4 days until my flight. No news from the HCMC embassy. Getting a bit nervous. Decided to log in and check the status. Guess what... They are waiting for additional documents since Feb 25th! Did not receive any emails about the request even though was emailed last two times they needed additional documents. Checked spam. Nothing. So they just forgot to notify.

Wish me luck!

And don't forget to check thaievisa website for status updates because notifications are not guaranteed as it turns out

I used DTac payg sim anything better out their that does the unlimited and isn’t a second mortgage cost ?

I received a request today for the following documents from the Thai embassy in Hanoi after applying on Friday (quick turnaround):

1.) Photo of my entry stamp - no issue there

2.) "Updated bank statement till the present."

The issue is #2, no bank I'm aware of provides mid-month or partial month statements up until a random day of the month. The most recent statement I'm able to download from by bank ends on February 28th. For context, I already provided 6 months of bank statement upfront going from January and back.

How am I supposed to provide a "bank statement until the present" when there's obviously no statement available going all the way to March 3rd?

[Update: They called for an interview this morning, but I am currently out of Laos. If I don’t attend the interview, will it cause any issues? (Just asking.)

For the requested documents, I had submitted my Laos visa and entry stamp.]

At 12:30 PM today, the status changed to 'Processing - Pending Approval,' but now, at 8:30 PM, it is still the same.

My question is, how long does it normally take for the status to change? And at this stage, do they usually call for an interview?

DTV Soft Power Application Cancelled.

Applied at New Delhi Embassy on 26th Feb.

Further document request regarding sources of income on 28th Feb.

Submitted Annual Tax Statement (Form 26AS), which records amount paid and tax deducted, of current and last financial years on 1st March. Stated in a cover letter that I'm unemployed and intend to fund my stay in Thailand using my savings and any income from investments. Included transaction statements of gold investments and crypto.

Received notification that my visa application has been cancelled on 3rd March.

I had 500k THB in my bank account for less than a month. I don't think I made any mistake while filling out the visa application on the website.

I recently got a new 180 day stamp into my passport (DTV). I'm renting a condo and I heard somewhere that if I leave Thailand and come back that I need a new TM30. Is that correct even though I still stay at the same place?

Question

If you get a non o in country from an agent, in the following 12 months do you need to bring in the 65,000 THB a month thing, or will the agent sort something out when the renewal is due?

Hi all, just came back from Chaing Mai and we can now confirm that we want to move there summer of 2026. My son will be in 10th grade and will need to attend an international school there. My husband is planning to run his business remotely from Thailand… what is the best option for us for visa? Need at least three years so my son can finish school. Sorry for anonymity, we haven’t told anyone yet.

Not sure if this has been covered so I will ask… then wait for the barrage of contempt 😂😂

Has anyone extended their 6 month stay inside of Thailand rather than exit & re-enter?

Just wondering how difficult it was and whether the immigration office has the know with all to manage the extension internally.

TIA

I’ve been told you need to have proof the required 500,000 baht has been in your bank account continuously for 28 days prior to your application. Has anyone had to provide this?
