Can you go to Thailand while waiting for DTV approval?

I will apply in the UK before hand.

Thank you.

Useful information for 🇺🇸 applicants.

Hello, do you know any good translator from English to Thai in Bangkok ? I want to translate my passport.

Thanks Tod and Ellie for there help over the years.

My wife and I (both UK) got to Div 1 this morning at 9 am. No appointment.

But out at 10:30 all done with another year’s visas in hand. AMAZING!

Just applied for non o visa from London consulate, what is usual for processing time, thanks

After lots of reasearch and not many results I thought I would come on here and ask about the DTV visa run.

I currently have an injury in my back so want to do the most "back friendly" option to renew my dtv visa... I hear we can return same day... so Im looking for a sleeper bus really...

Does anyone know of a same day (Or travel overnight) visa run service with comfy sleeper chairs... and not the coach style chair which lean back about 30 degrees theyre really uncomfortbale too I pref want something laying down. If anyone has any options please let me know :) thanks for helping!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently in Kathmandu, Nepal, holding a Chinese passport, and planning to apply for the DTV visa here.

Has anyone here applied for a DTV visa in Nepal before?

From what I read on the Kathmandu Thai Embassy website, it seems to be the same process as in other countries (like Vietnam): using the online e-visa platform with the same set of documents.

However, I’m a bit concerned that there might be some additional requirements or local differences I’m not aware of. Could anyone kindly share your experience? Should I just follow the steps on the online e-visa platform, or is there anything else I should prepare in advance?

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

I used to be on Muay Thai edu visas in the past. Now I'm on the dtv. I'll fly out of Thailand next month for the first time on the dtv.

Do I need to do any re entry form and stamp on my passport if I have the dtv? It was the TM8 form on the old edu visa. Thanks all

Approved today in Hanoi!

I went with softpower (Muay Thai) using Wildcat Muay Thai gym in Chiang Mai.

Details:

* Applied: Aug 18th

* Approved: Aug 25th

* 3 months bank account slips provided, 500k in all 3 months

* Picture of arrival stamp + selfie outside Hanoi Airport to prove being in Vietnam

* No request for additional documents. Status went from Pending Document Check -> Pending Approval -> Approved

* Ed visa canceled before I left Thailand, just to be safe

I highly recommend Wildcat Muay Thai gym - I have been training here for a long time and the owner helped me with everything, even set up the application for me and uploaded all documents, so all I had to do was log in at the end to submit and pay the fee.

So happy! Huge relief to have a 5 year visa! 🇹🇭

Hi all,

I've just submitted my e-Visa application for a non-immigrant O (retirement) visa to the Thai Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand. They've come back to me asking for proof of

"Health insurance policy with minimum coverage of 40,000 THB/year for outpatients and 400,000 THB/year for inpatients, and covering the entire duration of the stay in Thailand."

I thought this only applied to the O-A visa?

On their website it lists under "Retirement / Pension Earners REQUIRED DOCUMENTS"

Health insurance policy with minimum coverage of 40,000 THB/year for outpatients and 400,000 THB/year for inpatients, and covering the entire duration of the applicant's stay in Thailand. For more information on health insurance for non-immigrant type "O-A" and "O" visas, please visit [[members only])

If you go to the longstay.tgia.org page it only discusses health insurance for the O-X, O-A and STV visas.

Are they wrong? Am I wrong?
