Hi, advice please. I’m currently in Thailand and will be leaving to go Jakarta soon and apply for a DTV Visa. Can anyone confirm what address they used when they completed their application? Did you use one in Thailand?

Hi guys!

Any recent info on Jakarta?

Processing time

Proof of 500k baht for how long?

Heard someone report that they now require sometimes 2 or 3 months bank statements.

Can anyone confirm or deny or simply update on their process?

Thanks in advance!

1- Which country will be easy and faster as I’m Indian passport holder so between Indonesia and Vietnam which one I have to choose.

2 - How I have to pay DTV fees 10000B,

as mentioned I can make a demand draft to that particular embassy but I need a proper information on this

3- Now I’m in India so while filling the form what I have to choose in my current address, it should be My hotel booking of the city of embassy like- Hotel in Vietnam or Jakarta or I have to put my current address of India .

Is there anyone who faced difficulties at immigration- including being asked to provide proof of tax payments or show money upon arrival?

I have been hearing some issues upon returning to Bangkok with DTV at the Suvarnabhumi Airport this week.

I have a 3 day visa overstay that was paid and i re entered the kingdom. i want to apply from bali. will this be an issue?

Can I get a 30 day extension on visa waiver stamp at central fiesta? Or only at office near airport?

Thank you for accepting me to the group. I do have a question and couldn’t find the answer. For the retirement visa, will one of us have to have $24k or will each of have to have $24k in the bank? Thank you.

Good day, everyone,

Has anyone recently applied for a 1-year Non-O visa extension (based on marriage) at Phuket Immigration?

How long did the processing take?

Thanks in advance!

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS

NEW REQUIREMENT TO BUY A TOURIST VISA FROM EMBASSIES

There is a LOT of misinformation about this topic going around out on the inter-web right now (not surprising :O )

Sadly, it's 100% due to people using bad terminology when they talk about entering thailand :O

SO

Let's sort out two completely different things FIRST

60 day visa exempt entry <- you show up here without having bought ANY visa from a thai consulate and you get stamped in FREE for 60 days on the visa exempt entry program (on July 15th 2024 it went from 30 day visa exempt entry to 60 days)

Currently, people from 90+ countries get that if they show up without having a visa in their passport to thailand. Visa Exempt entry stamps usually have the code ผ.60-ม.17.

A Visa Exempt entry is not a tourist visa, it's not a visa at all, it's nothing but a free 60 day entry stamp. This is not affected by the proof of funds rule change.

Tourist Visa entry <- this is where you BUY a tourist visa from a thai consulate using the online eVisa website before you come to thailand.

When you arrive you are stamped in for 60 days under the TR60 entry stamp.

This IS affected by the proof of funds rule change and now to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here you must show proof of funds (20k baht or the equivalent) as a requirement

One last time FREE 60 day entry stamps are NOT affected by this rule change, you ONLY show proof of funds if you decide to buy a tourist visa from a thai consulate online before you come here...

AND (just so everyone knows)

There is no update on when/if the current 60 day free entry might change back to 30 days. The government talked about it, had press releases about it but at this time nothing has been decided at all

Hey guy,

For the DTV visa + 180 days extension, do I need to resubmit the 500,000 THB financial documents again?
