Hello, I'm German and I'm staying in Thailand as a tourist for another week. They want that. 2 weeks I instructed an agency to apply for a DTV visa for me. Can there be problems because I'm not in Germany?

Hallo ich bin Deutscher und befinde mich noch eine Woche als Tourist in Thailand . Vor ca. 2 Wochen beauftragte ich eine Agentur für mich ein DTV Visum zu beantragen. Kann es Probleme geben, weil ich nicht in Deutschland bin?

Good day! I am here on a multi entry visa and my time to exit (60 days)and return is upon me. Is it advisable to use a company that takes you across border and back same day to get new visa stamp or take a flight out and return? What is the difference and is one option better than the other? Thanks in advance for any help in clearing this up!

Has anyone extended dtv visa in Chiang Mai. Just wondering if it's simple or easier to just do border run

Currently in Vietnam and applied for remote work. I included the employment agreement and a letter from the company owner. They requested docs about the business (I added the registration and a copy of the website), my duties/employment history (I added that and my CV), but also they requested pay slips for 6 months

I haven't started work yet, which was included in the employment agreement (the start date is next week). Has anyone applied for a job they haven't been working at for six months? How can one sent pay slips if they haven't received any yet?

Thanks!

For those in Phuket with a DTV looking to open a bank account, I successfully opened one at TTB, Robinson Lifestyle Thalang in just two days.

Documents I provided:

1. Passport

2. DTV

3. Driving license (from my home country) with the exact same name as in my passport

4. Cover letter from my Muay Thai gym (the same one used for my DTV application)

5. Lease agreement for my accommodation (signed by both my landlord and me)

6. A signed copy of my landlord’s ID

7. Certificate of residence from the immigration office (I got mine from Blue Tree)

Be prepared for them to keep some or all original copies of the documents. I specifically requested my original Certificate of Residence back since it may be needed for other purposes.

The process took two days. The bank wasn’t busy, but the account opening counter was slow. Their system didn’t allow DTV holders to open an account, so they had to send my application to the Bangkok main office for approval. The next morning, I got a call from the bank, went back to sign a few more forms, and walked out with my passbook, debit card, and mobile banking set up—now I can use PromptPay.

P.S. I visited every bank in Central, and all of them said no.

Looking to extend my dtv visa in Chiang Mai. Has anyone been approved? I went soft power route, what documents are needed and will dental work appointments be fine?

First entry with DTV visa

Suvarnabhumi

presented my passport and DTV visa. immigration officer looked frustrated/angry and called a superior over and i was taken to the interrogation area.

Waited around an hour in the interrogation area with about 50 other people until my name was called, sat down and the officer said "oooh DTV visa very nice, I dont know why you pulled over here, the officer must have been confused, enjoy your stay" .. no other questions asked.

weird and inconvenient

Soft power courses recently approved in Vietnam? (HMC) 🙏

Exact course and length

I remember reading in the past people were refused an elite visa after getting an education visa. I guess the DTV is still too new to know if anyone has had issues getting an elite visa after getting a DTV visa?
