Im currently in the middle of getting approval for my DTV application. Applied from Sydney Australia with an Australian Passport. The consulate has requested a remote work letter and due to my circumstances, they are taking a very long time to provide this. I was wondering if it is possible to provide the embassy with a medical certificate stating that I am the primary caregiver to my partner (unmarried) who has the DTV as a result of medical treatment to get this approved?

"I'm confused. Recently, Thailand changed the tourist visa duration from 60 days back to 30 days, starting in May 2025. However, when I visited the official Thai E-Visa website and checked the FAQ section under 'Do I need a tourist visa?', I entered my nationality (United States) and my intended stay (60 days). The website responded: 'You can travel to Thailand without a visa for no longer than 60 days.'

Does this mean I can stay in Thailand for 60 days without needing to apply for a visa extension?"

From my search, it looks like U.S. citizens can still stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. However, Thailand is introducing an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system starting in June 2025, which will require visa-exempt travelers to register before arrival.

I'm on a retirement visa that needs to be renewed in September. I may need to leave Thailand next month and return in October. Is there some way of being able to extend the RV before I get back, or some other way to handle this without having to start the whole RV application process again from scratch when I return to Thailand in October?

hello

After a 90 days visa. I would like to ask for a DTV 5 years multiple entry. As a pensioner so I have to invoke another reason such as taking Thai courses or still for medical care. My question is what are the certificates to be provided (type of establishment, duration.. ) to avoid being excluded from this visa. Thank you for your advice.

Bonjour

Apres un visa 90 j. J'aimerais demander un DTV 5 ans entrée multiple. En tant que retraité donc je dois invoquer une autre raison telle prendre des cours de thai ou encore pour des soins médicaux. Ma question est quelles sont les attestations à fournir ( type d'établissement , durée..) pour éviter d'être exclu de ce visa.Merci de vos conseils.

Applying for my "first" one year extension for my 90 days non o based on retirement. have opened an account with the 800000 for two months. How long do they need a bank statement for ?

Do we need visas for a 2 week holiday, coming from UK?

Is there an alternative immigration office in Bangkok besides Chaeng Wattana?

To be based in Prawet/Suan Luang I was hoping there might be an alternative!!

UPDATE :

I received my visa today 🙏 thank you all

15 may I apply my dtv

16 may request for extra documents

19 may pending approval

28 may received my dtv visa

Hello everyone

I submitted my DTV visa application on 15 May through the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt. On 16 May, I was asked to provide additional documents, which I submitted on the same day. Since 19 May, the status has been stuck on processing pending approval.

The problem is that I’m flying to Thailand on 6 June, and now I’m unsure whether I’ll receive the visa in time.

Does anyone have experience with the Thai Embassy in Frankfurt?

Currently on a Non-Imm-O, based on marriage. Will turn 50 a few days before the expiration date of the current extension. I prefer not to wait for the last minute and apply a few weeks earlier - can I apply for an extension of stay based on retirement before I am actually 50 ?

TM30 online program question.

Can you pull up your history (previous reports) you’ve done on your TM30 online system. Just like you can do so on the 90 day report online system. Very useful if you can. TYIA
