We applied for our daughter to be a dependent on our DVTs. As part of the application we provided screenshots of both the mother and father’s DTV.

On our daughter’s DTV it only has the father’s name. Does this means she MUST be with the father every time she enters the country?

My wife was hoping to maybe take her on a few trips with just the two of them, but we’re now worried this won’t be an option as she’ll need me (father) to be present every time she’s entering.

Thanks!

I have 2 thai bank accounts but are worried they will be closed. What are all the ”work arounds” if that would happen? I know about Moreta, Tag thai and true money. Is there anything else?

Hi everyone, I applied for a Non-O visa but my application was cancelled because of a technical mistake. Do I need to re-apply and pay again immediately, or would it still be okay if I submit the corrected application only in a few days (because of timing/weekend)? Could a delay of several days between the cancelled application and the new one cause any problem? Thanks a lot for any advice

If I apply for a Muay Thai gym in Bangkok with Software Power, will it be okay if I live in Khon Kaen? There aren't any certified Muay Thai gyms in the area I want to live. What should tm90 do in this case?

Hi, I have just received my non immigration O visa and I will be applying for a marriage visa, I know the process for this.

I'm booking my flight and it will obviously be 1 way, could this create a problem at UK check in,as I don't have a return ticket?

Thanks in advance.

I've been in Thailand for many years with an Extension based on retirement of an original Non-Immigrant O visa. I also have a ME Reentry Permit. I just returned to Thailand with a new soft power DTV. The IO wanted to admit me under the old extension but I explained that I wanted to enter under the new DTV so that my wife could apply for a spousal DTV. After a few minutes and a short discussion with another IO, he stamped me in for 6 months. The entry stamp says "DTV" hand written on it.

My question is -- am I required to go to Immigration to cancel the extension of the original Non-O visa? Or can I just let it expire on its own? I do plan on leaving and re-entering Thailand at least one more time before the extension expires. I'd like to avoid the half day at Immigration if possible.

I submitted my application at the Ho Chi Minh Embassy in Vietnam, but I only had 14 days visa there - my documents still haven’t been processed, so I had to go to Kuala Lumpur—Im here now. Can I reapply here even though my previous application is still pending?

Can anyone share how long did it take to get DTV visa as workation (freelancer) in HCMC? It takes quite longer than I thought...

Applied on August 11th at 2:00am

Turned out to be pending approval on August 13th

Still so far nothing has changed.

I already know that August 11th and 12th were Thai national holidays and they don't work on weekends, but still almost 7 business days have been passed while on HCMC official consulate website says general processing time is 4~6 days. Trying to be patient but the fact that I even needed to cancel my flight ticket that supposed to leave two days ago just makes me frustrated..

I’ve just been searching advice at an agent here in Thailand. She told me there is no need to add/apply kids under 14 yo on/for DTV (as dependents) Any thoughts on that ..?
