Hello everyone

I came to Thailand in February for 2 weeks,

I then returned in March for 2 weeks trying to get my girlfriend a visa for the UK ( which was unsuccessful this time)

I am flying back to Bangkok on 21 st June for 2 days, we then both of us go to Vietnam for 2 weeks before coming back to Thailand again for 4 days.

Even though I will be under the time limit allowed I will have been to Thailand 4 times in 6 months

Will this be an issue?

So trying to clarify. Going to immigration tomorrow for my visa exempt to Non O. Then 9p days later for Non o for marriage.

For this Non O. The information person at immigration said our two witnesses need to come in person. Which I've never had to do prior or heard of. Is this correct? I don't want our two witnesses to have to drive the almost 2 hour drive for no reason.

I’m debating whether to do soft power for cooking for my dtv or workcation since I work remotely but I’m not sure if my offer letter or employment contract specifically states that they don’t mind where I work but it does state that it’s a remote position. I could ask them for one but asking them to do anything in a timely manner is a joke. The offer letter/contract does specifically state I only have to be local for equipment pickup not sure if that matters. Any insight or advice would be appreciated. I also plan to get my 15 year old daughter a dependent dtv visa and I’m assuming I’ll wait until I’m approved then submit my approval with the same bank statements i am using along with her passport and passport photos. Will my drivers license, her learners permit, and a utility bill be enough for proof of address? I’m not sure if I’ll apply here in the US or wait until I go to Hanoi.

What about a REMOTE WORKER DTV when you Just start your own company, and don’t have any clients history yet.

Any experiences.?

Morning everyone,

I am about to submit my application tonight or tomorrow.

Something that changed and probably came with the recent update is the travel information section. It sais:

last port of embarkation

then choose the type of transport, choose from land, sea, air and

vehicle number

Pretty confusing.

Last port of embarkation I would put “Laos” in there as my trip to enter Thailand starts in Laos. I would enter Thailand by bus so I would choose “land”. How about the vehicle number? I don’t know when exactly I will be traveling and what the number plates of the bus will be on that trip.

Any suggestions for that?

Hi,

I was granted the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) under my old passport (Passport 1).

I now have a new passport (Passport 2), because Passport 1 has less than 6 months left.

When I arrive in Thailand, I will bring:

– Passport 2 (new and valid)

– Passport 1 (used for the DTV application)

– The DTV approval email linked to Passport 1

Will the immigration officer understand this and stamp the DTV into Passport 2 without any problem?

Or should I do something in advance to avoid any issue?

Thanks for your help.

Hello all. I was looking for the official government website which would provide details and requirements for the different types of retirement visas but couldn’t find any. Would somebody be kind enough to share please? Thanks.

The TM.7 form is asking for my TM.6 number.

Google returned this: [members only]

Should I register for the TDAC after the fact? I entered Thailand on 15Mar, after the paper form was discontinued but before 01May when the TDAC came into effect.
