munich:

The process took about 9 days, including weekends and a public holiday. I applied for a new passport / express 1 day before so i uploaded a "pre-passport" document, but it was rejected twice. After explaining to the embassy, I later uploaded my actual passport, and the visa was issued the next day.

Question: My passport has 10 digits (bottom left) but 9 digits (top right). The german passport office said this is normal. Could this cause issues at border control?

Good luck to everyone!

Hello all, can you please recommend an agency in Bangkok who can get me my TM30, certificate of residence and Thai driving licence please, many thanks, kind regards, Kay x. Have DTV VISA

Do you need to provide a copy of your current Thai visa (ED multi entry) or just bio page of passport is enough? Mine will expire at the end of Nov. I heard some people got DTV without cancelling the old one.

For document indicating current location, is Lao visa exempt stamp enough?

Anyone have experience using the evisa system in Cambodia? Wondering if the processing time is really 5 business days? Saw someone in Ho Chi Minh get theirs back in 2 days. Also wondering if the documentation they are requiring is the same of if they are asking for more now.

Also, I think there is a Thai public holiday on Monday. That means their international embassies will be closed too right?

Arrived 10th october 2024 yesterday on dtv just noticed wrong year for expiry immigration officer has entered 7th April 2024 for leaving ?

Searched everywhere, but still so confusing.

Doing my Thai driving license renewal from 2 to 5 years.

Need residence certificate. Is tm30 enough with 2 photos, and visa

/entry stamps? Do I need a house contract? ( just did in Pattaya for my dad, and those where the only required)

I travel every 3 weeks, so don’t have 90 day report

Do I need to make an appt for license renewal or can I come to DLT directly

Many thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏

Taipei DTV UPDATE: Same Day (or 2-3 days max) processing.

Went to Taipei’s Thailand “embassy” today and here’s what I learned

1. Foreigners can apply just with a passport and the visa application + your required documents (bank statement printed + soft power or proof of your remote work etc.

2. 9-11:30am every business day for visas, you get a number and they will call you . Drop off passport and documents

3. Within same day you’ll be notified if your visa was approved or rejected (and they will explain why)

4. PAYMENTS: You only need to pay AFTER it’s approved in cash which is incredible. The fee is actually REFUNDABLE if it doesn’t get approved.

5. The cost: 11,000 TWD (approx $360 USD)

Anybody been to KL in the last 2 weeks for non B visa processing? Heard it's taking a while now and you have to stay longer.
