DTV E-Visa application SUCCESSFUL 🙌🏻

Place of issue: Hanoi

This story has a few ups and downs so I hope it might help some of you to plan better and avoid stupid (expensive) mistakes.

We are a family of 3. My husband applied first and me and our son got the visa through his.

The first thing that went wrong was that just a few days before we arrived in Hanoi, they switched to the E-Visa system. We had read that it was easier and faster in Hanoi compared to KL (that’s why we decided to come to Hanoi), but in the end, it took just as long, and we had to stay in Hanoi for 2 weeks instead of the 5 days we had planned… so that was the first setback.

My husband applied online, and they responded within 5 days. A stupid system error, an automatic reading of the passport, entered an incorrect middle name, and because of that, they canceled the visa. He had to reapply (and pay the fees again). A day later, his visa was approved.

That same day, we applied for mine and our son’s, and it took 5 business days to be granted, with nothing to add or correct (there was also a national holiday in the middle).

Important Documents for the family visa: notarized translation of the birth certificate and marriage certificate, a bank account in my name with 500,000 baht (different from the one my husband used).

Honestly, I didn’t know if a notarized translation was needed but I didn’t want to risk to get denied for that.

If we had known that you could only apply online, my husband would have come alone, and my son and I would have come once he had the visa.

We would have saved a lot on flights and hotel nights if we had done that.

Hope it helps!!

Good luck to all of you ☘️

Please excuse me if im duplicating a much asked question but im having difficulty retreiving any searches inquiries. Im arriving in Bankok from USA in January for 54 days under a 30 day tourist visa (upon arrival). Is immigration still giving an additional 30 day visa stamp for a total of 60 day stay? thank you.

Help with DTV visa requirements please. 1) What is cost and 2) Is there a funded Thai bank account requirement, if so, how much. 3) Monthly income proof requirement if any..

Thank you!

Hello everyone I’ve applied from my home country. If the visa is not granted before my flight is due can I enter with normal visa and then go out of the country when they issue the DTV and come back to Thailand with the newly issued DTV visa ? Thank you

Asking on behalf: if you don’t renew your retirement visa, will the bank close your savings account if they know about it?

Can anyone suggest me a reliable yet affordable School or agency for getting a thai ED visa.

I am looking for a thai Ed 6 months visa. Can I do it while in Thailand with a tourist visa or I must apply for the ed visa from my country?

Today I crossed the land border from Laos to Thailand and I have a visa for 2 months, I am from Slovakia.

Hello.

Does DTV have to be applied via Thai embassy in your local country, or any country that a person might physically be? And in case of online application, through which embassy will that go to?

For example, for remote worker DTV, when passport is from north Europen country, while employment and residency is in south European country, while physically being in an Asian country. Can I apply when being in Vietnam for example, via the online application method?

Thanks.
