Is it possible to register true money for 711 as a foreigner? I did this before a few years ago but they cancelled it after my visa expired. Is this still possible?

hey howz everyone doing, good i hope.

so, i’m just finishing up my first 60/30 and settling in.

i have to do my first border run .if i FLY from bangkok to siem reap and tour angkor wat again, will i be good coming in for my second 60/30??? i’m saving up for my retirement visa here and want to use my own money to avoid the agency fees. so, i know things change here, sometimes very quickly.

i’m more than a little worried as i brought a lot of luggage, way too much for a border run and too much to afford to lose. i have proof of 1 year contract and permanent government pension and over half the required savings but i’m still nervous. i keep hearing each immigration officer is different and could almost arbitrarily say no.

Does anyone know if it will still be possible to apply for the DTV in HCM right before christmas? And has anyone applied from there (or Vietnam in general) and can tell how long it took?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

After my father’s passing, my 56-year-old mother wants to move to Thailand to be closer to me. I’m currently living in Thailand on a DTV visa, but she doesn’t have the 800,000 baht required for the retirement visa. Our French embassy still issues income declarations, but they’re solely based on honor without any verification.

If she comes to Thailand without a visa, can we use the French embassy’s income declaration for her initial O visa application? By the end of the first year, she will have the 12 monthly payments of 65,000 baht required for renewal.

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Just flew into Chiang Mai from Hanoi. 1st time using DTV for entry.

Lady at immigration looked like I had 3 heads. I said this is 180 days each entry and she shrugged her shoulders.

Stamped in for correct amount of days it appears.

Cannot believe how quick Chiang Mai handles incoming flights. In and out in 5 minutes.

Hope everyone enjoys this! See you on the road somewhere.

I have tried to search this within the group and am not finding recent information.

Are dependent visas still offered for Ed visa holders? (I've heard confirmation for Ed Plus which is only offered through a university, correct?)

So if a parent comes to do a year long language course, can they have dependent wife and children (not yet school age) ride on their visa?

I know it was possible 5 years ago but I have heard mixed information on it recently.

Got my visa today.(Ho chi Minh )Applied last week on Tuesday but had to send proof of address. Stamp wasn't enough so I added my rental contract.

I work as a tutor online. I sent the link to my profile on the site I work on and wrote what I do and sent a 6 month earnings report.

Bank statement 6 months. The amount was there from the beginning.
