I'm currently in Jakarta about to submit my application, but on my stay permit to my email my passport issue date is wrong. Does this matter? This was not info that I entered, rather the officer at immigration/VOA Jakarta.

I am applying in Australia online Canberra Embassy for Non O retirement visa, paid it, been almost 2 weeks and no response yet. Taking a lot longer this time. Maybe high season coming ?

Can my girlfriend (not married) get a soft-power DTV if I have 500k THB on my bank account but not on her bank account?

Has anyone obtained Thai citizenship as a stateless person? I understand one of the exceptions to obtaining citizenship accommodates stateless people.

Long story short, I am of ethnic minority group born in rural Thailand. My family fled to the US post-war. None of us have Thai citizenship nor Thai birth certificates as most stateless people. My US passport and citizenship certificate state Thailand as country of birth.

Would this be sufficient documenttion for me to apply for Thai citizenship when I relocate? Based on my limited research, the only other requirements are to declare a current Thai citizen relative living there and to be able to write my name in Thai.

Thai embassy in Los Angeles does not assist with obtaining citizenship except for those who are of actual Thai ancestry blood.

Hi all, I’m struggling with the Thai govt visa application on the payment part and sound advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve saved the document in its entirety & have tried to submit it. It’s not clear to me but is the application pending before payment or do you submit payment with the application? 🙃 the page appears “stuck”. Also I can’t find a reference number anywhere as per the page photo.

Hello to all members.

I want to apply online for the O-A visa. I have the following question. On page 4 of the online application form, it asks for the upload of supporting documents for health insurance, criminal record, bank and others. How did you proceed if you had to upload multiple documents related to a position? I can only upload one page even though I have several to upload. Thanks to everyone who replied. I also received an email from the Embassy earlier advising me to combine all 3 bank statements into one PDF.

Hi , I applied for a DTV visa through the London Embassy last week via the soft power route. The next day the embassy responded asking for my booked flight confirmation. I booked a flight dated the 31/10/25 and uploaded the confirmation to the e visa site. The next day the status of my application changed to processing pending approval. It has now been a week since the last update and the status of my application has remained the same. Do the embassy wait until it's close to your flight date before issuing the visa?

Hello and good day to everyone!

I have two quick questions:

The first one is, I currently have a DTV workation, and in 3 weeks it will be 90 days since I arrived in the country. I've heard that it needs to be declared. I am currently in Chiang Mai; is this done at the same place as the visa extension? Also, do I need to prepare anything in advance, or should I just show up with my passport, and that's enough?

The second question: Once I leave the country and decide to come back, do I still need to prove I have 500k baht in my bank account, or is there no more check?

Thank you so much in advance for your answers! :)

Wooo celebration time. Finally got my final stamp for marriage visa. During our home visit they mentioned a 2nd home visit. But at immigration today, none of it was mentioned.

BUT

After driving back up to our area, 1.5 hours, to check on our build. Immigration pulls up to check on our build site and workers haha. They were all very chill though.

Hi all,

I have 500,000 baht accumulatively in my bank accounts. They are distributed into different savings accounts. Will the embassy accept this? Or do I have to consolidate all of my savings into a single bank account?

These are all savings acounts, meaning the money can be withdrawn at any time.
