Can someone explain in further detail what exactly sponsorship letter I need to apply for the DTV visa? I work in sales and under 1099 contract so essentially I work for myself so not sure how a sponsorship letter applies in this scenario.
Hi, I am 51 and my wife is 38 and we will be moving to Thailand in January.
Trying to get my head around which visa to apply for.
My wife will be my dependent.
For the OA visa, do both my wife and I need to have 800k thb in a bank account or, as it is a joint application, is it sufficient to have just have 800k thb in 1 account. Also, does it have to be in Thai Baht, or can it be in a foregn currency but the equivalent to 800k thb?
Can the OA visa be extended every year for a year in Thailand? Or do I have to go back to my home country to procure the letter of no criminal record and medical certificate?
For the OX visa, is it for 5 years or 10 years? On the Thai embassy site it says 5 years each time, total 10 years. Does this mean that after 10 years I would have to switch to the OA visa?
I am eligible as a UK national. My wife is a Russian passport holder. Is she eligible as my dependent?
And again, for the 3 million thb in a bank account, can this be in a foreign currency or does it have to be in THB?
Thank you so much for answering these questions and I apologise if they have been asked before, but I couldn't find any link.
My name is Kelly Cusick, I am here on a DTV visa and I am trying to get my son a visa. He has been here on a tourist visa, I was scammed by an agent who I was using to get an education visa for my son. She held his passport for weeks and also scammed us out of 600 dollars, because she held his passport and did not return it my son Brennan has now overstayed his visa. He is 4 years old and enrolled at kings college. I want to know what should our next steps be. We went to immigration on the 29th to try and sort it out they said to come back today and they would do the visa stamp but the officer we went to said they can not do it because the visa needs 15 days left on it. What should I do?? They do not seem to know the answer either.
Probably a bit of a strange request here! Partner and I are on DTV and each have two children attached to our visas.
My daughter’s best friend wants to come and live with us - which is fine for us and for her parents, of course!
The two teen girls will be traveling with us for at least half a year without school enrollment - and as her parents will not be joining us (except maybe for a couple of short visits), how do we go about her visa?
Should one of her parents get a DTV and then just leave her with us when they go? What other kind of legal caregiver documentation should we have in place, like in case she gets hurt and needs a hospital?
Does anyone know if I can apply for my wife's dependent DTV visa while in we are in Thailand? I have heard of someone doing it recently but I'm not sure if it's possible.
I recently got my DTV visa after 10 working days (Vietnamese national) and applied for my spouse (British national) straight after.
He submitted his application on Sep 18 and got the visa in 5 working days. I don't think dependent visas necessarily take longer. In my case, it probably depended on the nationalities 😅.
The visa was issued today - on a Sunday so it's definitive that the embassy does work on weekends.
I used the same account on Thaievisa website for both our applications. No need to create a separate account for the dependents if you can't be bothered.
I won't go into details unless s/o asks more specific questions. Just wanna clarify some stuff I personally wondered.
Please stop spreading news that Hanoi is getting more difficult, and you don't need an agency doing it for you either. Just research, be well prepared, and you'll get it! Good luck everyone 😁
I’m a US citizen currently working remotely from Ethiopia & am trying to apply for a DTV. I’ve two dependents (wife & kid) that are both Ethiopian citizens. How do I go about this?
Do I apply as if I’m living in Ethiopia (in which case the application apparently is handled by the consulate in Niarobi) or do I apply as if I’m living in the US. If the latter then would the consulate in the US also handle the case for my wife/kid although they aren’t a US resident?
