I’ve read that visas for retirees are getting stricter and more enforced. Would the same restrictions be applied for other visas when applying from abroad or online? During the week over 10k student visas got questioned. Stories I’ve seen online.

As an Indian, can I apply for DTV from Laos, Hanoi or Bali?

Any success stories? Heard we can only apply from our home country.

Has anyone applied for primary DTV in one country while their spouse is physically present in a different country? Are there any Thai Embassies that have accomadated this complication?

I want to get a DTV from a soft power dental work application, here's my situation:

I recently got a crown done from a Bangkok Government Dental Office. I need to do another implant and crown on the other side and asked the doctor if he could give me a letter so I could apply for the DTV.

Pros - The letter from the doctor is on the office letterhead, is signed by him and has the "official" stamp. This is a government dental office.

Cons - The letter is pretty general saying that I got a crown done and that I plan to get an implant done on my next visit, and a crown after that. Unfortunately there are no specific dates/timelines/payment plans.

I'm heading to Vietnam in a few days and am thinking about applying from Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi.

I was also thinking about applying from Taipei since I read on here that you could talk to someone first before paying the application fee to see what your chances are. I also read on here that Taipei plans to go online application only in January 2025, and unfortunately I can't be there by then.

Also, I'm turning 50 next May so maybe I should go for the retirement O-A Visa instead?

Any thoughts or advice? Do I have a chance? Thanks!

My spouse is Ghanian and there is no thai Embassy in Ghana. Looks like London are refusing her application because she only has 2 year tourist visa for UK, even though she is in UK. How is someone meant to apply in this situation ?

Thanks for advance for your answers.

Has anyone had any success applying for a multiple entry tourist visa (evisa) whilst outside of Thailand (but not in country of origin and/or travelling in other counties).

My passports are British and Australia.
