Being dragged of to immigration right now. They said I haven’t provided proof of residency within 24h after arrival to Thailand. Even though I did at airport and at the hotel I stayed in initially and paid for it at both places. Now they say I must pay a fine of 2000-10000b .

Is this correct? Please advise

If my company (LLC) is from the US, and I am British but currently in Cambodia, can I apply in Cambodia using the hotel address as proof of residency? Or do I need to fly back to the UK to apply?

DTV Approved in 4 BUSINESS DAYS from Vancouver embassy with an additional document request.

Applied: Monday September 30th

Approved: October 3rd

Category: Soft Power Medical Appointments

Finances: No 3 month seasoning period provided to them, just a print out of my most recent balance.

Process was simple, maybe easier than the last time I applied for a metv. I applied with only a print out of the page of my most recent balance through my RBC online banking for one of my accounts, and I also just for good measure threw in a most recent statement from my Thai Krungsri bank account balance, which I got through the app. all of this only showed them month of September. I used the ID Photo app and just took a selfie and got rid of the background instead of paying for passport photos to be taken. I applied with 4 medical appointments spaced out. 3 for the same thing, all follow ups, and 1 consultation at Samitivej hospital. All I did was send a quick email with the appointment dates I wanted and asked for them to send me the appointment slips by pdf and they got them back to me very fast. For proof of physical residency I just provided a scan of a letter notifying me my drivers license was up for renewal.

They requested another document clarifying my medical appointments, which I found a bit strange and vague because exactly what the appointments were for was on the appointment slips. I called the embassy and they looked at my application and told me I was fine to apply with what I sent in but they just wanted to make sure it was clear to whoever they sent it to for final approval. So all I did was write a signed letter explaining what they are for, and provide a certificate and appointment slip from earlier this year, which these appointments are follow-ups to. So I would recommend just writing a letter explaining what the appointments are and why you are doing them in the first place to send in with your application, as to not delay the process. But regardless, mine was approved super quick.

I had also spoken with the embassy prior to applying, and they told me I could send my appointments to a certain email and they will check to see if they would be considered approved before you even apply, which I did. If you want that email I'd be happy to give it to you.

Hope this helps anyone!

Does anyone on here have a yellow house book and if so can you tell me the benefits please.

3 Month tourist visa | ID Card

Hello together, when I apply for a 3 month tourist visa they ask me for a "Document indicating current residency" (ID-Card) but my ID card is expired and I can't apply for a new one because I don't have an address in Germany anymore.

They say I have to prove my residency, so they know which embassy is responsible for my application.

What Document do I upload in this case?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to those who enlightened me as to what the METV and SETV are. I see that fir tge METV you have to provide proof evidence of residence in country you are applying from. What woukd they look for. I am retired and live with my daughter. I gave her my property so I have nothing in my name. I have a bank account, pension, car insurance and a utility bill in my name at my dsughter's house. Would this be sufficient?

Thaievisa question

I have applied for my LTR(P) visa through thaievisa. go. th to be issued by the Thai Consulate in Munich, Germany. I have the approval letter from BOI. The application now says additional document is requested but I have no idea which one and I have not been able to reach anybody and they don't respond to emails.

Does anybody here know how to provide additional documents? I can't upload anything anymore after I made the payment.

If anybody has experience maybe even with the folks in Munich please advise.

UPDATE:

Apparently there was a glitch in the thaievisa email system. The folks at the consulate were aware the email didn't go through but didn't know how to fix it. They tried to call me ONCE. I missed that call and that was it.

Eventually I decided to involve a visa agent (Thai national based in Munich, highly recommended). She seems to have a direct line to the consulate and sent them the missing document (they needed proof of residence).

I received my visa today (by email, go figure).

My husband and I have just applied on line for a 60 day visa. We normally get it from Hull UK but that is now closed. We are in Spain and will fly from Madrid 31st December until 20th March.

Yesterday my husband received an email saying its been declined because we can't supply a copy of a utility bill which we've never had to supply before. We are renting here in Spain so any bills are in the owners name,

So the lady said we can arrive and we'll get 30 days thought it was 45? Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do?

We normally split the holiday and fly to Kuala Lumpur and get another 30 days but will they let us back in?...and then go to immigration and get another 30 days we need 81days.

We are pensioners been travelling to Thailand over 20 years so a bit shocked with the decline.

Asking for a friend:

When applying for ED visa (US passport) in Malaysia what documents meet the requirement for proof of residency?

It’s worded : copy of reservation/confirmation of accommodation for the whole stay in Thailand.

My friend is in negotiations on a new apartment and will be living with a Thai. The landlord does not want to put my friends name on the lease. (Friend is American) so wondering. What she can take for her ED visa application to meet this requirement.

(She has already done a previous ED visa in Lao so she must go to Malaysia this time.)

Today a gentleman from France living in Spain asked about applying for an O-A Visa from the Thai Embassy in Spain.

The O-A Visa (used for retirement) is ONLY available from YOUR HOME COUNTRY. The only exception may be IF YOU CAN PROVE RESIDENCE in another country where you are living.

In the Frenchman's case, he was not in France and wanted to apply for the O-A in Spain. However he cannot prove residence in Spain. Therefore he cannot apply for the O-A in Spain.

He must return to France to make application.

When commenting was closed the OP was not pleased it was closed.

But.... We do not make up the Thai Immigration rules. The Foreign Ministry does. And those rules are at times varying in use by Thai Consulates and Embassies worldwide.

That also is true inside Thailand... from among the 70+ Immigration offices nationwide governed /operated by the Royal Thai Police
