Hey everyone, I have submitted my DTV visa application, and gotten a request for additional documents. Most of the documents were easy to get, however they are asking for payslips from April, March and May.

My contract shows that I started working 1st of May, meaning I obviously only have 1 month payslip to show. They're essentially asking for payslips from my company from before I actually started working.

However, I have an extra written letter from my company CEO showing the duration of my contract, and the amount I will be getting paid in the coming months + showing that I can indeed work remotely etc.

Any thoughts on this being sufficient... or am I screwed? 😎

MY Visa has been confirmed and sent. Unfortunately, the date is not correct - my visa runs from the day of approval... Nobody answers the phone at the embassy in Frankfurt. Has anyone had similar experiences and knows how to contact the colleagues?

Regarding bank accounts, has anyone used a Revolut to prove funds for application? I do bank with santander but have savings in the Revolut

I just want the application as easy as possible and obviously not to be rejected

Good Morning, Im arriving in Thailand this week on my first Non O visa based on Retirement from the embassy in London, im a British passport holder.

I feel I have good understanding of the procedure like going to my local IO and finding out the local requirements (Surat Thani in this case) financial requirements, opening a bank account and seasoning the money Etc in regards to my extension of stay.

My question is regarding other paperwork, TDAC ill keep and print off, the initial TM30 thats my air bnb owners resposibilty but after that I have a house rented and a lease in place, my understanding is the landlady will have to do the first one then I could do them after that online or in person, what about going fwd ? everytime I travel internally in Thailand do i need to fill out a TM 30 at everywhere stay? And is there anything else im missing? Thank you in advance to this excellent group.

Hi all

Looking for some advice from people who have had experiences with Emirates. And Thai immigration.

Just received my β€œNon-Immigrant O” visa, To retire.

I intend to start the process for 12 months extension straight away when I arrive in Thailand.

One way flight booked with Emirates in 2 weeks.

Will Emirates allow you to board without an outward journey booked ? And also Thai immigration on arrival.

I realised I can book a cheap flight to Vietnam and then cancel it. Curious what other people have done in my situation ?

Many thanks πŸ™

Greetings. My sister is a new fellow in Siriraj who just arrived last week (1st arrival in thailand, in Don Mueang airport). By fellow, her medical training here will last for a year.

She was about to open a bank account and upon reviewing her documents, she was told by the bank that her stamp upon entry was wrong, because it was stamped as a tourist entry, not as a non-immig ED entry, so her stamp states a date that is shorter than her visa, and should have it corrected. The international affairs office just told her to go back to the immigration office and have it corrected but didn't give her any more specific instructions. We tried going back but they wouldn't understand us, and said we cannot enter the immigration office.

Her educ visa is an e-visa because that is what they provided her upon application.

We were given a number to call but no one understands us. Would anyone happen to have an idea how we could have this resolved? We were told we have to correct it asap. Thank you very much.
