it’s not really visa related but wondering if anyone has experience getting a thai drivers license. specifically motorbike.

i know the correct channel to do so however all appointments at the department of transport are taken until december. i’ve heard of schools with which you can sit the test so an appointment with the transport department isn’t necessary.

does anyone have recommendations in bangkok? i’m time orientated as i only have 2 weeks to do it for various reasons. cheers!

Has anybody done a passport renewal since securing DTV?

I received my DTV stamp a few months ago, but I have about 3 pages left in my passport.

If I get a new passport, is the dtv stamp in the old one still valid?

Hi,

Someone else has experiences with a second request for extra documents. I was already requested for extra documents which I uploaded last Saturday. Asking for all passport pages even empty one, resume/cv, showing my work.

But now I received the following message about even more documents. I applied through the Vietnamese embassy in Ho Chi Minh, as I'm currently in Danang.

* Other request documents: Provide company registration in original language and official ENGLISH translation. (An official translation is a translation that has been translated by a translation company with confirmation that the translation is true to the original.)

* Other request documents: Please provide evidence of all previous employment listed in your CV, including employment contracts from former companies, photos taken at previous workplaces, and any other relevant documentation.

Seems like quiet a lot to me to even have photos of previous workplaces. Also any hints on legal translations are welcome?

There has been lots of posts over the years regarding to the use of "Pink" Thai IDs cards. Here is my experience after 5 or 6 years of use. In my mind it's second class to your passport or "normal" Thai ID, in so much they are used when a greater level of verification is needed, like banks, AIS, LD (land department). However, I have successfully used the pink ID in Hospitals both private and government, doctors, dentists, which is useful if I need to go without thinking about taking my passport, because I leave it at home.

I will apply DTV with remote job next 2 weeks in Vietnam. I have all fully documents and I prepare but my bank account has only 170000 baht now and I will deposit 330000 tomorrow. Can I get the visa? Is will be risk? I lived in Thailand for 1 year on ED visa.

Please advise to me

Hey all!

What should I put for home address on the DTV form?

I have an address in Thailand as I had a previous visa, I also have my USA permanent home address. And of course I’m in Taipei applying for this.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just did my 1st 90 day report online. Hearing that I might need to go in person 1st time, that's fine.

My question is there was no payment option which had me shocked.

Maybe it's a dumb question. Still, can somebody tell me what I need to attach in "Document indicating current location"? My country of citizenship (my driving license or any utility bills), or where I am right now (at that time while submitting the documents)?

PS. I'm still in my home country...

Hi, I'm a bit confused about my experience with the DTV visa in Thailand. I've entered Bangkok three times already, and the first time was smooth with no issues. However, the next two times, I encountered some questioning at immigration.

After my first entry in February, I traveled to Singapore in April and stayed for three weeks. When I returned to Bangkok, a female officer asked about my purpose for visiting Thailand. I explained that I'm taking cooking classes and showed her some photos. She also asked about my return flight to my home country.

When I returned from Singapore again in May, I encountered another female officer who asked why I applied for the DTV visa in Hanoi. I explained that it's for cooking classes and mentioned that I have a sister here. She asked for my return flight ticket, which I showed her, and then stamped my passport.

I'm wondering why I'm being questioned despite having a DTV visa. Should I mention my one-year condo lease in Bangkok during future entries? For context, I'm not working, and I visit Singapore regularly because my partner works there. Since we're not married, I opted for the DTV visa as it's more convenient for me to stay in Thailand than fly back to my home country, which is a four-hour flight. TIA.🙏

Hi everyone, Just to clarify, Is this an example document enough to file the 90-day report.

Can she do TM30 online for me? I’ve been staying at my girlfriend’s house ( she’s the owner of the house )

Thanks in advance for any help! 🙏🏼
