Hi all!

This group has been very helpful, so thank you for all the advice.

One (pretty dumb) question for Americans...on the DTV application under the "Place of Issue" field for passport, I simply wrote "USA".

I am seeing that maybe I should have put "UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF STATE".

Does anyone who got approved have any info on this?

Thank you!

DTV approved. Applied June 30, approved July 8. US citizen and applied online via LA consulate while in Colorado. Applied for workcation as self-employed. Another friend said it took him also 8 days. Thought I messed up by putting 5 years on how long my stay would be, didn't seem to matter.

Was asked for additional documents July 7: business registration, letter of employment, portfolio, and tax return. Sent docs and was approved within minutes.

Happy to assist anyone self employed wanting the workcation DTV.

I will be entering Thailand with a 90-day non-immigrant (O) retirement visa.

After entering Thailand and before the 90-day period has expired, I would like to apply for a four-month extension of my stay at the immigration office in Buriram.

Can anyone tell me what documents immigration requires?

Hi all 🙂

Me and my partner are looking and staying long time in Thailand in October we are going to be based in Krabi

We would like to come on an educational visa and learn Muay Thai

Has anyone got any recommendations on how to get started? Who to contact? Or any schools that can help the whole process for us

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you :)

Before I apply for a non O from within uk , how long does £18-19000 need to be on my uk bank for ? Is it 2 months ? Thanks

Hey everyone. I was approved for dtv workaction after 4 days in Hanoi. My wife then took an extra 4 days to get dtv as a spouse. Just a heads up, the payment portal hasn't been working the best and you might need to contact the embassy. This has been a common problem for a month apparently. Also, when we entered Chiang Mai, all of the people with a dtv were told to step to the side. It was like they had no idea what the visa was and they don't have the technology for the qr code so you have to fill out a manual form and they question you a lot. Has anyone had this experience?

What are the eligible soft power cooking shools in Chiang Mai that help you with DTV?

Please list them below: thank you!

Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locked me out concurrently. Today, I wanted to pay by QR using the Bangkok bank app, I got the notorious locked app warning message indicating name on my SIM is not matching the name on the bank account which is a huge bogus as I use this AIS number for more than 2 years and opened it myself with my passport and all info is genuine. I noticed my AIS app also kept closing when I clicked on it, apparently they also locked me out for some reason but my wireless service was uninterrupted. Bangkok Bank demanded a letter from the AIS shop to unlock the app. AIS shop said they just wanted to take my new photo and see my passport again, I quickly solved the AIS issue. But why do I have to go through this. It seems either it is so lax in Thailand that agents can get phone numbers to scammers under false IDs or every single foreigner must line up with their passports at wireless and bank counters to have their photo taken and passports validated. Always extremes.. land of .miles long queus

Simple question - I’ve come to Thailand on a 2 month tourist visa which expires Aug 1 - am wanting tk extend 30 days. If I go tomorrow (July 9) is the 30 day extension from July 9 or extended from aug1.

Has anyone applied with a British or Irish passport recently from a SE Asian country and been approved ?

I have been away from from the Uk for two years and was advised by an agent to apply from my home country due to my passports.
