I am in Nusa Penida, Bali. I received Visa interview email today around 4:30 pm local time. The scheduled time for the interview tomorrow in Thai Embassy, Jakarta is 9:30 am Jakarta time. I can't attend the interview tomorrow morning because of the unavailability of the transport (Penida to Bali ferry). Did anyone ever reschedule their interview?

Updated:

I have rescheduled the interview via email.

Question:

Can I leave Indonesia after the interview is done? Or do I have to wait here until the approval?

Update:

I attended the visa interview today. At the end of the interview, the interviewer mentioned that I must not leave Indonesia before I get an update, and they might ask for more documents. But after 5-6 hours, I received the visa approval email.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the information. I used a lot of information / helpful documents shared by other people in this group. Special thanks to them.

📌 Question about applying for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa)

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for some advice 🙏

I hold a French passport and I’m planning to apply for Thailand’s DTV Digital Nomad Visa.

I’m not sure about one thing:

👉 Do I need to apply only in my nationality country (France)?

👉 Or can I also apply in a country where I hold a long-term resident permit?

👉 Or is it possible to apply at any Thai Embassy/Consulate worldwide?

If anyone here has personal experience with this, I’d really appreciate your insights. Thank you so much!

Quick question for any UK expat who are receiving state pension in Thailand, is it correct if you ask the UK state pension department to send your pension direct to a Thai bank account, you will lose any uplifts to the UK state pensions in the future.

I’ve been scrolling through this group and learning a lot! There’s something I wanted to confirm. I have a USA passport. Currently in Thailand on visa exemption and have been planning to go back to the US to apply for DTV visa in a couple weeks.

I’m seeing that people are applying in countries other than their home country. I was under the impression that I had to be in the US to apply. But does this mean I can go to Vietnam for example and apply there?

NEWS on updating TM30 in Chiang Mai -

If you return to Thailand and are living at the same address, you do not need involve your Thai landlord in updating your TM30.

Immigration will simply 'update' /'refresh' your TM30 for you without landlords help.

This was my experience June 2023 and the same for two others with me. You never know when things can change, but just thought to update.

ALERT! CONSULATES PLAYING NASTY GAMES!

Any Experience dealing with any Consulate in the region? we have been told by a couple of them that if I am not a national here I need to have Residence in the area they serve (Cambodia, Thailand...), however they dont tell exactly what that means or how to get it, all they keep saying is to send them photos of our passport, visa and/or any other document to proof residence; to what they say: "it is not what it is needed" and stop replying...

Hello,

I am on a visa exempt entry, admitted on 29 Nov and valid until 12 Jan.

I am applying for a 30 day extension at BKK office (IT Square Laksi Plaza).

Q1. Can I apply as early as next Tuesday, 22 Dec ?

Q2. I have been staying at a condo rented via AirBnB since 1 Aug (90 days on STV, bounced, 45 visa exempt entry, bounce #2, 45 visa exempt entry #2).

The landlord did not file a TM30. Should I then self-file the TM-30 using As guidance the advice given by Tod in his 13 July 2019 post?

I will also print the AirBnB contract and last 2 monthly receipts (or should I get all receipts since August ?) payments and take them with me just in case.

Q3. Given that I have been in Thailand since July 19, in and out, should I also fill in a TM47 or does the 90 days filing rule only applies when you do more than 90 days at a stretch ?

Thank you kindly for any input on the above questions.
