Anyone applied to add partner/husband to DTV

Any special requests you have been required to provide

Applying in Australia Sydney office for my husband

Thanks to everyone who posted in this group and for the valuable support.

Got my TDV today from Vientiane -

I had a document from the dentist explaining my problems and the need to frequent appointments and follow ups ( FYI , it’s for real) and of course the other requested documents.

No questions and easy process.

Good luck 🍀

I would like to share how I got my DTV visa in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

This group helped me a lot during my preparation and that's why I wanna contribute too.

❗I applied in September and at that time, the embassy accepted walk-in application, however, it will change to Evisa starting from 8th October.

General info

--------------------

The process was pretty easy in my case.

No appointment was needed.

I applied on a Friday and got an appointment next Friday.

The processing time was pretty long though.

There was no interview.

Visa fees $400

Documents I submitted

---------------------------------------

✅Passport

✅Passport front page copy

✅Visa application form

(1 photo, white background, 3.5 x4.5 cm)

✅Place of stay in Thailand (condo rental contract)

✅Flight ticket (not a mandatory though, since I have already bought one, I submitted it also)

✅Workcation category

•Work contract

•Recommendation letter

•Payslips (6 months)

✅Bank statement (3months)

•With Myanmar bank account

•The account has been opened for more than 1 year but was inactive without transactions.

•Put the money 2 weeks prior to my application date

✅Bank certificate

•I requested the bank to include the currency in both MMK and USD.

•Both of my bank statement and bank certificate are not the original documents. Since I am already in Thailand, my mom helped me get the documents and sent me the scanned copies. I submitted with the sacnned ones and that was okay.

I have also made a video about this but I'm sorry it's not in English sub.

Hope this helps!

All the best ☘️

For a remote worker applying for DTV, does my employer's company need to be registered in the country where I am applying for DTV?

For example, if the company is US-based and registered in the US, but the project is in Laos and I, as a Taiwanese national, can work entirely remotely, can I apply for DTV in Laos with the company’s US registration? Or does the company need to be registered in Laos?

October holidays for immigration offices.

Please be aware that

Monday October 14th and

Wednesday October 23rd

are public holidays and all immigration offices will be closed.

Airports or land borders are not affected by these closures.

If you have a stamp that expires on one of these dates then either apply early for an extension or go the next open day. For the latter you’d get a small stamp in Thai saying “overstay, fine waived due to closure”.

Hello

We finally received the visa for my husband.

Nationality: Iraqi

Resident: Belgium

Visa : single entry tourism

In the past the visa stated the max date of entry and the visa length (2 months). But this has changed.

It states-valid from- and -valid until-

Does that mean he can (in theory) arrive 3 Oct and leave the 29 Dec ?

I don’t see a max validity in days on it.

Thanks advice

Hi,

Hope you're all well.

I'm currently in Bangkok. The Visa exemption stamp on my passport says 17th November (60 days). I will then need to go to a local Immigration Office to extend for another 30 days if I want to stay longer. Is this correct?

Would you be able to provide suggestion on the best/fastest office to go too?

I’m currently staying in Chatuchak area.

Thank you! 🙏

Education Visa. If I leave the country and get a re-entry permit but can’t make it back in to Thailand due to personal reasons, is there a penalty other than losing my ED validity? Or will I just have to apply for a new one? Black listing? Fine?

Hi everyone. Just want to share my application experience in Vientiane. I went for my appointment this morning and got sent away twice for lack of documents. I hope this post will allow others to be better prepared.

I went to the embassy with the following documents;

1. Application form with 2 photos attached

2. 6 months of bank statement showing more than 500K baht every month

3. Employment certificate stating my position and that my job is entirely remote

4. Official company registration document with government stamp

5. Passport data page & Laos entry stamp

6. Hotel booking confirmation

7. Document showing my residential address (I use my country issued identification card with address stated)

First rejection:

After looking through my documents the officer wants me to show prove of my salary being credited into my bank account. I left the embassy to print the statements which showed the salary being transferred into my account.

Second rejection:

After looking at the statements, the officer wants to know how do I prove that the money credited is my salary and also wants me to provide employment contract. I left the embassy again this time to contact my employer to write a letter stating my salary for the months shown in the bank statement and an employment contract.

My documents was finally accepted and I paid 10K baht, receive a paper with the date for passport collection.

After reading through this group for a month, I thought the employment certificate indicating my work position and stating my work is entirely remote is enough. Turns out I need to provide employment contract. The bank statements conclusion too wasn’t enough, I have to show full statements with salary credited and also a letter from employer stating the salary.

Hopefully all is good and I get my passport back with the visa.

Hello! We are Bulgarian citizens and We have an upcoming trip to Thailand, and we booked flights to Cambodia for a 2-night stay, after which we will return to Thailand. However, we recently found out that we might have an issue with entering Thailand for the second time. Has anyone encountered this situation, and what can we do about it? 🥲🥲
