I know this has been asked many times but I am uncertain….

I have Bank Account with more than baht 800.000 over the last 5 months.

I plan to be in Thailand again by end of Feb and I would like to use the visa exempt entry (subject to the answer to my question) for the 22 months extension.

Can I apply for the 12 months non-o for pensioners with the visa exempt entry or is the 90 day Non-O Visa required?

Thanks

Are there any complications on immigration, if we go by road from Vietnam to Thailand? Do we also need visa of combidia? Can we get combodia visit at a time. We have a Pakistani passport.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to switch to the Non-Immigrant O Marriage Visa soon as I am now married to a Thai citizen with a child.

I’ll be canceling my current visa, then apply for the initial 90-day visa out of the country.

Since I don’t want to be away from my wife and child for too long, I’m trying to ensure everything is prepared and that the process is as smooth as possible. I have some questions I’d love your advice on if you’ve been through this recently:

1️⃣ E-Visa Process: Has anyone recently applied for the 90-Day Non-Immigrant O Visa through the new e-visa process? Any tips?

2️⃣ Country Choice: Should I go to Vietnam, Lao, or Cambodia to apply? Which is more efficient or hassle-free? The embassy in Vientiane says about 10 to 15 days while Ho Chi Minh City says only 5.

3️⃣ Address Details: Should I list the hotel address where I’ll stay in the country I apply in, the Thai house I’m renting, or my home country address?

Should I add my Thai home or home country as a permanent address option?

4️⃣ Intended Departure Date: Should I put the date 3 months from arrival or a year out?

5️⃣ Accommodation Type: I rent a house—should I select “Guesthouse” or “Private Property”?

6️⃣ Financial Evidence: Will an online bank statement from ibanking.bangkokbank.com work? Or should I get the bank to print it out and then scan it for upload?

7️⃣ Proof of Relationship: When I was going to apply in person they asked for a copy of the Kor. 2 from the local office, so do I need that as well or just upload my child's Thai birth certificate and original Thai marriage cert.?

When applying in person, they asked for additional documents like maps, photos of us at home, and house registration. Do I need anything else like that?

Any advice, experiences, or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi Everyone.

I got my DTV visa in Phnom Penh. Applied as a remote worker.

Submitted: 7th December

Received: 23rd December

On the 10th of December, it went from document check to pending approval.

No additional information was requested.

Documents:

* Passport (Irish)

* Banking statement to show relevant funds (also included my Canadian resident card in case they were confused about why I have a Canadian bank account).

* I am self-employed so submitted a letter indicating the information about my business, website etc.. along with contracts my clients have signed.

* Boarding pass, passport stamp and hotel reservation to show my current location.

Best of luck everyone. I am so happy to have this in my hand now :)

Hi all, I will go Vietnam in a few weeks for a DTV, but I am already living in Thailand (long story), the sort one is that I am married with a Thai citizen but to be 100% legal it is more convenient the DTV than the married visa (and for more reasons as well). So, my company is in the US (I am not a US citizen), and the 500K in my personal WISE account, but the address in wise is a Thai address , should be ok?/(I also has a Thai tax number, and i pay here my tax) Or is better to move the fund for example to Revolut where the address is my British home? I am quite confuse with this. Maybe the Wise account with my Thai home address can be an inconvenient more than a benefit ?

Thanks in advance .

[Phnom Penh] What would be the solution if the visa application is still pending for approval but we are allowed to stay in Cambodia only until this Sunday?

If I apply for my DTV, will my supporting documents, such as the German company registration, need to be reviewed by a German authority before being verified by the Thai Embassy? I plan to submit my application in Ho Chi Minh, and I’ve heard the process typically takes up to seven days. However, if the German documentation requires verification first, it could take significantly longer, especially since offices in Germany are closed until January 7th due to the holidays.
