I am from UK, and some say I may need a police DBS criminal record clearance for certain visas , I have a physical copy of my UK DBS from 2019 , which Is obviously all clean, but after 2019 , I registered my DBS on the online update service ,so you pay a yearly fee for it to be online for ever if you wish to do so, this is so any employer or who ever needs it can access it online , so no print out Is required no more , they are doing away with paper work as digital is the future, so my question is do I just give thailand my permission to view the DBS through the UK goverments online system. Just wondering if Thailand are this up to date yet ? And if not what have I got to do, I can't go to DBS criminal check people and say I need a new certificate as I can't see them issuing it, there is no point to issue me one they will think it's very odd and this may raise concerns like I am trying to get duplicate copies to forge or something ?

I am back in the UK applying from London embassy.

I live and work in Spain in the summer, but permanent address is the UK.

I uploaded my Spanish bank statements in English.

Anyone have any idea what I can do for the requested documents about the bank?

I’m also not able to go to the bank as it’s in Spain

Just want to thank Thailand Visa Advice for their free assistance with the TDAC application. I will be transiting through Suvarnabhumi in a few days, but bought the two legs of my journey separately and expect I'll have to pass through immigration and customs before checking in for next flight and different carrier. Was getting hung up on checking the box that I'm a transiting passenger. The official form wouldn't let me select that nor allow me to advance on the application. Reached out to Thailand Visa Advice to take them up on their standing offer of free assistance with this form and it couldn't have been more painless.❤️ About 5 minutes later I was approved and downloaded my QR code. Awesome and very grateful!!

Anyone able to recommend a good trustworthy VPN for Android use in Thailand?

Just asking for advice.

I will be arriving on a 90 day Non-B, E-visa. To be extended to 12 months Non-B within the 90 day.

Hello everyone, I’d like to ask something.

I’ve already applied twice and was rejected both times (the first time under the freelance work category, and the second time under soft power).

My question is: how long should I wait before applying again? And is it true that if you get rejected the first time, it’ll be harder to get approved in the next attempts?

Thank you so much for all your comments!

Just wanted to share my experience applying for the DTV — hopefully this helps anyone going through it!

🗓 Timeline:

• Friday 24th Oct – Submitted my application

• Wednesday 29th Oct – Approved ✅

(No additional information requested)

🥋 Muay Thai Training / Activity Requirement:

I applied under the Muay Thai training category with Lamai Muay Thai Camp, Koh Samui.

They were really helpful and super quick providing all the paperwork needed.

The program is a 6-month membership, offering up to 6 days per week / 2 hours per day training for around 34k THB.

Attendance isn’t mandatory every day, but they did say to attend regularly (at least weekly) as immigration may check attendance.

📧 For anyone needing info or documents from them, contact Nikki at muaythaitour@hotmail.com — she was amazing and very efficient.

⚖️ Visa Assistance:

I used Siam Legal (Bangkok) for consultation and processing. They do charge a fee, but it made everything stress-free.

Highly recommend Kanda — she was fantastic and very responsive 🙏

✈️ Where I Applied:

I was advised to apply in Hanoi for faster processing — and that was definitely true. From submission to approval, it took only 3.5 working days!

🌴 Overall, it’s been a smooth experience and I’m really happy with how easy it was.

Hope this helps anyone applying soon — good luck everyone! 🤞💙

UPDATE : Visa was approved and status changed back to request interview.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I JUST RECEIVED MY APPROVAL !!!!

After calling the embassy multiple times with no response and one lady told me it's no point of me coming to the consulate if I don't have an appointment, I decided to write them an email again.

I sent the third email with urgent and flight date on 03.11 in the REFERENCE

In the email I sent my condolences to the passing of the queen and that we love Thailand and have been there yearly every winter since 2020.

My visa just got approved!!!! This time it is an INDEPENDENT DTV not as a follower of my husband like the DTV visa I received on the 14th October!!!!

I'm beyond happy and exited for our next chapter as a family in Thailand with our dog.

Thank you so much for your help and advice !!!! I'm so happy !!!!

Visa was approved and status changed back to request interview

I went to the interview on the 20th of October and 9 days later, the status has not changed.

I sent 2 emails to Frankfurt with no reply. What should I do ?

Please help, I'm so worried. I'm not from a visa exempted country, my husband is German. He got his DTV in May.

Our flight is next week Monday 03.11.

The emails I sent all got unanswered.
