I have a 90-day NON O RETIREMENT visa. If I leave the country and re-enter from a neighboring country about ten days later, can I get a 60-day tourist visa exemption?

Hello everyone. My wife and I currently live in Doha, Qatar and are looking to relocate to Hua Hin in Jan 2026. We are looking at a O-A for me ans O Visas.

We been getting mix messages to if we are required to apply online thru Thai Embassy Doha or if we can do it Thailand. The appy in Thailand appears to be more straightforward vs. thru website interms of requured documentation.

Very confusing to which ditection to go, additional to wanting to avoid issues with applying the wrong way. Thanks in advance!

DTV VISA Vietnam

No one says just how boring it is being in a place you don't want to be, staying in a hotel, awaiting your visa in Vietnam HCMC 🤣

What did y'all do for the estimated 2 weeks for your visas in ho chi Minh city. ?

Has anyone recently received a DTV visa approval in Hanoi with soft power? How many days did it take for it to be approved? I applied with soft power on the night of the 26th, but I haven't heard back yet, so I'm asking.

When I wrote the DTV, I set the departure date for Thailand as December 10th...

For business owners who applied for DTV:

Is it true that the employment contract + the company's registration have to be "authenticated by the embassy of the country where the company is located"?

I found this info in some official PDF checklist, but consulates/embassies never mention it. Wanted to know before I start the application.

hello

I received my DTV visa in November. I received my visa approval in Vientiane, Laos, in November through the Discover Thai Nature seminar program. The visa process was very quick.

I received an interview request five days after applying on the embassy website, and the visa approval email arrived three hours after my interview.

The Discover Thai Nature seminar

They gave me a lot of great advice.

And here are some tips: The interview in Vientiane, Laos, is very simple.

Why did you apply for this seminar? Why did you apply for the DTV visa? A How do you plan to cover your living expenses?

Most of the questions were basic.

One tip: When you first meet your interviewer, smile and greet them with a Thai bow. Your interviewer is a person with a Thai background, and this small gesture shows respect for their culture and will make a good impression early on in the interview.

They'll definitely love it.

For the remaining questions, I recommend practicing answering the questions already posted here on the DTV group and in Chatgpt. I'm grateful to the DTV community for sharing their experiences during my visa preparation. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I’m currently in Thailand on a DT visa, and my wife is here on a tourist visa. Can I apply for her DT visa on my behalf, or is there another way for her to get a long-term visa? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
