Is there any chance you could get approval of DTV-Dependant Visa on a Saturday or Sunday? My status at the moment is "pending arroval" after they asked for additional documents yesterday. I applied through Thai Embassy, Jakarta.

Hey all, does anyone know how many days prior to expiry we can apply for a visa extension at Immigration? (I've read 45 or 30 days, I'm not sure what to go with)

FYI!!

Please make sure to fill out the TDAC form before entering Thailand.

Today (May 2) at Suvarnabhumi, they only asked me to show the passport and TDAC—nothing else was questioned. All they said was "Oh you hold DTV. Enjoy and don't forget to fill TDAC next time too."

If you haven’t filled it out online before reaching immigration, they’ll ask you to do it first. Quite a lot of people hadn’t completed the TDAC form. It seems like the line at the TDAC filling area is even longer than at immigration.

Is there a time frame that you have to arrive in Thailand after having DTV granted?

And how close to the 6 months in and out do you have to be? As in can you leave for a while at 4 months and then re-enter.? I was hoping to avoid the burning season

To those who got their passport abroad, what did you type in "place of issue"? My passport doesn't have this field so I'm struggling because of the posts of several people who got their application cancelled because they filled in the country where the passport was issued. My passport has the voice "Authority". Should I type in what it's written there? I mailed the embassy which replied me "Fill in the form in full accordance with the information in your passport". Please only replies from those who have already applied in a situation similar to mine. Thanks

I'm Belgian and I live in Belgium. Because I often go to my girlfriend in Thailand, I want to apply for a visa OA. Where can I best apply for this type of visa.

Should I get health insurance in Thailand, or is a Belgian health insurance good too?

Can I open bank account in Thailand if I get my visa?

What should I do if I return to Belgium after, for example, 5 months? Should I share that somewhere?

Who can advise me about my case? Thank you in advance.

-------------

Ik ben Belg en woon in België. Omdat ik dikwijls naar mijn vriendin in Thailand ga, wil ik een visum OA aanvragen. Waar vraag ik dit type visum het beste aan.

Moet ik een ziekteverzekering in Thailand aangaan, of is een Belgische ziekteverzekering ook goed?

Kan ik een bankrekening openen in Thailand als ik mijn visum heb?

Wat moet ik doen als ik na bijvoorbeeld 5 maanden even terugkeer naar België? Moet ik dat ergens doorgeven?

Wie kan me raad geven omtrent mijn geval? Alvast dank u wel.

Does anyone know how to resize their photos to match the DTV requirements? I'm beating my head against a wall and maybe for no reason lol. I had a passport photo taken and I'm trying to size it in a word document to what I THINK they want. Anyone know the required size and the best way to size a scanned pic? Thank you!!
