Am I correct in thinking if it's a thai public holiday 5th December and 10th December that means all Thai embassy are closed?

Sat on pending approval and my friend just got approved at 5pm but I submitted additional documents couple hours after was hoping he boxed off this week but just seen about public holidays

Dtv -> freelancer

Seems like a super smooth process and didn’t got asked anything besides the things on the Thai Embassy website

They do require 6 months statements but it’s fine if the money was there for 3 months although I’m not sure if they only want final balance above 500k+ or 3 months 500k+

As I didn’t find to much information in the group about applying there wanted to share my experience.

It seems like it’s a very good embassy and goes super quick they told me 2 working days (additional documents will reset this)

Got mine in 3

DTV Approved!

Applied at The Royal Thai Embassy, Delhi.

Thank you to the Embassy and Grateful to this group🙏🏻.

Anyone else been waiting for a long time in Hanoi. I was told many applicants got approvals within 5 〜8working days in Hanoi. But it seems it may take longer than that. The wait is killing me

Hello, im planning to apply for a dtv visa in delhi and am being sponsored by my father for the same

I will attach his 6 month bank statement, 3 ITR, sponsorship letter and other documents for the same with all my documents and a invitation from the gym im going to for the soft power activities.

Is that enough and do i still require a employment contract if im sponsored and have a gym invitation.

Hello, has someone of this group managed to get a TIN (tax identification number) from Koh Phangan and can share the process? Thanks

Trying to complete the TDAC online form....

We arrive Monday so I assume I cannot complete until 72 hours before hence Friday afternoon..... The arrival data I guess is 'greyed out' until within this period?

Hi everyone. I have a serious problem. I have family in Thailand — my child and my partner. We’re not married, and I need to get parental rights through a Thai court, so we hired a lawyer. When my exemption stay ended, I left for Vietnam for 45 days and then flew back to DMK a few days ago.

What happened there was shocking. Many people were denied entry. I had all documents — a letter from my lawyer, invitation from my partner’s family, Thai bank statement, my child’s birth certificate — but they didn’t look at anything. They just said I “can’t enter for the third time,” took my passport, and put me in the detention room for the night. The conditions were terrible.

The main issue: they didn’t put any stamp in my passport. No denied entry, nothing. The next day, after returning to Vietnam, I applied for a tourist visa with all documents and clearly stated that I want to visit my family for the holidays. The next day I got a simple “your visa application has been rejected.” No explanation. Embassy and e-visa center won’t tell us anything.

Now I don’t know what to do. I’m planning to fly to Vientiane, try to enter by land, and if they refuse me again, I want to apply for a Non-O visa at the Thai embassy there. But I’ve already lost so much money that I’m afraid of another rejection.

If anyone has experience with this situation, please share advice. I just want to be with my family for Christmas. Thank you.

Hey. I’ve got a question. I’m going to Laos and I need to buy a visa. After that, about two weeks later, I want to cross into Thailand at the land border in Vientiane. From what I’ve read, Thailand has been refusing entry more often lately. My question is: if Thailand refuses to let me in, will I have to buy another Lao visa?
