HI, has a person from Laos obtained a DTV for medical purposes? My friend has the required bank balance in a Thai Bank, as well is also about to undergo Invisilein Dental services for the next year. The Dental office will supply the documents for the procedure and timeline.

My bank asked me if I want the immigration letter confirming the account balance for renewal of my one year visa in Thai language or English. Does it really matter?

Who can recommend me please on an agent that can help me with getting a DTV visa locatedin Chiang Mai?

I have been told by my employer that I am OK to work remotely in Thailand on a pert time basis 25 hours per week.

This suits me fine as I was going to retire/semi-retire.

Is anyone else doing this from the UK as I would like to know about the double tax arrangements and whether this forms any part of the DTV application.

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border, get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?

Question regarding the required documents for a non-O retirement extension: I've read in some comments that a one-year detailed statement printed from your bank is required. Is this only for the 65k monthly income method, or also needed for the 800k proof of funds?

Last year I provided the original and a copy of all passbook pages, and it was accepted. (800k method, CW office)

TDAC: I am on a non O visa based on marriage to a Thai national. Box „Country of residence resp. Address”. I am not sure if I should insert my country (Switzerland) or Thailand.

I'm applying for the DTV under the Workcation category in HMC.

I've been asked: "Please provide details about your current work, including the examples of your work, along with any supporting materials that demonstrate your experience and qualifications."

I've already submitted:

* LinkedIn Profile PDF

* Employer Company Commercial License

* Employment Confirmation Letter

* Employment Contract

I don't know what else they want. I'm a VP of Engineering working full-time remotely (not a freelancer), so I don't have a traditional portfolio. I'm planning to submit a concise work summary outlining my role and responsibilities, along with a notarised copy of my university degree. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything else you think I should add? Thanks!!

*update Approvals are granted over the weekends here at Hanoi.

Check your information at least 5 times before you submit the application. We spent one hour before we submitted it. Do not trust the passport reader. Check each number one by one . When they ask you for where your passport was issued put the country of issuance. I worked many years ago as an intern on an embassy . The consulate/ embassy you applied that piece of land is considered part of that country. If your passport is American and you got it at the american embassy in Hanoi or Bangkok put United States

On the first application i was told i was Lucky this second one confirms im not lucky i just spent enough most time putting the info together and thus the results

Good luck everyone!
