I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?

If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?

Do we get a reset every January?

Hey guys! applied for DTV visa, submitted all documents,

Then submitted another 7 documents they further requested,

Then i received the below request

I flew into Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for approval

And now they are saying this.

I’ve not heard of this before,

I was under the impression you are allowed to enter Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for approval!

Can anyone give me advice?

I’m in Thailand already!

Is this request from them incorrect?

Or any method around it that doesn’t require me to fly back home?

I’ve not heard of this being a problem, can it be questioned?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on building my 500,000 baht balance on my account. I expect to have it before my application, but the 500,000 balance will only be there for a few weeks, probably before my application. I’ll be applying at the Vienna embassy. Do you have any experience with this?

I can provide six months of statements, and they’ll see my monthly income from my employer. It’ll be the same company that will provide a letter for “remote work approval” and a contract as well.

So, what do you think? Is it more important to have a 500,000 baht balance for three months straight, or is it okay to have an end balance of 500,000 baht gained over six months?

Another thing is, I have two accounts in the same bank. One is my personal account, and the other is my business account. I always have money in my business account and then move about 70% of that paycheck to my personal account. I do this because I pay my insurance and taxes from my business account and other expenses from my personal account.

When I show my statements, there will be a difference in the numbers on those accounts. Should I show them with some graphic that highlights those moments on my accounts or add some text in the PDF to explain everything?

Lastly, should I provide every bank statement in English? Has anyone used Google Image Translation for this?

Thank you for your responses.

I have applied for Softpower DTV. Nothing happens since 06.08. I have a flight to Thailand on the 13th because I have to go to the clinic. I'm worried that it won't work anymore. Can I enter the country if it is still outstanding? My husband and daughter also need the DTV. Any ideas?

I'm looking to bring my partners niece to England for a 2 month holiday.

Roughly how long does the process take?

I know that might be like asking 'how long is a piece of string' but maybe someone who has gone through the process could give me a rough idea?

And what is the starting point?

The UK or Thai Embassy?

Thanks

Hello! My Daughter has an ED Visa and I have a Non-O (dependent) Visa. Our visas expire next year. Booked a flight for Dec 13. How soon can I go to immigration to submit school letter and to cancel our visas? School will refund deposit to my bank account. Will I have a hard time getting the cheque cleared and not be able to withdraw my balances on my account? Thanks 🙏
