It's my turn to say that my DTV has been approved. I applied as a digital worker applicant and I applied at the Lisbon Embassy. Eighteen days for approval but I pushed the situation because everything happens slowly in Portugal, even if it's not Portuguese. 😌 Here's the details:

Sept 17 6pm applied

Sept 29 9pm I emailed asking for status update

Sept 29 12am embassy emailed for a longer job description

Sept 30 2am emailed supporting documents

Oct 4 9:30 am I emailed to confirm they got my documents

Oct 5th 4:30pm email with approved visa

I have been on an expired PT residency visa for almost a year and after waiting more than a year for a renewal appt. I attended that appt and was told it would be another 6 months for an answer if approved and my card. That is a 1.5 year wait for a 3 yr residency card and in 17-18 days I got a 5 yr Thai visa! For all those people in the EU that says you have to be patient with EU bureaucratic systems take a look at efficiency of other countries immigration. The info I needed for my PT renewal appt was the EXACT same documents I needed for the DTV as well. I'm super excited!

Im applying for a Non O Marriage Evisa through the Sydney consulate and will initially be staying in my wife's apartment which she owns as per her ID card then I will stay at her other property which she owns for which she has a blue house book in her name

What do I put under Accomodation type? Accomodation Name ?

Duration of stay ?

Does she need to make a invitation letter for both properties?Or would it be simpler to just use one adress for the 90 days .

This is a much more detailed than when I applied last October apologies for my confusion!

Hi all! It appears if Kasikorn Bank is now requiring annual 100,000 baht life insurance in order to open a bank account. I would appreciate any info you have on this. I was hoping to open my account in Udon Thani today.

Hi guys - sorry, I know topics/questions like this appear often, but I am too lazy to look it up....

I am considering moving to either Thailand or Philippines within the next few months. Totally unsure just where to start my initial endeavor. My budget will be $4K USD (VA Benefit) per month - I know I can live well in each (not so much Bangkok) in either. I don't mind posting up somewhere for a couple of weeks while traveling to explore to find long-term (1yr+) place to settle down for a while.

I am looking at Boracay/Cebu, or similar; or in Thailand, Krabi, Phuket, Bangkok, or??? I've been to all many times, lived in HK for 4 years and lots of travel to each. I like action, things to do, nice beach (not Bangkok) and great expat community.

Since being unsure, looking for advice for a relative noob - what do you wish you knew, or did know before arrival. What would you recommend for early entry into APAC looking to post up for a couple of years. I do like the fact that I can move and around freely and go place to place.

Also, what about shipping medicine from the US? Better to just get here? One last thing - how is Amazon delivery? I am used to ordering at 9PM, and getting the next day? I understand its nothing like that, but how reliable is the shipping/arrival?

Thanks much in advance for your help and guidance.
