If you are living in your parents house in a rental apartment, what to give as location proof? Your permanent address(present in passport etc) is a different address but in the same city though you don't live there.

Hi everyone,

I applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) through the London embassy on 11 September.

The next day (12 Sept) I received a request for more documents, which I uploaded right away.

However, my application has been stuck on “Pending Document Check” ever since.

Here’s the snag: I accidentally uploaded a Monzo business account statement instead of a personal one (it’s my sole-trader account with my name/address) and only after I realized they wanted a personal bank statement not a business one. I expected they’d email me again asking for a personal statement, but I’ve heard nothing, no email, no portal message, for over a week.

What’s puzzling is that:

• My wife applied a week earlier and her DTV was approved within a week, she uploaded her Revolut personal statement and after a day the application was already in pending approval and after few days approved, took like 6 working days in total

• Several friends applied around the same time as me and were also approved quickly, even when they had to resubmit documents, only 1-2 days in pending document check and then in pending approval and after 4-5 days they got approved.

But in my case, it’s been 6 working days already where the visa status didn’t change at all from “pending document check” and they’re not even asking me for more documents, look like it’s just stuck.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with the London Thai Embassy, especially if you accidentally submitted a business account statement?

Did it just take extra time, or will they eventually email again for the correct personal statement?

Thanks for any insight!

Thanks for all the responses to my questions..I have yet another..my exit date when I entered is Nov 9....since it looks like I may have to leave and reenter for the 90 day..what is the latest I should wait to do it...I don't want to waste a month or so that I have already...am I correct in my thinking...and must I go back to the U.S. to apply or can I do Laos or Philippines? Thank you in advance.

I’m planning on moving to Thailand later in the year and getting the DTV visa, I’ve got a property rental business in the UK which has been trading for 9 months. Will this be enough evidence to obtain the DTV visa? I’ll also be doing freelance work in the construction industry but not sure how I can evidence this? Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Is the 60-day visa free period for certain nationalities to enter Thailand been reversed again to 30 days or not yet?? Thankyou

Just got my Non-O Visa here, very excited, cannot wait to start a new life and visit the new Central Park Mall in Bangkok. My goal is to extend / replace my Non-O to a year-long stay as many times as possible. I need a comprehensive view on how I may achieve my goal starting from taking the flight to Thailand, including how often & where I should report my stay to the Thai immigration office、how man I find a 1-bedroom condo within a week after my arrival、how to open a Thai bank account........and so on.

Many in this group had provided me very valuable advice to help me take the very first step, even though I don't know you, Thank You ! And Thank You for more useful advice to this post.

Drivers license renewal. I have a DTV and a 2 year Thai license which will expire in a few months. I've read that some DTV holders have had success in receiving a 5 year license when they go to renew. Does anyone have experience? I'm in Chiang Mai if that matters
