Hi, there is a field called ‚place of issue’ in passport details.

However, in polish passport I have only the information called ‚organ wydajacy’.

My DTV is on “pending approval “ but my wife has became very sick and I need to return to Thailand. it’s only been 2 days since I submitted. Should I email the embassy asking to go ahead and approve or not email and just enter on a tourist visa then renter when it’s issued ? Thank you for your help 🙏

If I am no freelancer then I have to do a soft power Does thai language school count as a soft power too?

Cause it only say cooking or muay thai or music festival which I don't get.

Also It means I will show a proof of 15k thai baht bank statement plus the activity I will be attending.

2. question: do I need to have a flight ticket ? What do i fill in if they ask for the flight number? I cant just buy a ticket and not knowing whether they accept me or not.

3. If I summit my application online , will it be fast ? Like 24h like other people? Or should I rather go in person?

I’m trying to open a bank account in Thailand so I can apply for a marriage visa when I’m back in UK beginning of March .

Banks will not do this as I’m visiting without a visa for 60 days

If I had a Marriage Visa no problem the banks say

So we went to

Local Gov offices in Ratchaburi and was told today we would have to make an appointment and only three days left in December

Would need to Bring our Village Elder

A Neighbour

A Member of mt Thai Wife’s family

To the appointment just to be able to open a bank account that’s needed to apply for a marriage visa. Need to deposit 400’000 baht into the account for two months before applying for Visa too

We will try and get this achieved before we have to return to UK

Unless you know of an easier way ?

File it under everything else, BOSS:

So I’ve been in BKK for the last couple of days. The weather has been Splendid. The Chang beer has been cold and flowing like the mighty Chao Phraya river and the Issan ladies as lovely as ever.

BKK has well dressed for Christmas. And George Michael’s iconic song ‘ Last Christmas’ has been blasting the airwaves.

My ponder is if Last Christmas song is really about Christmas or is more a love song. George could have sang Last Kwanzaa. or Last Ramadan and the song would have been as good as ever!

Any thoughts, comments?

I have TM30 scenario and don’t know where else to ask.

I’ve been asked to move into a house that is inside a Thai army base.

My concerns are:

Is that even plausible? I can see a farang going into immigration with a military address on a TM47 and it being a problem.

The TM30 itself can be created by the resident of that home? No lease, family if you will. I’ve had to create my TM30s in my current location, so I suspect that might not be a problem other than being located on military grounds.

Thanks!

Is anyone applying for DTV in HCMC on December 10 (I know it’s a government day off) and still waiting for approval today?

Also, can someone please share the time they received their approval email from the embassy? I noticed that many of you got approved very late in the evening, around 1 a.m.
