Hi everyone. Quick question for anyone that has done it this way. As I know in Dubai it was possible, but not sure in south east Asia.

Applying for a DTV the freelancer route, can my father be my sponsor and show proof of his funds in addition to my funds so it makes it to 500K? We will show his passport copy and everything that links them to me. I am over 28, so not sure this only applies to under 20s.

I am in Jomtien and am having GERD-like symptoms that persist. Can anyone recommend a reputable medical facility for DX/treatment?

What is the procedure for obtaining a residency certificate is it done at immigration or the embassy and how much does it cost. I am thinking about doing it on my own instead of using an agent. Tia

Got approved in 4 business days in Hanoi (business owner). I provided an overabundance of supporting documents including six months of bank statements and documents from my state government showing how long the companies have been in existence. It was much faster than I was expecting.

I won't leave Hanoi for a couple of weeks so no report yet on how smoothly the transition through airport immigration went.

Overall I think it is a process that doesn't come close to requiring the use of an agent.

Hey folks

For the non-O visa single entry type, can you do the single re-entry permit at the local immigration office a few days before flying out, or is that only possible at the departure airport?

Thanks

Good afternoon, helpful people. I need to convert from Non-O (trailing spouse) to Retirement visa. I transferred the 800k into my account on 27 April. I was waiting for 3 months to pass before transferring to new Retirement visa, taking me to 27 July.

A friend said to me that, when she applied for a Retirement visa the first time, that the 800k did not need to be in her account for 3 months before. But she is not sure if that is because she was on a 30-day visa exempt at the time.

There is a reason why it would be more convenient for me to change visas before 27 July.

My question is - if I am transferring from Non-O to retirement, must the 800k be in my account for 3 months before the change, or can I do it earlier?

Hi all, just looking for some clarification on the Thai E-Visa website. I'm applying for the Non-O Visa based on marriage at the Thai Consulate in Savannakhet. I am currently in Thailand.

On the E-Visa website on step 4, "Supporting Documents", it asks for "Document indicating current location".

Would this be where I upload the Laos Visa once I enter Laos? Or would this be my current Thai location, such as my TM.30?

Appreciate any guidance.

Rumors or confirmed people’s visas were revoked if they changed countries waiting for the process to finally be approved?

Thanks

I just don’t see them checking after it’s been approved

Holding a non-ED student visa. If I leave Thailand without re-entry visa, my student visa got automatically canceled. So, I won't have to go immigration to officially cancel it before applying DTV.

Correct ?
