Hello, I'm about to get non o visa based marriage. As I understand I will get single entry visa and when I arrive Thailand I can make re entry visa?

After that, before the 90 days expired, I can apply for 1 year visa. The problem I only stay around 14 days every 2 Month. So how I can apply for 1 year marriage visa if I cannot wait until the visa will expire? I understand I can only go to extend around 30 the visa expired.

Just a question…

I am currently on a “marriage visa”. Some day it will be up for renewal. I do some voluntary work here and there, all legit.

If I convert my extension to “retirement visa”, will I still (legally!) be able to get a volunteer permit?

Hellooo friends! I have a question about the DTV and especially about which embassy to choose. I've missed my deadline to transfer the 500k to a bank account, at least if I want to show 3 months of maintaining it. I've now heard that some people had success with certain embassies while only providing proof of only a single month.

All the other requirements are easy for me to produce, it's just this one. So, anyone that has gotten the DTV with just one month of bank statements and which embassy? I guess I would prefer ones in Germany.

I applied for the DTV with NY Consulate. I am currently pending approval. I was invited to a wedding of friends in Africa and the dates are 9/10-9/17. Am I able to travel to Africa while my visa application is still pending? I will only be gone for 1 week but I am concerned about it impacting my approval.

Hello,

I am planning to apply for the DTV (Expats type) in Vietnam and am currently preparing my bank account to meet the financial requirement.

Previously, I applied through an agent in Laos, but the documents submitted were not strong enough, so I had to cancel the application. Since then, I have been preparing stronger documents and this time I would like to apply on my own.

I have a few questions:

1. For the financial requirement of 500,000 baht, does the full amount need to be in my account for the last three months, or is it acceptable if the amount has accumulated over time?

2. Since I cancelled my application in Laos, can I reapply in the same country with improved documents, or would I need to apply in another country? Is Vietnam a good choice?

Thank you very much in advance.

This group really supported me in my application which has now been approved, so thought I would share my experience incase it can help others.

Background- been in Thailand for about a year and a half on tourist visas. I travel on 2 passports, British and Irish.

Applied under workcation to HCMC, after 3 working days it got cancelled due to wrong date of issue in passport. I applied again the following day uploading the same documents, 2 working days I got asked for the folllowing:

Other request documents: Please provide a business registration document showing the company name, the name of the legal representative, and a company profile that includes details about its history, vision, mission, products, and achievements. -

I had already given this, I am a freelancer but have had the same one client for a year, so I gave their certificate registering at companies house as well as confirmation that I have registered as a sole trader, along with websites, LinkedIn etc.

Other request documents: examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications, etc.-

again had submitted this, but due to sensitive information had to block a lot of info out. I then submitted meeting minutes along with letter templates and CV.

Document indicating current location: Please provide the latest copy of your full passport, including all pages (even the empty ones). If you have a Temporary Resident Card (TRC), kindly submit it along with the passport. The photos must show the date and time they were taken.-

I uploaded all pages of both passports and also added my hotel booking and a selfie outside the hotel with date and time.

After submitting it was another 3.5 working days and then I got approved 🙂
