morning all, still on the question of wise for transferring money over , so if I input 800,000 baht it's giving my an exchange rate of 42.7 and have to send £19,758 pounds, and it's saying charges £120, so I've looked at the comparison list and they are more money to pay in to get less out, if that makes sense, I still think it's expensive, what do you guys think, any suggestions, thanks

Hi as anyone tried the Expatphone it’s a mobile service that lets you keep your original number. Just looking for some feedback before I commit thanks.

Applied 3 weeks ago with the New York Embassy. Still pending processing documents check anyone know how long this might take??

Has anyone managed to do the 90-day report online inside Thailand instead of going to Immigration? I moved to a place that’s over an hour from the office and I’m trying to handle it digitally. Has anyone succeeded?

Hi. I applied for DTV today. I paid and upload all documents. So normally in how many days i will get informed?

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this group. It seems a lot of people are applying for the DTV Visa while being in Laos or Vietnam. Is that better then just applying online from your home country and waiting to be approved then flying directly to Thailand?

Also I own my own registered company and provide online freelance/subcontractor services but don't have any significant branding or website to show for it will that be an issue?

My business account currently doesn't have the 500k sitting there but my personal savings does should be fine right.

Thanks for any insights!

Has anyone ever applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City? How was it? Was the wait long?

Hello, does anyone has applied for DTV VISA (Soft power) from Spain?

Hello, does anyone has applied for DTV VISA (Soft power) from Spain? Can someone tell me the expected waiting time until approved? Any rejection?

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa process and I hope someone can clarify this for me.

My situation is the following: I currently have an METV visa valid until December 2. My friend also had an METV, valid until November 26. She applied for the DTV visa at the embassy in Hanoi and got it approved on November 25 — even though her METV was still valid until the next day.

I just received an email from the embassy saying that I can only apply for the DTV visa after my current METV expires, and that I have to submit all my documents again once it’s no longer valid.

So my question is: why was my friend able to receive her DTV visa before her METV expired, while I’m being told that I need to wait until mine runs out? Did the embassy possibly make a mistake when issuing her visa? Or is there some rule I’m missing?

Income tax requested for DTV application - not having one since being a nomad:

Got requested - Financial evidence: an amount of no less than 500,000 THB, (e.g., bank statements for the last three months, sponsor letter) (already provided)

+ Provide the salary slips/income for the past 6 months, please highlight them in your transaction records, and provide your income tax last 2 years.

I have 2 questions:

1. Since, I've been moving around multiple countries (less than 6months each country) - It wasn't required by any of these countries to pay income taxes - what should I attach as income tax for the last 2 years?

2. I attached the bank statements for 3 months with over 500.000vnd.

Now that I will have to attach the payslips for the past 6 months, should I just highlight them in that 3 months bank statement - or should I attach another 6 months transaction record which I haven't got?
