Hi everyone!

Has anyone had experience with this?

Would it be okay if I apply for a visa now and my husband applies as my dependent after we get married?

Hello, my dtv application needs further documents but I don't understand everything.

1. *"Documents without an English version is recommended to be translated at an official translation office in Vietnam. A financial statement is required, including bank transactions from the last 6 months and an account balance of at least 500,000 BHT." *I gave them my bank history for the past 3 months issued from my bank website, and over 500.000 THB and not in english. Is the problem only that they want 6 months now ?

2. *"Please provide details about your current work, including (1) your CV or portfolio, and (2) examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."* I am a video editor, how do I prove that ? I have a youtube playlist with all my videos but how is that a proof of anything ? Can I ask my main client a letter ? What does it have to contain ?

3. *"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 gave them the only document I can find on Urssaf (for french), which is my certificate of affiliation, including my full name, which is the name of my society.

4. *"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."* What do they mean by that ? There is 30 pages in a passport. They just mean the first ones until there is no more stamps right ? How can I show the time my photo was taken ? They can just use metadata...

Can I add the 500k baht to my American bank account a week before applying for DTV in Hanoi?

I’ll be in Hanoi on July 7 and want to apply while there, but nervous about being rejected if the money is not seasoned. Would love to hear experiences like mine.

For reference I am going the soft power route (6 month cooking class).

Hello Group, I am here on a Non-O based on marriage, also have a Thai child and arrived April 7th, 2025. Unfortunately I didn't get the 400K deposited into my Bangkok Bank until April 29th. Fast forward to June 19 and had a medical emergency ( heart attack ), which caused me to dip into the 400k, bringing it down to around 100K. I am stamped 90 day until July 6th. I am guessing that this will be an issue at IO. I was planning on refilling my Thai bank account back up to 400K+, but wanted to consult the group first. Do I really have to start this whole process again? I am also hoping IO will take into consideration the medical situation and extend my initial 90 day, allowing me to stay and season the 400K. Will consider agent at this point. Please help!

Is this directive from 2023 still in effect, or is this purely up to the immigration officer at the airport? I called immigration in Thailand today and they informed me they are not sure what this directive is. With the introduction of TDAC I wanted to know how this applies.

My visa is up at the end of July so I was looking into extending my 180 days but it seems from all the fb groups and reddit its pretty painful and almost like trying to reapply again with all the updated paperwork. So I think people are just opting to leave Thailand and come back again which seems like an easier choice but a bit more expensive. Has anyone done the DTV visa run from Koh Samui to Singapore yet? Every time I go to Samui I just walk off the plane I have never seen the Visa entry area? lol
