Apologies if this isn't allowed here. But my daughter got her US citizenship today and my girlfriend got denied her Visa to the USA. I was also recently denied my Non-Immigrant O visa to Thailand for "insufficient paperwork". The only thing I can figure out is that my daughter has not had her birth certified as being my daughter.

Does anyone have experience writing their congressman in the USA to help with Visa help? I really want my parents to meet their granddaughter, but my Mom is not healthy enough to fly here to Thailand.

I will take any advice for my situation to stay in Thailand with my daughter and travel to the USA with her as well. If anyone knows somebody that can certify a birth for a 6 month old child I would really appreciate it too. Thank you.

Digital arrival card it will only allow me to do it on the day of arrival ..is this right I was under the impression that you needed to do it 3 days before .

Hi All,

I'm planning on flying to Thailand on 24th June from London at 20.50

I have an appointment in London to get a new passport on the same day .

I will get my new passport at 1pm that day .

Does this give me enough time to get the online arrival card for entering thailand on visa exempt ?

Whats the link to apply for a tourist visa i whether through what looked official and they wanted to charge me 113 us that right?

My wife and I are presently divesting ourselves of our assets in preparation for retirement in Hua Hin.

As we are currently residing in the US, we plan to make Thailand our home by December 31st.

To ensure a smooth relocation, I have joined this group to conduct research and have noted that several members are experiencing difficulties with banking requirements. Following a review of the comments, I have surmised that hiring an agent would be the most advantageous approach.

I would like to inquire:

Is this assessment accurate?

Is it recommended that we hire an attorney or agent?

Could anyone suggest a trustworthy contact in the Hua Hin or Bangkok areas?

(Special recognition goes to Meta AI for a well written correction of my original post!)

i was looking at the requirements for a retirement visa are these options still the norm or has it reverted to the balance option only. thanks all.

**Financial Requirements:

Option 1:** Have a deposit of at least 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying.

Option 2: Show a monthly income (including pension) of at least 65,000 THB.

Option 3: A combination of bank deposit and annual income totaling 800,000 THB.

So how long do you have to have 65000baht going into a thai bank account for immigration

Good afternoon. I have a question, my husband has an approved DTV and I want to apply as a wife. Does the marriage certificate have to be legalized in any embassy before apply for the DTV ? The certificate is in Spanish and I could do the translation myself but I don't know if they need a translation service or some legalization. Please, does anyone have experience in this situation?

I’ve just had this from Hanoi embassy asking for proof of income for my business. It’s registered but yet to have income from yet.

I do have a full portfolio of work eg. YouTube videos, courses, website etc

Anyone had this issues with proving income?

Has anyone had problems getting into.the country without a follow-on destination listed in their Digital Arrival Card ?
