Hello, we are a family of 4 preparing to apply for a workation DTV through the Los Angeles consulate.

My husband and I jointly own our companies together as 50/50 partners. We are both employees of the companies. It seems like when submitting the application, it needs to be from one applicant and couples are not applying jointly together.

I'm wondering how to navigate this application process.

1. I could apply first, then the rest of the family can apply and I'll sponsor them.

2. My husband and I could both send in our applications at a similar time.

What would be the pros and cons to each?

Los Angeles consulate seems to have a high rate of rejections, which is why I thought perhaps we could send in 1 application first, then the rest of the family can become dependents.

Another question is: How should we navigate the fact that the business and all of our accounts have both our names listed on them, as opposed to just my own? Will he need to write a letter or something? What should that letter say?

Thank you so much for your insight!

Hi, could someone confirm that for a new non-o retirement visa applied for within Thailand, the 800k must be transferred internationally (from another country)?

And must be on the bank account 2 months prior application?

Does someone submitted DTV in Cambodia in the middle of September? Do you get your visa?

We are waiting since 15 September. They ignore line not answer anything.

I am on a workation DTV and my Bangkok Bank account is in good standing.

I just came to their branch in CM to restore online access, and everything is fine and working, they didn't mind about my visa.

It's worth mentioning that I've had this account since 2019, opened with the help of an agent. Always on a tourist visa.

I am seeing a lot of posts here about account closures, so I can only guess that their policy is inconsistent - maybe due to different account opening years or branches / jurisdictions.

In Chiang Mai I had no problems.

Sharing my experience getting a Non-O (marriage-based) visa in Vientiane, Laos

Applied: 24 Sept

Paid at the embassy: 25 Sept (went early and the queue wasn’t long at all)

Requested for more documents: 25 Sept (had to certify a true copy of my marriage certificate with the date on it)

Visa approved: 26 Sept ✅

Overall, the process was really smooth and quick!

Hope this helps anyone planning to apply in Vientiane 🙌

Be kind in the comment. If you cannot then just keep scrolling 😉

I submitted all the required documents as stated on the E-visa website.

On the Thai E visa the name of the applicants comes as passport update info?

Hello people!

What is the process of getting Thai Driving license (for DTV)? I already have driving license in my country and international driving permit (Car + Motorcycle). I want only motorcycle permit for Thailand.

Is any Letter of Residence needed from immigration? If it is, then what is the process?

And is it possible to get the Letter of Residence without any rent contract for accommodation, for example, If I am staying in hostels (not monthly contract), will this be fine?
