I ask for my friend, he's not on FB, so I hope it's ok I ask for him.

He has a non o retired 1 year visa he got from a visa agent, but now he got money, and want to do his visa by himself.

He has bank account, and already sent over 800k to the account, he own his condo, he also has retired money over 65k month. He's 69y old.

He got his visa in Pattaya agency, but he lives in Samut Prakan.

So what's the easiest, and the correct way to get him in that situation he can do his extensions by himself, and just pay 1900B + single/multiple entry/ies?

I just got approved in Cambodia - besides the wait time the whole process has been a total breeze.

I’m from the UK & applied for the workcation (I’ve been freelancing for 5 years).

I submitted my application on the 14th Feb. It changed from pending document check to pending approval on the 17th Feb (after the weekend). It then got approved today (27th Feb) so 9 working days later.

I wasn’t asked for any additional documents so here’s what I submitted in case it helps anyone.

Proof of location:

- Photo of entry stamp into Cambodia

- Hotel booking for 1 week

Proof of finance:

- Cover letter highlighting my closing balance and what that is approximately in Thai baht.

- 6 months of bank statement with a closing balance of over 500k. The previous months did not have that amount.

- 6 months of invoices from my main client + 3 from additional clients.

Proof of work:

- Cover letter explaining what I do for work as a freelancer and why I want to live in Thailand then I highlighted which documents I had included.

- Screenshot of my HMRC account with Unique Taxpayer Number as proof of me being a freelancer.

- Cover letter from my main client stating they have worked with me for 2 years and happy with the work I produce remotely.

- Full contract with my main client, signed 2 years ago.

- Screenshot of about 6 pages of my portfolio.

- Screenshot of 3 pages of my website.

Done & dusted. They asked for nothing else.

If you want a quick turnaround then avoid Cambodia! But if you’re happy to go somewhere new and chill, then Siem Reap really is a beautiful little place and I highly recommend to stay at Vihara City of Temples hotel, it’s $30 per night.

Can anyone tell me how if there is a minimum term for the 500k to be in your account for uk application

a question for people from non-english speaking countries that applied for a visa outside there home country.

when you submitted your account statement (or any other proof of financial capability), were the documents in your language or did you have to translate them to english?

Question⁉️

I am applying for the Thai DTV visa from the Washington Embassy. I’ve seen many posts mentioning that applicants have included a letter of intent and bank statements showing their monthly income. However, the official website only lists the required documents as proof of current location, financial proof of 500,000 THB, and an employment certificate. Would adding these extra documents be beneficial? And if so, where would I submit them since there doesn’t seem to be a designated place?

Thank you in advance for any insights!

I am going crazy.

I realize I made a mistake that I did not get my non-immigrant visa before I came to Thailand . The bank is telling me they cannot open an account until I get the visa. Immigration is telling me they will not give me the visa until I have a bank account.

The bank tells me I need a phone number. I am at Jungceylon Mall in Patong. The phone store is telling me they cannot give me a cheap phone so that I have a phone number to give the bank unless I go all the way to Phuket town to get documents.

Is this crazy?

Asking for my Indian friend. They want to extend (here in Phuket currently on a 60day visa exempt entry).

Are they eligible for a 30 day extension or only 7 days?

Know it was 7 days before, not sure it was relaxed when India went to visa exempt entry.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, is there an agency that can help obtain comprehensive long-term treatment plans from Bumrungrad?

I’m a long-term patient at Bumrungrad and require frequent follow-ups, but none of my available documents include a long-term treatment plan.

I’ve tried reaching out to their expat liaison and info teams via email but haven’t had any luck. I’m looking for a third-party service that can assist in coordinating with the hospital to obtain the long-term treatment plans needed for my DTV medical visa application.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Like, you can't dip below 500k baht at all later on or is it just for when you first apply for the DTV visa?

I was asked for 6 months accomodation in BKK by HCMC embassy. I dont have a rental agreement and had only booked a hotel for a week that had been attached. Ive now booked a different hotel for 6 months in 2 seperate booking of 90days as thats all it will let me. Im actually staying at a free apartment owned by a family friend but have no documentation to prove this.
