Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone has anyone come across this before and is there a way around it?

I’ve got a return flight booked with Etihad to Phuket from the Uk for 81 days. I know the visa is 60 days on arrival but I was going to do a visa extension whilst there. To cover me for the 81 days.

I’ve gone to check in online with Etihad and they want visa information. Which I don’t have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We fly tomorrow evening.

What’s the best thing to do now?

Cheers ✈️

Hey everyone, I’m currently in Thailand and just got a remote job with an Australian company (starting Monday). I want to apply for the DTV visa, but I’m not sure if my work contract alone is enough or if I need to have been employed for longer. Also, does anyone know which nearby country is best to apply from?

Would appreciate any insights—thanks! 🙏

For those curious about re-entry on DTV - I came through BKK, had my printed Evisa, the only question asked was if this was my first time returning on the visa. Quick and easy! Props to 🇹🇭 for the best visa in SEA.

Hi, I was thinking of getting the Muay Thai Tiger eye for DTV visa , just wondering if they are great or is there someone that has a bad experience?

Need help please… want to move to Thailand but do we apply for the retirement visa in USA or do we have to move to Thailand to apply? Any help advise would be appreciated 🙏

US citizen. Hoping to go on an OA visa in December.

A few questions (again) after using search here and some google/web.

1. Any opinions on State Department Federal Credit Union and the ACA group that is the path to getting accounts there? Supposedly they are good with foreign addresses, and also web/ip platforms for MFA. Issue is I don't see a lot of current reviews, or mentions in the expat groups.

2. Maintaining US credit cards as an expat. Not expecting a tutorial here but any links to good info or first hand success in keeping them open?

3. Why don't we see any info on Gentleman Girls, only Lady Boys? (OK disregard this one).

Any help appreciated.

UPDATE: I successfully got the Visa in Hanoi.

Will it have any problems if my salary is only 350€ net? I work part time.

Should I state in my cover letter that I have more savings and investments that I live of or does that unneccesarily complicate it?

I have more than the 500k THB in the bank account I will show them, its closer to 1.500k THB for some years already. Plus an stock broker account with 3.500k TBH in cash, but I wouldn't show that because it's not a bank account.

Should I provide them with documents like payslips, business registration of my employer, rental contract for thailand without them asking for it in the application? I read that many people are getting asked for those documents and I want to speed up the process as much as possible.

I will be applying in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Are there any Indians here who have applied for DTV Soft Power from Jakarta? I'm planning to apply from Jakarta in the 1st week of April. How was your experience? Did they ask for "detail on sources of income"? Did you have 500k THB in your account for more than 3 months?

For context, my previous visa application was cancelled by New Delhi Embassy after additional documentation request about "sources of income" thing. I got no response to my calls and emails asking for the reason for cancellation. Unfortunately, I couldn't visit the embassy in person. ([members only]/)

I have been maintaining over 600k THB balance in my Indian bank account since March 6 and applying for DTV Soft Power with Muay Thai classes. Thanks to my stupidity, balance dipped just under 500k on March 5th because of auto-pay and currency fluctuations. I'm currently in Thailand and will be flying to Jakarta in April. I'd love to be back in Thailand before May with DTV.

Hello,

My girlfriend would like to stay in Thailand for more than a year.

The DTV visa seems to be the most suitable option.

Which “soft power” schools are the most accepted by the French embassy?

Ideally focused on cooking, but Thai boxing could also be an option.

While searching in the group, I found that the Discover Thai Nature seminar was rejected by Paris 😕

Has anyone here been approved for a DTV visa from France for a festival or a medical appointment?
