Further update regarding bank account. I have had an account with Bangkok bank for 3 years no problem....until 3 days ago. Logged in for online banking only to see account suspended...phone number and name don't match. Go into the bank to sort out, and to make it worse I couldn't find my bank book. I needed a receipt from the phone company to prove name and number belong to me and bank book...got neither !!

Anyway, bank staff very helpful and cooperative...cost 100 baht and we will make up new bank book...whilst we do that, go to AIS shop and change phone number in my name and get receipt. Did that , went back to the bank, signed a rain forest load of paper and job was done. ..and new bank book. Told it would be 7 days before reinstated....pleaded I need sooner because of bills to be paid, and 5 hours later back online. Brilliant service and relatively straightforward. Just saying....

Which of you applied in vientiane, laos? im here, made application on friday and due to go and pay the embassy tomorrow. Just curious to hear any experiences that may assist me with this process or possibly put my expectations at ease lol.

Have provided proof of everything they ask for so hoping i either just get accepted or get an interview to fill in any blanks if they need more.

Thank you all, youve been very helpful so far with this process. 🙏 I hope you are all successful with your applications also and wish you the best of luck and energy.

They may resume working on monday, 14th July. I would like to know whether the bank statement that i submitted to embassy was the date 8th july is still valid or not?

Will soon apply for the DTV.

My understanding is that I have to apply first and get approved. Then I have to submit separately for my son.

Is it typically a shorter review for kids?

Has anyone had their child not get approved?

Hi, I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa from an Asian country, and I’d like to know if my child also needs to be physically present in the same country to obtain the visa after my application is approved. Alternatively, can he be in a different country, and I apply for his visa online once mine is approved?

Hello,

My mom who’s on tourist visa (60 days) wants to extend her stay for another 30 days. We are currently in Samut Sakhon. Is it possible for her to extend in Samut Sakhon Immigration? We just moved to the province so we’re not familiar with the rules/procedure.

Thanks!

With a retirement visa what are the tax implications for sending money to your thai bank account?

And is there a time factor involved that influences tax.

Also....is there a minimum amount of time i have to be in Thailand while I have a retirement visa?
