Hi, have any single parents applied for a dependent and could give some insight on the process ? I’ve read that I need a court order letter or a letter from the other parent stating they allow the dependent to travel without them.

Dad is on the birth certificate, but left when my kid was a few months old. No court order in place as he doesn’t want custody. For context I plan on applying in Vietnam.

Hello,

I submitted my dtv application to the LA embassy on 5/3 (Saturday). It's now 5/15 (8 working days later) and my application is still "pending document check." At which point is it reasonable to contact them and ask for an update? Thanks

Infant as a dependent — what did you guys use as proof of location?

Thanks 🙂

Hello. I am planning to go to Hanoi in June to apply for the DTV. I believe I have everything I need. Can anyone tell me how long it should take and how I should apply (in person or online) for the fastest decision? Thank you!

Hi everyone.

I've seen a lot of people mention inserting a cover letter.

I've got the full application completed but I don't see a section to insert a cover letter.

Where should I insert it?

Thanks for any advice.

Got my LTR-P visa today. FWIW, it took six weeks for the BOI cert plus another two weeks for the e-visa approval (about 8 weeks total). For unknown reason (different screen / agent), my wife's dependent LTR approval was much faster, three weeks for BOI.

Question: I believe I need to print the e-visa for immigration, but should it be in color? (chatGPT says color is best)

Hi all, I've been trying to email the Thai Embassy in Rome for this information but I'm still yet to receive a reply so far after three emails, one per week for the last three weeks I thought I'd try asking my questions here. Some are pretty general and one is specific to the Embassy in Rome. It'll be a long post so I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read and advise.

My first question is as a British National who spends most of his time in Libya, around 7 months of the year, and the remainder of his time in Thailand, am I able to apply for my Non O visa in Libya which uses the Rome Embassy due to no Embassy in Libya, if it helps I do have a residence visa in Libya.

My second question is applying for my Non O so I can legally spend as much time as possible in Thailand with my son, would I select the staying with Thai family option?

My Third question which is specific to the Thai Embassy in Rome is has anyone successfully applied for a visa and been accepted without having the money in there accounts for 3 months? I currently have the money but it's only been in my account for 5 weeks.

That's me finished, if you made it to here thanks very much!

hi, arrival card question -- what should i write in my arrival card as the purpose of arriving if i'm with a non-o visa, guardian of a child with ED visa?

Hello,

I work in Thailand as a teacher, I am Colombian. My mother, over 60 years old, would like to come and stay for 10 months. Because she is over 60 I am working towards her arriving on a Tourist visa and then applying for a dependant one here.

My plan is to buy a 10 month ticket but I fear the immigration officer will not allow her entry with that kind of ticket when our tourist visa is max. 90 days.

I have asked at the school I work in and they mention that I should just give her a copy of my visa, work contract and house contract but I am very worried it would not be enough.

Could someone please advice on the best way forward?

Is the new digital arrival card only for Tourists or for all kind of visa holders?
