A saw a post saying the 90 day window for reporting had been reduced from 14 days to 7. None of the official sites reflect this and I've not seen any other reports, can anyone whos reported recently confirm the change?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa as an American selling on Amazon and eBay. I run the business under my own name (sole proprietor), filing taxes in my name with a Schedule C (profit & loss form for a business).

I’ll be applying electronically through the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Does anyone know if Amazon and eBay stores screenshots (that show my name) are accepted as sufficient proof of a business? Or do they usually require additional documents like W9 from Amazon, bank deposit records from Amazon or IRS tax filings?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience or who’s gone through this process. Thanks in advance!

If your passport expires in 8 months, can you get a 12-month visa (retirement extension) and have the last 4 months be valid on the new passport, or will they only issue the visa up to the expiration date of your passport?

Logically it seems like the latter, but if anyone has direct experience I'd love to hear about it.

Can I get a retirement visa and spend more time in Australia and work until I get our home built then retire in about two years over there and how often do I need to return and would it be easier to find a agent to help me with everything like bank account and phone number and driving licence and stuff like that

Not really visa related but maybe someone could share some advice. I have had a notification from Google that they will change my country associated with my account (including emails) from the uk to Thailand. Does this really have any dramatic effect to anything? I still use a lot of uk services especially financial? . I have the option to submit a request to change region back to the uk but I don’t know 1) if I really need to and 2) whether it would be accepted as I spend most of the time In Thailand?

Don’t know if the right group but here goes.

This is about my Thai wife’s visa to the USA 🇺🇸.

We were married 1/12 weeks were planing to visit the USA 🇺🇸 in two years from marriage. From what I read that’s the magic number needed ( 2 years ) for a visa to be granted.

The question is I have a good friend that has lung cancer. I doubt if she will make it to our two years anniversary.

Is it possible to get her a visa with a doctors letter to visit my friend?

Is a different city more lenient ?

I’m good Non O with reentry permit.

Just wondered if someone here had a similar situation.

Thanking you in advance

Do you have to go in person to immigration to get a yearly extension on a non O / OA or can an agent do it for you? I suppose they need your passport but i have a workschedule of six weeks on six weeks off, how can i get around the only 30 or maybe 45 days before expiration to apply?

As a remote worker i could go for the DTV and not have this problem but there is no certainty that it won't get discontinued or that it can get extended after five years

I am currently applying for a DTV (Freelance Visa) from the U.K.

I have bought a flight and entered the date and flight details, now I must add an "intended date of departure"

-It is a five year visa that I am applying for, so should I put in a date five years from my initial arrival?

Or should I enter a date that is within 180 days or my arrival?

It is a bit unclear.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly.

Has anyone done a border run to Laos from Pattaya for a new DTV stamp? Also open to trusted agencies in Bangkok.

Had a wild ride on my last flight out and want to try a border run. Any suggestions for fair agencies, that don’t overcharge for DTV, would be appreciated. Fine with sightseeing in Laos for a couple days.

Please, no miserable commenters. You’re in Thailand. Cheer up!
