Hello, I have 90d Non-O until 8. march and leaving Thailand 23. march and I'm wondering which options I have. I was on immigration and they said one year or 7 days extension. I can not provide documents for one year but not sure about 7 as I didn't ask because I need 15 days. I planed go do border bounce which is 7k and lost hard day or two so I'm now wondering about to do 7day extension and then pay for 8 days overstay on the airport which seems to be still less or equal to 7k with saved energy and time for border bounce. What do you think about that or do I have another options? Would it be ok in the Samui airport if I come with 8days ovestay?

How long does it usually take to get a dtv e-visa? And I have a teenager also. He won’t be working of course, can he tag along on a regular tourist visa? We are not staying more than 60 days. I am planning a workation during our next visit, and want to do things by the book.

Hello everybody 🤗

I have a question that I haven't seen an answer to, I might have missed it and if so I am sorry in advance ...

Can I get a Thai driving license with a DTV visa?

I had one as a teacher (it expired already), when I had a work permit, but I am not sure it is the same with DTV.

Any advice would help.

Thanks in advance 🙏

My experience going via Vietnam.

Flew into Cam Ranh and applied via Ho Chi Minh City embassy on Friday 14 Feb. I had my business registration documents, employment contract, client invoices and bank statements all put together and uploaded to the portal by the team at Settle in Abroad. (Workcation category.)

- Feb 18th: asked for additional document - a full copy of every page in my passport. Note: this is not requested in the initial application form in the portal, but my agent had warned me in advance so we had it ready to go the same day.

- Feb 21st, 12.30pm: approved.

All up 5 working days.

We did consider going via Cambodia as it seemed to be the path of least bureaucratic resistance, but Vietnam makes for a more comfortable trip IMO.

APPROVAL UK LONDON EBASSY

Hi All,

I have just received my DTV for remote working approval. This group has provided some amazing reassurance and information for my application. So please any questions pop them in.

19.02 (Wednesday) I applied to the London Embassy online.

I submitted:

* Motivation letter, saying I have visited many times and love the culture/country. I wish to visit more Thai islands.

* Fairly detailed portfolio, with evidence of work documents.

* invoices

* Driving license

* A statement of 500,000 baht, the money had only been in the account 10 days with little transactions on the account. The bank statement was also one from the bank branch with a bank manager stamp as I couldn't wait for an updated one by mail.

* Additionally a separate ISA account balance

* Proof of accommodation, and rental contract

* Linkedin profile, UpWork profile

Afternoon of the 19th request for documents:

* A letter explaining my job role and confirming that I will abide by Thai law and not work in Thailand. (My original motivation letter did include this, but I submitted another very clearly stating that I understand Thai law and the DTV working conditions)

* My recent Tax return

20th (Thursday) request for documents:

* A plane ticket to Thailand from London, United Kingdom

24th (Monday) Approved and Visa Sent by Email.

Very easy process all in all!
