Hi All. Quick question - Can you still get 30 day extensions if in Thailand on a 90 day single entry non o, or are only the long term marriage/retirement extensions the only option?

Hey everyone, I have submitted my DTV visa application, and gotten a request for additional documents. Most of the documents were easy to get, however they are asking for payslips from April, March and May.

My contract shows that I started working 1st of May, meaning I obviously only have 1 month payslip to show. They're essentially asking for payslips from my company from before I actually started working.

However, I have an extra written letter from my company CEO showing the duration of my contract, and the amount I will be getting paid in the coming months + showing that I can indeed work remotely etc.

Any thoughts on this being sufficient... or am I screwed? 😎

MY Visa has been confirmed and sent. Unfortunately, the date is not correct - my visa runs from the day of approval... Nobody answers the phone at the embassy in Frankfurt. Has anyone had similar experiences and knows how to contact the colleagues?

Regarding bank accounts, has anyone used a Revolut to prove funds for application? I do bank with santander but have savings in the Revolut

I just want the application as easy as possible and obviously not to be rejected

Good Morning, Im arriving in Thailand this week on my first Non O visa based on Retirement from the embassy in London, im a British passport holder.

I feel I have good understanding of the procedure like going to my local IO and finding out the local requirements (Surat Thani in this case) financial requirements, opening a bank account and seasoning the money Etc in regards to my extension of stay.

My question is regarding other paperwork, TDAC ill keep and print off, the initial TM30 thats my air bnb owners resposibilty but after that I have a house rented and a lease in place, my understanding is the landlady will have to do the first one then I could do them after that online or in person, what about going fwd ? everytime I travel internally in Thailand do i need to fill out a TM 30 at everywhere stay? And is there anything else im missing? Thank you in advance to this excellent group.
