If I entered Thailand 6 months ago Visa exempt and then got a tourist visa extension to stay an extra month. Would I encounter doing the same again in September? I hear it's at the discretion of the immigration officer. Your opinions will be greatly appreciated

Hi.

I'm describing my experience applying for a DTV visa in Poland.

I submitted my application on July 17th, and they asked for additional documents on July 18th, which were completed on July 21st, and approved on July 22nd. Family visas were approved within 4 hours of submitting the application.

I recommend the Thai Embassy in Poland 🤗

Documents for the main application: passport (all pages),

current photo,

employment certificate with position and scope of remote work responsibilities,

employment contract,

Polish ID card,

and three-month bank statement with the final balance.

For family members: the same, plus children's birth certificates, marriage certificate, and sponsorship letters.

I recommend applying in your home country.

I've been coming to Thailand for 2 or 3 weeks holiday each year for more than 20 years - I run my own business back in Australia so always need to work a few hours each day when I'm here. I have downsized my business significantly so it can be managed remotely and now only work up to 10 hours per week. I intend spending much more time in Thailand in the coming years so am looking at DTV. With showing 500kTHB is it acceptable to show that (more than) in share holdings or does it have to be a bank account?

Also, is it OK to have a combination of income and bank account similar to what can be done with retirement visa? Thanks all for any advice.

Good day. If this question is not for this group, please forgive me and skip...

I made a mistake with booking my flight, and now I will have an 1 day overstay. What will be the best way to resolve this error?

Hello. I wonder if you could offer me some guidance please. I am a UK passport holder currently in Australia until the beginning of September. I want to appy for a 6 month multiple entry visa for Thailand, if that's possible, to visit family. My passport is valid until 2032. When I googled the requirements it said I need an itinerary and to show evidence of a return flight. I'm not exactly sure where I plan to go to after Thailand at this moment in time as I'm recently retired and enjoying the freedom of choosing where to visit/live. Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

We're here until October on a tourist visa will then complete DTV in australia before returning.

How have others transitioned their travel insurance? Do we need to cancel our normal policy and transition to expat insurance?

For context we are 31 and 32 with a 2.5 year old.

We've got a 12 month lease and car here. From australia.

Report on my trip to CW yesterday to apply for my second stay extension based on marriage to a Thai citizen.

Two weeks prior my wife went to Huay Kwang District office to obtain an updated copy of our marriage certificate ( KR2). Easy to do. She just had to show her ID card and a copy of our original certificate. And pay 20 baht per copy of course.

Went to Bangkok Bank in the morning before going to CW for my 2pm appointment. No problem to obtain the bank letter or statement. Didn’t have to fill out any forms committing to keep funds in my account for any period of time. I had kept a balance over 400k for more than 4 months prior anyway but it wasn’t mentioned.

Went to CW for 2pm appointment and was finished and out of the door by 3pm. Went like clockwork. All discussions were between my wife and the IO in Thai and the IO only comment to me was to recommend that I get a new passport before applying next year as my passport expires next September. Back in 21 days to get the extension inked in. Note that IO did not ask for the updated KR2. At the end of the process she took a photo of my wife and I jointly holding up a sign in Thai that my wife said it stated in Thai that we are married so that may have been the necessary confirmation that we are still married. IO stated that my wife could come alone on 15 August to get my extension inked in ( having observed that my mobility isn’t good) but confirmed that I would have to attend in person if I wanted to apply for a RE permit. She suggested that I apply for the RE permit at the airport when I leave which sounds like a plan to me.

In conclusion meticulous preparation paid off and I am attaching my homemade check list in case it helps others. Note for the family photos I provided 6 photos printed 2 per page directly onto glossy photo paper with captions below and she was quite happy with them.

If I am planning to stay for 5 months do I need to have all 5 months accommodation booked or would just having 1 month be okay ?

Can you attend the Pattaya Cooking School and received the documents needed for the DTV application process?

Hi! I’m a digital nomad from Europe currently in Colombia. I will leave soon for Mexico, where I plan to stay a few months. Then I’d like to visit Asia and I’d like to apply for the dtv visa. Do you think it’s better to apply meanwhile I’m in Mexico City, where I see there’s a Thai embassy, or maybe it’s better to fly directly to an Asian country like Vietnam or Philippines, and apply and wait there? I think I meet all the requirements but I also see people getting denied with no reason and I don’t want to risk to fly to Asia and then fail the application. On the other side I don’t know how Mexico manage visas (bureaucracy is a mess). Has anyone applied in Mexico City? What would you suggest? I appreciate any advise. Thanks
