Just Landed in BKK ~ On my 8th trip this year . No visa Run - Stays vary between 7-14 days each trip !

Asked to show my bank account ( App ) , What I do for work ( Pilot - Crew ) . End of story !

I was sent my way .

Ps: I think , it’s only a red flag if you have Multiple visa runs & staying close to your exemption timeline .

Happy Hollidays All 😵

Hi, can anyone advise how to transfer my retirement visa from my old passport to new passport, is there a deadline or can I use the new and old passports to travel into Thailand and wait till my visa expires in August next year to renew. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I currently have an Extension of Stay (based on Non-B) stamp that expires on Dec 25. I’m not renewing it because I plan to apply for a DTV visa from Vietnam.

Plan:

• Leave Thailand on Dec 22 (4 days before the extension expires)

• Work permit will be cancelled before I depart

• I’d like to submit my DTV online application on Dec 22 (same day I fly out)

Question:

Do I still need to go to Immigration to cancel the Extension of Stay even though it has only 3 days left, or can I just depart normally without canceling it?

Thanks in advance for any advice/experience.

Hi everyone, I’d appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through the DTV remote work process.

I applied for a DTV under the remote work category while staying in Vietnam. With my application, I already submitted my employment contract, employer approval letter, proof of company registration, bank statements showing the required balance, and six recent salary slips.

Today I received a request for additional documents, and I’m trying to clarify their expectations. They asked again for salary slips and bank statements, which were already provided, so I’m not sure if they want updated versions or a resubmission.

They also requested income tax documents for the last two years (2023–2024). In my case, income tax documents are issued only after the end of the tax year. I did not work during 2023 and 2024 and only started my current employment in April 2025, so I don’t have tax forms for those years.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would a letter from the accountant of my current employer confirming my employment start date be sufficient, and what details should such a letter include?

Thanks in advance for any insight or experience you can share.

Hi everyone, I‘m a bit confused regarding the 90 days report. I am in Bangkok now and got my TM30 but it has not been issued within 24 hours after my arrival. Should I still go to the immigration and do the 90 days report facing a fine of 2000 thb or better do nothing, stay 6 months and fly out hoping that there will be no fine at the airport?

My visa got approved today!

Soft Power Activities - TSL School Chiang Mai

Royal Thai Embassy in Rome.

Here's how it went down.

We did two different applications and it worked the exact same, both me and my boyfriend.

Saturday, Dec 13th: we got the documents from TSL School Chiang Mai after a week from paying them and submitting all the documentation they required.

[members only]

Submitted the application through the evisa website. [members only]/

Sunday - nothing ofc.

Monday, Dec 15th: no movement.

Tuesday, Dec 16th: they requested a paid flight ticket leaving Italy.

I did not buy the ticket before they asked me just in case I got rejected, after they requested it, I went ahead and bought the ticket, sent it to them.

Wednesday, Dec 17th: status changed to "Pending Approval", a few hours later I received the approval email!

here's answers to some questions i had before submitting the applications:

I did not have 500.000 thai baht every single month in my bank account, but I did have consistent income and movements in my bank account, I only had the final balance of around 13,500 euros in my bank account a few days before submitting the application.

They ask for an account statement for the past 3 months.

My bank account is revolut, my statement was in euros.

I was in thailand up until 2 weeks ago and had 3 entries without a paid visa (the last one was almost rejected on Oct 29th), I was scared it was gonna raise eyebrows and maybe get the visa rejected, but it did not.

You do need to have a paid flight ticket leaving Italy. (they will always request it as additional documentation, I personally did not see an upload field anywhere for it).

They did not ask me for a scan of every single page of my passport (I read on here that some embassies do, Rome does not as of Dec 2025)

As proof of location, I uploaded my flight ticket arriving in Rome from Chiang Mai, but you can upload a lot of different documents.

If you guys have any other question feel free to ask!

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone recently got approved for DTV visa from the NewYork consulate and if yes, what was the processing time? For context, it’s been ~3+ weeks since I applied but it included a few holidays (Thanksgiving). Also, I’m a non-US citizen but on a valid visa for the past 8 year. Please do share your experiences. I’m eagerly awaiting a response as I’m traveling to Thailand in January.

Hi 🙂 can anyone give me some advice?

I’ve been asked for 3 months bank statements (I initially supplied a closing balance only) and my payslips.

I had a large one off payment which contributed to me having the 500,000 baht within the last month. Am I likely to be declined because I haven’t had the required funds in my bank for 3 months? Can I explain this with a letter saying it’s a gift?

Thanks 🙂
