Hi everyone

first thank you to this amazing group and all the help provided! im posting this as a help to people who are in the same situation as us so please dont come after me with nasty disrespectful comments please!

US citizens applied in Hanoi october 7th

my husband is a remote worker and makes good money! we provide all documents requested ( tax returns, paystub, company registration documents and letter that states he can work remote) except 500k baht! in liue of that we provided his father’s bank account along with a letter explaining he will be our emergency sponsor!

we applied in Hanoi on October 7th. on october 8th they requested proof of relationship with his dad which we uploaded his birth certificate.

approved october 15th

on October 15th we applied for me and my daughter same documents.

on October 16th they requested 3 months bank statements with 500k baht! i uploaded my father in law’s letter and bank statements. few minutes later the status changed to processing pending approval!

today we both got approved.

before we applied i emailed the embassy and explained the situation they responded you can provide sponsorship only from your immediat family. so I was sure there wont be an issue. anyway. good luck to everyone and thank you again for being so helpful

I have question if anyone would know the answer I would be grateful. I have DTV and my passport is getting full, and I want to know if I need to get new passport do I need to apply for DTV again ? Or it could be linked with my new passport. Thanks

If I fly into Bangkok and get the 60 day visa and then towards the end of that go elsewhere for a week or so and then fly back in to Thailand will I get another 60 days?

After asking some questions during the past months, I think it's fair I share my experience this year. With a EU passport I arrived Thailand in May and left after 58 days for 3 weeks. In my August re entry, I received 2 more months. On October I went to the IT square immigration office and received a 1 month extension. Overall i managed to stay in Thailand for around 5 months with the visa exemption scheme. I just have good things to say about the overall process, my second entry in August ( where I feared some problems), was the smoothest possible, less than 1 minute taking a picture and figure prints, no questions asked ( a female IO). In IT square, arrived around 12.30, services were stopped for lunch but at 3.15 pm I was out with my extension, once more, no questions asked. I didn't had a past of long stays ( usually 2 months a year 1 plus 1 extension prior to 2024). But I have decided if next year I will stay as many months I will get a proper long time Visa.

Hey all

Has anyone had experience with the Sydney embassy, and whether they want to see the 500.000 baht in your account for three months, or if just having it in there for a undisclosed amount of time is ok?

Because apparently different embassies have different requirements.

Thanks.

What is visanr

Hi . Travelling to Bangkok on a non immigrant o spouse visa ( 90 days ) issued by thai embassy in Uk . What purpose of travel should I put and do I need to put a return flight date ? Tanks

Hi, I just got my DTV approved, somehow was quite stressed because I had no idea that I was required to cancel my current business visa and work permit, since I had a friend who did it that way when DTV was launched, did not think about that at all (things were probably more relaxed at the start)

I guess I was lucky they did not ask for full passport pages copies ..

Now my question is : what should I do at immigration when arriving to Thailand ? My initial plan was that I could simply stamp in with the new DTV, and then immediately proceed to cancel my work permit at my local immigration ..

Does that sound like the right thing to do ? Do I risk to get into trouble at immigration check for not canceling my business visa and work permit prior to applying for DTV ?

Thanks for any informations :)

Applying for DTV. I have enough money in my bank account but it’s currently in a fixed term savings account. Is this ok or does it strictly need to be in an account I can access whenever? Thanks
