I just had my DTV (workcation) approved from Canberra, Australian Embassy.

Applied July 1st, asked for more documentation (proof of being able to work overseas) on the 4th and approval came through last night (30th of July).

A few things I've seen people ask about:

I had a sponsorship letter from my parents

I am a freelancer and wrote a letter on behalf of myself with my own company letterhead.

There was some good advice in this FB page, so thank you!

Do immigration still offer the "certificate of residence" I have to do my 5 year driving licence and in previous years used a combination of Yellow and Blue book. But in the new world if closer foreigner scrutiny I think they might want a certificate of residence. I'm in Prachinburi.

Myanmar passport holder, Issa applied my visa last Wed n today I got my visa. It took 5 working days in Hanoi.

Hi, I'm retired and wanting to live in Thailand for a year starting in September.

I have 2 properties which bring in approximately 80k baht per month in rent... plus about 1 Mio baht cash.

I do want to give extra lessons online to only non-Thai clients. However, I will only be starting this now so I have no portfolio. Retirement visa vs. DTV? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hello :) Can I still get my 1-year retirement extension done if my passport expires in 9 months? I will go to my home country in the meantime for a new passport. Thanks :)

Hi all, want to Retire in Thailand in Sept, plan to fly on 31 Aug and apply for Non O retirement visa. I have cash to bank and income on a monthly basis. I have a house

In Roi Et Province with my partner.

What do I need to do? Is it arrive and the request local Immigration for 30 day extension? Open account and deposit money for the 60

Days then complete the visa process?

Be careful for the Laos immigration.

Me and +- 20 people needed an VOA it's 40 dollar or 1700 baht.

I was the last in the row and we did standing very close to each other.

I could see around 80% of their payments.

Everybody did pay with 2 x 1000 baht.

NOBODY DID GET THEIR 300 BAHT CHANGE BACK.

2 people infront of me from French did complain together with me. And asked for the 300 baht change. Immigration did act like they have no idea what we talk about.

After 3 times telling the same stort they did understand it.

They had to look for 10 minutes for 2x 300 baht.

And for me there was no 300 baht but only 500baht so I did pay 200 baht and did get back 500 baht.

The immigration did keep at least 300 baht from 1500 people!

Be careful when you go to laos.

(I did go 3 days for border run)

Hey guys any suggestions on this. I am currently needing to prove my location in Australia for dtv application however the immigration office is asking for a stamp on my passport showing that I’ve entered Australia as I applied for the dtv when I wasn’t in the country. Australia doesn’t do physical stamps they do it electronically.

I’ve applied to get record of movement from Australian immigration but they are taking for ever, are there any other ways of proving my location?

Cheers

I'm currently going through the process of obtaining a marriage certificate and ultimately a marriage visa, at what point in the whole process can I apply for a Thai driver's license?

Question about pick up date for under consideration stamp. I’m going to apply for extension next month so just trying to plan a little bit if possible.

30 days from my current stamp falls on a Sunday. Do you think Immigration will have the pick up date for the remaining 11 months be on Friday or on Monday? Does anybody have experience with this? That would be extremely helpful and I am aware that it will ultimately just come down to Immigration‘s decision.

The reason I’m asking is because I am hoping to take a flight on that Saturday out of the country. So ideally, I would like to pick it up on Friday if possible and I will ask Immigration to do that. Just looking for anyone’s previous experience. Thank you.
