How to get Non O visa when ready married to Thai lady?

Hi all! I’m entering Thailand on the 26th on a DTV visa. What should I mention as my Purpose of Travel on the TDAC form?

I want to thank this group for all the information and prompt response to all answers, I found it very helpful during my application process. Now I want to share my experience in case someone finds it useful.

DTV application (Muay Thai) Approved London embassy.

Application submitted - Monday 13th October

Requested additional document (e-ticket) - Thursday 16th October

E-Ticket submitted (only outbound flight) - Friday 17th October

Visa approved - Today 22nd October

I submitted the following documents:

Last 3 months of bank statements downloaded from the bank app but also got the current balance printed at the bank with a stamp and merged everything into one PDF. (I read in some previous posts that the stamp was requested so I got a stamp just in case).

Driving Licence as proof of current location (Also suggested in some post by successful applicants and by the gym I will be training)

Scanned copy of Passport, Photo and the documents provided by the Gym (I used FitFac Muay Thai Academy in Bangkok - Highly recommended).

I'm going to pop over to Cambodia for a couple of weeks and was wondering if I can file the TM30 when I comeback? Or do I have to ask the condo owner to do it again?

How long does the visa come through when you send in all the paperwork from the Thai London embassy

Hi, I am Singaporean planning to apply for DTV in Vietnam (Da Nang).

After I make the DTV application, must I stay in Vietnam until the DTV application result is out (e.g. approved, rejected)?

Or can I leave Vietnam after the application is made?

TIA!

Just had an interesting situation on my application. I initially submitted a first application (London) but was notified by email that it will be cancelled because I indicated the wrong passport issue country, however the application status stayed at *pending document check*.

So I submitted a new application, and additional documents have been requested and submitted, this new application is currently pending document check as well.

However, a few hours ago, the status of the first application changed to *pending approval* as confirmed by an email from the embassy (in attached screenshot). Note that even though the email says it would be changed to pending document check, when I checked, it was actually changed to pending approval.

Has anyone encountered this?

Hi, question.

Our DTV application went from Pending documents check to pending approval. Applied, Oct 3rd, Oct 10th pending approval, and now 12 days later, after I called, they changed it back to Pending document check.

Whats going on. It feels like they just forgot about it, and now its going back into the entire system again? Does this mean we have to wait another 20 days, or nobody has a clue whats going on behind the scenes?

Update: We got approved a day later!

Approved visa in a few hours! ✅🎉

Applied for the Soft Power DTV through the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles.

Application submitted: Friday 10/10 10am

Approval received: Friday 10/10 5:30pm

What I submitted:

* Bio data page of passport

* Passport photo

* Proof of current address (front & back of driver’s license)

* Three months of bank statements showing $50k USD - used a high yield savings account through Marcus but no issues here!

* House of Taste Cooking Class: invitation letter, payment receipt(6 month membership), company info and data

Notes:

* Super smooth process for me

* My partner had to resubmit his application and pay another $400 because he submitted with his personal account financial account that wasn't seasoned. The second time he submitted with letter explaining the accounts + business account funds transferred, he was approved.

Huge thanks to the group for all the help. Happy to answer any questions!
