Hopefully this helps!

Applying for DTV online with London Embassy and the form asks for departure date and iintended length of stay?

Won't allow me to leave it blank?

This isn't a visa question but what are the different ways to fund a K-bank account? I know cash deposits work, but what other options are available?

Hello,

My son lives in Thailand First at a tourist visa, but that has now expired and he is back in the Nederlands.

In May we applied for the DTV visa at the Thai embassy throygh a visa agency in the Nederlands.

It was rejected because he still had a visa (while the embassy had said before that this was not a problem)

We are now going to request it again.

Can anyone advise me on whether i should have it done by an agency again? And if so by a dutch or thai agency

And what is easier as a freelancer or through muay thai

Because i read that you can register through an immigration service and then you will receive all the required paperworks

I hope you can advise us so that the application goes well this time

Because he wants to go back tho Thailand as soon as possible with a visa

I have had £12,000 gbp in my savings account since July 10th.

Is this sufficient to apply for the DTV in September in terms of time frame and amount please.

How much for the muay thai gym

Hello, regarding the 15k usd / 500k baht, what are the seasoning rules? Can I just put the money in my daughters account for one month then she use it to show she has the funds?

Hi all. I am not sure what is the latest one can submit a 90 day application on line. Is it 7 or 10 days before due date. If 7 days and due date is 1st September is today the last day to apply. Thanks for your help

Hi all... asking for a friend: Their Non Imm retirement visa with multiple re-entry is expiring in a little less than 90 days. Is it too late to deposit 800K himself? (agent provided previously). If too late to do himself, can any one recommend an agent charging "reasonable" price to handle renewal and 800K in BKK? Pattaya or Chiang Mai are possible if necessary or if significantly less expensive.? Thanks for any helpful info!
