Just got approved about an hour ago! 🥳

From Canada 🇨🇦, workcation

Timeline goes like this:

Sept 7th - Applied

Sept 17th - Received an email saying they will process my application in October for some reason

Sept 18th - They sent an email to my boss asking for employment confirmation

Sept 23rd - DTV approved

I still don’t understand why they told me they were going to process the application in October just to approve it 5 days later but hey i’m not gonna complain that’s for sure 😂🙏

Hey all, I'm living in Spain and I work for a company here, I was thinking of Applying for the DTV from Brazil as I will be there for a month, would that be a problem?

My payslips, bank account and documents are all from Spain.

Reason is that I saw too many delays on Madrid embassy and in Brazil seems to go very fast. Would it be fine if I apply for my wife in a different country afterwards?

I am currently living in Thailand on a non-immigrant O spouse visa. I plan on applying for a DTV 6-months before the end of my current non-immigrant O as this is the only time I will be in another country for long enough for the application process. A few questions:

1) I see on the document list I need a 'Document Indicating Current Location.' Does that mean Thailand or UK?

2) Assuming it means the UK, what kind of document would that be e.g. a bank statement with my parent's UK address on?

3) Am I correct in thinking I can't start the application process before I leave Thailand?

4) Do I need to do something to cancel my non-immigrant visa or will it auto cancel when I get my new DTV?

My agent has requested that I obtain a Thai phone number to obtain my LTR Visa stamp at the BOI. I am hoping for an inexpensive way to obtain a Thai number, as my current U.S. service will remain my primary phone plan. Google has provided many options, but most require relativeley expensive plans. Can anyone please recommend a service or app for an inexpensive Thai phone number (or one that had a reasonably priced plan)? Thank you for the helpful information in advance!!!

Hi all I'm a bit confused at how I open a Thai bank account before applying for my retirement visa? Have I read that wrong? Do you go over on holiday and open one but I read somewhere you can't open it unless you have a visa?

Also is it advisable to use an agency to do everything for you?

Hi guys,

Can anyone please advise regarding getting the marriage spouse visa.

I’m just getting my marriage certificate done with my wife this Friday.

The immigration officer from Chaengwattana has asked me to :

1. Firstly, extend my tourist visa (expiring on Sept. 30th) and then later

2. Get an extension for ‘visiting spouse visa’ so I can later apply for the marriage visa (non-o)

A bit confused and wondering if anyone went through something similar?

Thanks in advance 🙏
