I have my first 0 retirement visa and it comes up for renewal in April 2025. I left Thailand on June 2024 due to medical issues I wasn't sure if I would be returning so I withdraw most of my 800,00 B. I will be returning in late November and I will be re depositing 800,00 back into my bank account. When I go to renew my yearly visa in April 2025 will I be able to renew my retirement visa?

I have looked at several posts about vietnam and thats where I am headed to apply for the DTV. I know all the requirements and have all the documentation, I am just a little confused about the e-visa process. Is the E-visa the same thing as the DTV? or do i actually go into the embassy in Ho Chi Minh and apply from there? Just trying to get clarification before I book a flight.

Sydney Consulate DTV application as remote worker (international FIFO)

Applied 29/10/2024

Additional documents requested: 07/11/24

Additional documents supplied: 07/11/24

Pending approval: 07/11/24

Approved on:12/11/24

Intended date of arrival 29/11/24

Departure date 21/12/2024

Address staying in Thailand (I put my apartment that I already rent and my landlords contact details)

Original documents supplied were,

Ordinary passport copy

Passport photo

Proof of work:Employment contract detailing salary roster etc.

Proof of location:West Australian driver’s license

Proof of 500k: Proof of balance( from commbank) showing $31,000 AUD 699k THB (not a bank statement) dated as of the day before application.

Some of you with a keen eye will notice a mistake I made 😂 ( I choose Sydney consulate as I started the application thinking I would have to go to there to receive a sticker and Sydney was a better option this was before I learnt that everything was online) but technically I should have applied via the Canberra embassy (because I’m Western Australian)

Additional documents requested.

Verification letter from my company allowing remote work.

About me ,I am Australian I work for an international mining machine company working loosely on a 6 weeks on 3 weeks off roster (excluding holidays) travelling around south east Asia (international FIFO) and base my self in Thailand. The company and office I work for are based in Indonesia (but the business group is global)

I know a lot of people would probably say that with those days in country that i could just continue on exempt entry and you are quietly right to think that, but I decided to apply for this because recently on a few entry’s I’ve began to receive more and more questions on arrival , so I decided to apply for this for some extra security as I don’t want to end up landing and being told to go back where I come from.

I wish everyone else success on their applications , and feel free to drop a comment if you have any questions.

I'm applying for my 90 day Non O visa, to start my marriage visa application.

Using the E-visa system is proving annoying, to say the least. It seems to allow only a single document per section, which is fine for most sections. However, the financial section also only allows one document, but asks you for many to prove your income.

So, I got the inevitable, more documents required email. I sign back in only to find that it only allows a single upload out of the six that I want to present. Talk about 'ministry of crap design' !

I merged all of the pdf files into a single file, uploaded it, and now hope for the best. How does everyone else manage this little problem ?

Hello, I applied for Thailand dtvisa in Ho Chi Minh City I applied for a remote workstation, but today I received an email asking me to submit additional paperwork. The additional paperwork says to add a remote working employment contract, but I am the representative of a private transport and logistics business in Korea. Therefore, there is no remote employment contract. Transportation and logistics are handled by our staff and we look at the guidelines and taxes. We also work remotely in Korea. No need to go to the office. Can I just submit my business registration card and portfolio explaining this without an employment contract?
