Update on our visa situation:

We applied for 2x visas the DTV visa using only medical appointment at the hospital, no booked classes for cooking ect

-Got the visa for 5yrs, appointment at hospital was for a quote for braces or veneers ect (teeth are straight already ) I’ve been to the appointment great service! Bangkok hospital.

-Mothers visa also came though - O visa .

We had applied for my child’s visa which didn’t come through by the time we left Australia, so we left for Thailand anyway.

-We went though fast immigration as we paid for the experience prior with a VIP service.

We only waited 5’minutes and we used our own visas to enter and got the stamps. My child is a young teenager and was visa except!

-While being in Thailand we got child’s visa 3 weeks later after applying in Australia and we will fly out this month to re enter on child’s visa.

Advice: Have all the correct forms printed out, don’t miss anything. The immigration are strict, but be organized, all forms should be in a clear folder displayed!

I didn’t use my phone to show anything, they want it physically in their hand!

Good luck
