I am renting in lower Sukhumvit, seeking “Extension of Visa”. Is there a satellite Immigration office nearby? If not, where is the closest Thai Immigration Office to be found? Thanks for helping steer me.

Hello everyone

Please don't roast me 🥹

My flight is scheduled for 24th December but I applied for my single entry visa to Thailand on 13th Dec(Friday) and made the visa fee payment successfully. My application has been on processing pending document check(1) since then.

I am feeling nervous about it 😓

Hi everyone,

I’m from the UK but currently in Bangkok, Thailand, and I’m looking to apply for the 5-year DTV visa. I understand that I need to leave the country to complete the application. Could anyone recommend the best nearby country where I can get my application approved in the shortest amount of time?

Additionally, do I need to physically visit a Thai embassy to complete the application, or is there an option to apply online? I already have all the required documentation, including proof of 500,000 THB in funds.

Thanks in advance for your advice in advance!

Hello, I recently joined this community and am considering the DTV for my move next year. I am still unclear about the financial aspects. Do I need to have $15,000 in savings or earn $2,000 per month from a job, or are both required for approval of the DTV?

Was issued a my DTV a few days ago and just wanted to update the group as I found a lot of the info on here helpful. So hopefully my experience might help others when applying.

Applied for the visa at the thai embassy in London on 8th of Dec (Sunday morning). Went with workcation visa based on remote work. Submitted the usual docs. Passport, photo, used driving licence for proof of location, bank statement with 500k thb (statement dates from start of Dec to the 6th), and a letter from my employer confirming that they were happy for me to work remotely and they support my application.

On Monday they asked for additional docs. They wanted a better copy of my passport and photo. Plus a copy of my work contract and an e-ticket showing my name and departure dates from the UK. My work provided a temporary flight reservation but never confirmed the booking, which I thought might be an issue and I supplied the rest.

On Thursday afternoon I received my 5 year visa.

Does anyone have experience with or know of any embassy rejecting a DTV application due to low income as a remote worker? I have a bank balance exceeding 500,000 THB and a part-time contract. As far as I know, this visa's approval does not depend on income, but I’m concerned that the embassy might focus on the low salary and reject the application based on that.

I have everything uploaded/filled out but each time I try to pay it gives me an error. Tried two different cards days apart. This is for Vietnam Application online. Anyone who has had this problem how did you fix it?

Edit: Visa Fraud Monitoring. The website enters a default hong address on the back end thet wont match your real address so cards with strict fraud monitoring may reject it. I was able to get my bank to disable fraud monitoring just long enough to make the payment then turn it back on. Went through right away.
