Hi guys, I'm almost finished the online application to Jakarta from Bali. Please I have a question if anyone can advise:

My bank statement address is from UK as I lived in London for many years but my passport is Irish and my home address is listed as my Irish home address.

Will this create a problem?

I could easily change my home address to match the UK bank statement address but will they then question why my home address is UK but passport is Irish?

Would matching addresses be better or is having an Irish home address better?

Ugh I'm so confused thank you in advance for any advice which is better🙏🙏🙏

Thank you🤗

Hi "On the TDAC form they ask me the reason for the trip. I have a 6-month cooking course — should I select holiday or education?

Hi, has there been any updates on opening a bank account on the DTV ?

I need solid advice about my current scenario. I arrived in Thailand for the first time in November, got the 60-day stamp then went to immigration and got a 30-day extension. I did a border run to get another 60 days. Then another border run for another 60 days. By the time I finally decided to get a non O retirement visa (90 days + 12 month extension of stay) I realized I didn’t have enough time so am doing one last border run in a few days. Yes I should have done things differently but I failed. I am leaving Thailand in July and returning in October. Do I need to get the non O visa before I leave so I won’t be rejected upon trying to re-enter? Or can I leave then begin the visa process immediately upon coming back in October?

What's the word on the street lately re: the best countries to apply for DTV from? Is Hanoi still the easiest option when it comes to the requirements for DTV? (Not asking for myself, it's for an article I'm writing)

Hi all. So I have a friend who used an agent to apply for his evisa. They flagged his application lately and asked him to attend a physical interview , and the agent keeps on saying he should wait . Has anyone ever encountered such a situation, he had made flight reservations for next week. Is it possible that he’ll still get the visa maybe next week latest? Thank you all .

Hi! Curious to know if there is some regulation behind which school I could apply to and how that would affect my visa approval for the soft power courses?

What do the schools give us as proof for visa application?

Day 5 in Vientiane.

Application still stuck at the first step, was asked for a different passport photo on Tuesday which I sent immediately.

No further contact from them.

I'd seriously rethink coming here, not just for it being slow but every day in this city feels like a month.

The city is in ruin's and it's like a ghost town.

There are so many other beautiful surrounding countries that you could apply.

Even if it took 3-4 weeks elsewhere it would be a better choice than here.

Hope this helps others avoid this miserable place.
