Hi, I am Italian currently in Dominican Republic, web developer, I currently work as a freelancer, no fixed salary, if I find work I earn otherwise no, I would like to move to Thailand, maybe Samui, for a few months, maybe a few years, maybe a lifetime if it is worth it. What options do I have to enter and then stay without running into problems? Which visas can I use? And where do I have to get them?

Hello, I just received an email today with them asking for additional documents that include my business profile and business portfolio. Below is what I already included previously for my portfolio. Do you have any recommendations as to what else I should include in my portfolio and what information should be included in this business profile. For reference I applied as a freelancer in Los Angeles.

Soon I’ll have a DTV interview (remote worker) in Vientiane. I’m wondering if I need to print the pdf files that I uploaded during the application (financials, portfolio). The email says “Kindly bring all relevant original documents, including your passport.”

I’m just asking this because I’ve read “just show up” in the group multiple times but when I was paying for the visa fee I actually had to print out the invoice with the QR code on it (they stamped it after payment). People without the printed invoice were turned around.

I’ll bring my passport and laptop to show them whatever they want to see and I’ just wondering if I need to print anything else just in case.

Thank you.

Did anyone successfully register a new passport for the DTV visa?

I'm not in Thailand at the moment and I'll get a new passport soon but my approved visa application has the old passport number etc.

I applied online, so no sticker etc. in my passport.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Returned to the USA 🇺🇸 last month and plan on going back to Thailand 🇹🇭 late November. Was wondering if there has been any more talk about stopping the 60 day visa exemption?

TIA.

How do Thai people gets their tourist approved to visit USA?

So my wife was recently denied tourist visa to the USA. Background, she has a job at a hospital, we own a home together, and we have over 300k in her bank account “that money has been sitting there for over a year”. She also printed out her bank statement for the interview but they never asked to see it. Agent asked, what she want to go to the states for, where is she planing to visit and where is she staying. After that the interview was over and found that she was denied.

Maybe some of you guys who have had experience can share with me in how to get her a tourist visa.

Hi everyone! Quick question regarding the DTV. If you are applying for the DTV and your spouse is doing so as well, does your spouse also need to have the $15,000 USD in their account as well, or would they be looked at as an extension of your DTV? Still learning. Thanks in advance for the insight!!
