Going to apply for DTV Soft Power in Australia.

I have a joint account with my wife (who is not applying) but with a few times the required 500,000 baht.

Problem I see is they require 3 months of bank statement and if the joint account is rejected then I have to get a new bank account and wait 3 months of bank statements in my name only.

I've emailed the Sydney embassy but no reply.

Anyone have success using a joint in Australia please?

I have a tourist visa running out may 11

My US passport has only 2 pages left

I have a new teaching job offer to start May 13

Can I apply to renew my passport before i do a visa run, so process is under way when i return to begin work visa process with new school?

Or will i be unable to use my current passport to do a visa run if I apply for renewal?

Not sure how this works with school either. I am confused!!! Hope I outlined this clearly. What is best way to proceed..?

I'm preparing for my first 90 day report in Bangkok on a DTV.

The official website lists the following documentation for an in-person report:

1. Passport

2. Departure TM.6 card (TM.6)

3. Notification of staying over 90 days (in case of having already notified of staying over 90 days)

4. Fill in details in TM.47 form and sign your name

I don't have a TM.6 (I understand they may have been stopped years ago?). I also understand the TM.6 has more recently been replaced by the TDAC but I don't have one of those yet either. Can I just ignore this section?

Secondly, for my first 90 day report can I do it in person at the new One Bangkok office (I understand the Chamchuri Square office has closed, although it is still listed on the official website).

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

hello my grandson, after submitting his visa application at the Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos, was called for an interview today from 10am to 10:30am for validation. Unfortunately he missed his flight... How can we contact the embassy We do not find on the website the possibility to leave a message, the phone numbers found on the internet do not respond and the email sent still found on the internet are not correct.

Can he run without an appointment? Thank you in advance for your help

Bonjour mon petit-fils, après avoir déposé sa demande de visa à l'ambassade de Thaïlande à Vientiane (Laos) était convoqué à un entretien aujourd'hui de 10h à 10h30 pour validation. Hélas, il a raté son vol... Comment pouvons nous contacter l'ambassade. Nous ne trouvons pas sur le site internet de possibilité de laisser un message, les numéros de téléphone trouvé sur internet ne répondent pas et l'envoi d'email trouvée toujours sur internet ne sont pas correctes.

Peut il se présenter sans avoir de rendez-vous ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide

Hello, my son of 1.5 years old got an overstay stamp when leaving Thailand. It is the first time he got it. I thought he can overstay his stay as a child below 15 years old without any overstay stamps. Previously border officers didn't stamp his passport at all, so I am concerned he can have some problems to enter Thailand or get a visa in the future. What do you think?
