Just approved in Hanoi!

Worcation (have my own LLC, I’m stylist, have my own online-course), Russian, applied 24th Feb at 5pm.

25th morning — pending approval

2 March at 7pm — approved

No additional docs.

So basically 4 working days + weekends

I prepared:

- 6 months with 500k and more for ending balance every month

- registration docs of my LLC

- cover letter with explanation what is my work about, my mission, where i get my clients from

- screenshot from my website, from my educational platform, screenshots of homework of my students

- page in my passport with Vietnam stamp

All in 1 pdf (about 20+ pages)

What I did also:

- table with summary of ending balances with currency rates in my homeland currency and THB

- highlighted ending balances in bank statements

- several times mentioned that I’m working only online and only with Russians (so i’m not interested to work in Thai in person)

Thank you all for useful information!

Has anyone experienced this?

I just received the approved email from the Thai embassy but there is no pdf file of the e-visa in the email.

Just got rejected in Hanoi 🤣 Workation path

Provided everything they asked for, have no idea why they didn't like me :(

Maybe because I showed them 500k THB on my Thai bank account? Or that I put 500k there just 2 days before application

But the proof of income that I showed them was from my home country bank. Have all documents, etc. no idea

Will try to apply again in Jakarta LOL

Slightly niche issue… I applied for a 90 day Non-O EVisa before travelling to Thailand with my wife however the application didn’t process fast enough before our flight to Thailand.

The officer let me in on a 60 day exemption in order to change my visa once I receive confirmation of my Non-O. Work schedule and unforeseen medical issues meant I was unable to go and submit this change. I now have 1 week left on my 60 day exemption.

Am I better off extending my tourist visa for 30 days at Lak Si division 1 or going through the lengthy day long process of going to the government building and claiming the last 30 days of my Non-O?

Also something to note, I did not receive a TM-30 when entering which I know Lak Si will be strict on.

If I get my landlord to submit the TM-30 on my behalf, would they put the date of entry to the country or the start of my lease last year?

Hello,

I am currently in the middle of getting my documents together to apply for the DTV in HCMC later this week.

Question about flight number for entering Thailand. I have not booked my flight from HCMC to Bangkok because I am not sure how long the Visa will take to process. At the same time I want to go to BKK as soon as my DTV is approved.

What is the best way to navigate this?

If I don't provide one and explain why in the cover letter will this be enough?

Or do I buy a ticket and if my DTV isn't approved eat the cost of changing dates or flights?

Thank you

All advice is welcome.

Hi guys, for those that apply in Hanoi, how many times were you required to show the statement? Once or more than once?

Can I transfer the money in, show the statement and transfer the money out?

Hi, have got separate questions, that seem related but aren't - it is for different cases - basically one post for 2 queries for different people; Please note: all other requirements ( Bank, TM 30 etc) are in order. just need to know the actual practical way to do it with all documents in standing order:

#1: could someone kindly outline again the procedure for "change of status" from Visa Waiver 60 days - to Non-O (retirement) to be submitted at Chaeng Wattana (BKK) within at least 20 days from expiration from current stamp. What we've got as info is this: [members only] - Where is the actual application form on the Immigration Website? and does one need to submit a Queue Online appointment request too... [members only]/ - do we follow this?

#2: before expiration of the 90 days , what is the timeframe necessary to request the 12 months extension of stay ( Retirement) is to be done - one week / 7 working days sufficient?

Thanks much .
