I received my DTV yesterday! 🥳

Hanoi embassy, Workation, Submitted documents on 07.01@16:00, Approved 15.01@15:00.

I immediately (15.01@18:00) applied for my wife and two children. Does anyone have an up-to-date timeline of how long dependent visas take in Hanoi?

Update 19.01@12:00: Status switched to „pending approval“

Update 22.01@12:00: Dependent Visa approved. 🥳

Just done my first Thai Retirement Visa (Non-O) on-line 90-day reporting at the web-site.

I have done my first reporting requirement reporting in-person as they say do.

Had a few little issues with getting the form filled in. The biggest single thing is the TM47 form would not allow me to enter some small amount of info, like the check-mark for either naming myself a tourist or a retiree. It would not accept either selection.

Good news is it accepted the form as a whole. Now my question: there is a place on the form listing the status of the form approval.

So far at the status slot it says 'Pending'.

So how long does it typically take for it to show 'Accept' or 'Reject'?

One day, 2 days, 5 days?

I looked on the net but could find no definitive info.

Thank a bunch for your help!

How many days DTV will get approve from Thai Embassy in Frankfurt?

Got my DTV today via London. Thought I would share details.

Applied online on Monday at 18.19 with

Passport, Photo

Proof of funds - current account, Sept statement only.

Letter from employer confirming employment, salary, and able to work remotely.

Flight dates & number only

Hotel name, with location only

Paid visa fee

Tuesday at 16.55 got email asking to upload employment contract. Did this pretty immediately. Clear instructions on email on how to do this.

Today (Thurs) at 19.52 approval email with visa attached.

It was very straight forward🙂

Hello again! I am from the USA and over 50. I transferred my funds from overseas to my Thai bank on November 16 to position myself to apply for a Non-O visa after January 16 and eventually obtain a retirement visa (based on guidance previously provided here). I would like to know what timeline for processing the application and obtaining retirement visa I should expect. Currently I will fly into Bangkok on December 30: my return flight to US is March 28. My concern, Will I need to extend my stay to complete the visa process? Not clear how this works.

60 tourist eVisa granted via UK Thai Embassy (online). 5 days in total, requested additional info for inbound flights. Minor inconvenience.

Issued overnight...All good. Worth noting that my application went back to the bottom of the pile after they requested extra info, took three days extra from that date.

I uploaded a copy of passport bio for travel history and driving licence as proof of UK residency.

Does anyone know how long it generally takes for an employer to get back a letter of approval from the Ministry of Labor in response to a Form WP3 submission?

I ask just since this is the only thing at this point that could potentially delay me getting my Non-Immigrant B Visa such that I have to delay my flight. Thanks all!
