Please forgive my ignorance but I notice a lot of these posts are regarding applications from embassies in countries. Is this a necessary step? I envisaged this could all be done remotely online without the need to physically go to an embassy. Apologies again if the answer is obvious and I just got confused.

What does everyone’s plan on this visa if they have a coup here? And don’t say it can’t happen it has.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been in this group for a while but still haven’t found a clear answer to this question: *What should we write in the “passport place of issue” field?*

Some people say we must write exactly what’s written in the passport, while others say just write the country. I’m really confused.

In my case, the place of issue in my passport is a string of numbers and letters in Russian. Even if I try to copy them, the application doesn’t allow Cyrillic characters, so it won’t match what’s written in the document anyway.

If you’ve applied recently, could you please clarify what you wrote in this field? Thank you so much in advance!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well. I’d really appreciate any help or recent info on this.

My wife currently has a valid Non-B visa and a work permit in Thailand. I’m her husband, and I’m currently in Thailand on a tourist stamp.

Has anyone recently applied for a Non-O visa (as the spouse of a work permit holder) if both partners are foreigners?

From what I know, applications used to go through thaivisavientiane.com, but the site is no longer working.

I’ve tried to understand how the process works now, and here’s what I found:

1. You travel to Laos (for example, via Udon Thani and the Friendship Bridge).

2. You apply for the visa online at thaievisa.go.th, uploading all required documents.

3. Then you go to the embassy and pay the visa fee — 2,000 baht.

4. After a few days, you receive the visa by email and can re-enter Thailand.

Is this process still accurate, or have things changed? Can you still go to the embassy in person, or is everything only handled online now?

Also, how long does it take? Some sources say 1–2 days, others mention up to 10–14 days.

Thank you very much in advance for any advice or recent experience! 🙏

Hello,

Can I do the 90 day report and get a Resident Certificate while I’m there? (Bangkok)

I want to buy a car and pretty sure I need Res Cert to change it into my name.

Hi, ChatGPT says that income from remote work from Thailand for foreign clients has to be fully taxed in Thailand (no matter if remitted or not). Is it true?

Best Muay Thai / Boxing school for DTV in Bangkok?

Edited: Thanks all for your sharing your experience. The entry went well for me too and was not for the returns ticketed:)

I’m flying to Ho Chi Min for DTV application. I haven’t bought the returned ticket to Thailand as I want to buy it after my visa has been granted.

Would there be any issue at the immigration (Ho Chi Min?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Question for dtv visa with spouse.

Will I need to show 1mil baht on the statements? The bank accounts are joint.

I have my own business but and wife doesn’t technically have any income.

Should she just submit her own and use the joint statements?

Do I sponsor her?

Any help is appreciated!

Attention:

Immigration holidays for July:

ALL immigration offices in thailand will be closed the following days

Thursday 10th July

Friday 11th July

If your stamp expires on a day the immigration office is closed (weekends or holidays) and you go the very next day they're open you can get your extension like normal and will not be charged for overstay. But expect long lines.
