I submitted an evisa non immigrant O that I thought was good for 6 months but it was approved for only 60 days. Can this be extended? It cost 80 usd. I'm not sure if there was any advantage over the 60 day visa free that can be extended 30 days for a 90 day stay. Did I waste 80 dollars?

I have received my DTV today, two weeks after I had applied. Here is my experience :

I’m a business owner in Belgium, resident in Belgium and spending most of the “European wintertime” in Thailand where I have a condo since many years. I fly 2 or 3 times a year to Thailand and stay each time 1 to (maximum) 3 months.

Usually I apply for a Multiple Tourist Visa, and occasionally a Single Tourist Visa if I have an extra trip to Thailand outside the 6 months period from the MTV.

I have never had an overstay, never used the “visa exemption” multiple times within a year. And I have Thai driver’s licenses and Thai bank accounts.

My application :

- applied for DTV E-visa on 22nd September from Belgium; selected “workcation”.

- 2 days later the status -can be checked online- changed from “checking documents” to “pending approval”.

- this status continued for about two weeks until I received my E-visa by mail on 7th October. No other documents were asked.

Documents that I uploaded for the application :

- copy of my passport

- recent picture similar to pictures you would use for passport/ID card/…

- proof of current residency; official document from the local government. In Belgium we can get this online within a couple of minutes. Document was in Dutch en had digital signatures. No wet signature or stamp.

- address in Thailand; I have a condo in Phuket and entered that address.

- flight ticket; I have booked a flight arriving in Thailand end of October, returning end of November.

- bank statement of a Belgian savings account on my personal name. I uploaded the statements from the last 6 months though a specific period was not asked. The balance was never below 25.000,- euro (about 950.000,- THB), exceeding the requested 500.000,- THB all the time.

- I had made a portfolio to prove my status as “remote worker”. In that portfolio I started with a presentation of myself. Who I am, what I do/did for work, the average time I spent in Thailand since 2012, why I can run my business as a remote worker and why I think the DTV is the most suitable visa for me.

I added the most recent annual accounts of my company. This includes the balance sheet, showing a decent profit, and the shareholders with 100% of the shares on my name. All documents were in Dutch.

And finally I added a copy of the title deed of my condo to the portfolio.

I was getting nervous when the application stayed on “pending approval” for two weeks. Wondering if they would ask for some kind of labour contract or invoices, or reject my application as my next stay is only 1 month. But -luckily for me- I got approved without further requests.

Hello since the SEA embassies or consulates are all going to e-visas do you think you can apply for a DTV visa from here and exit and enter to activate it TIA

TR Visa turnaround time on [members only]/ Quick note, my last Tourist visa of 60 days only took about 12 hours for them to approve. I applied yesterday afternoon and this morning I received email approval! My last two TRs from earlier this year and late last year took about a week each time.

I am a US resident and citizen living in Texas and I specified the Royal Thai Consulate-General, New York as the office closest to me.

Has anyone applied for an E-Visa and not received approval before your departure date (to Thailand)? If so, did you recieve it by email after entering the Kingdom and were you later able to use it by converting to, or doing a visa run? Thank you!

Hi All,

I am working on an application for a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand through the Thai e-visa site. I am a US citizen but not currently in the US. Can I still apply from outside my country of residency? And secondly, regarding proof of accomodation, do they require proof for all 60-nights?

Thank you in advance. Any help is appreciated.
