Hello friends, I prepared everything for my Non-O visa (marriage) based on a handout I received from the ladies who sort the documents at the immigration office in Surathani, Samui. On the day I submitted my application, I spoke to an official who told me that I now have to use the eVisa portal, as the immigration office is no longer responsible... (how visa agents handle that?)

I converted my documents into PDF files and uploaded them to the eVisa portal, made the payment, and waited two weeks. Since my residential address is no longer in Germany but on Koh Samui since a few years already, a current photo and a certificate of residence were requested. A few hours after uploading, I received a rejection notice from the system without further explanation.

Question 1: Is there a contact person who can tell me the reason for the rejection? I selected the embassy in Munich for processing.

Question 2: I found different information on the internet about how long the funds (400k) must remain in my Thai bank account – 2 or 3 months?

Question 3: I will try again next week, but 8 days later I have to extend my current tourist visa by 30 days – is there a minimum validity period for the visa in order to apply? Otherwise, I may have to switch to a visit wife visa here.

Thank you very much for your help! Krap pom

Wise to Bangkok Bank showing as ‘DEP TRF FR E-CH’ instead of ‘FTT’ even after selecting “Funds For Long Term Stay”! WTF BBL thanks for once again making life difficult.

I applied for a DTV visa at the Mumbai consulate, India and instead got a 'Tourist TR' visa!

Despite submitting all the documents and fulfilling the criteria with well above income and bank statement. I was basically 'rejected':(.

Think twice about applying from Mumbai. They are very stringent about it. They don't support soft power applications nor the freelance application.They are most prolly looking for people with traditional jobs with fixed regular income. Also, i assume i cannot get them to give me the correct DTV visa now?

With DTV visa holders unable to get bank accounts.

How is everyone paying a Thai income tax bill? In the above scenario that they stay in Thailand 180+ and remit taxable income to Thailand via ATM.

DONT tell me that I DONT need to pay Tax in Thailand or nobody pays tax due to lack of resources/language barrier/ etc…….

Successfully done my *online* 90-day report after coming back to Thailand with my new DTV, 3 months ago.

It was approved just 2-3 hours after submitting it through their online platform: [members only]

I didn't have to go there in person, even though it was my first 90-day report after flying back to Thailand. Took me about 5 minutes.

I hope it works for others as well.

Request for further document from Jakarta embassy

* Document indicating current location: Please upload stay permit from Indonesian Immigration and proof that you are currently in Indonesia.

* Other request documents: Please upload all pages of your passport.

What does stay permit mean? I already sent them my indonesian online e-visa on arrival (i don't have stamp because i used e-gate) and i sent them my arrival card too. How i have to proof my current location in other ways?

I opened my Krungthai bank account with my study visa. I'm now on a DTV. I recently got a new phone so need to visit the branch to get them to set it up on my new phone. I'll need to hand them my passport. Am I opening myself up to them closing my account?
