Hi all :)

Has anyone experienced applying for the DTV when not in their home country? We are from the UK but currently visiting Turkey for a month, then heading to Malaysia then heading to Thailand for December (travelling family). I was thinking of applying for DTV but read I need to be in my home country (I will be applying online). Just wanted to ask if this was really a thing or whether it doesnt matter?

Thanks!

I'm doing my application for London, is a proposed flight itinerary and a quote for travel insurance suffice ?. I have put in my letter that I will purchase once I have the visa.

DTV question - I'm from America but am traveling Europe. I'm currently in Albania. What could I use as "Document indicating current location". I think that's something official from Albania. I didn't get a passport stamp when I arrived.

Has anyone landed on Samui with the new DTV? If so how did it go? I am flying from Changi to Samui instead of BBK tonight and wondered how the immigration was there with regards to this new visa. Thanks 🙏🏻

Thank you for all you do. I am on a non-imm O visa with extensions based on marriage. I am due to renew my extension in October, after which, as always happens, I expect my passport will be stamped "under consideration". During the 30 days my extension is "under cinsideration", before I can get my yearly stamp, will I be able to leave the country? I am trying to schedule a trip abroad and want to understand my constraints. Thank you.

Hi All.... I would like to go to Thailand regularly for 7 months. I.e. for approximately 210 days. Can I use DTV Visa for this?

Example: I will get a DTV Visa and fly to Thailand on October 1, 2024. In March 2025, I will cross the land border and enter Thailand again and stay in Thailand for another 1 month, after which I will fly home? Next, I will return to Thailand again on October 1, 2025, and I can do it this way for 5 years, during which time will my DTV Visa be valid?

My 60 days runs out at the end of this month. More expensive I know but I have decided to fly to KL from Khon Kaen. For a few reasons. Lao requires a visa even for only a week. Malaysia are more welcoming with 90 free days. And also I'm looking forward to some Malay and Indian food. Going by what I have read in this group everyone has overlooked Malaysia.

Hi everyone,

Planning to be there soon. Google tells me I need to walk about 30 minutes from the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel to ICONSIAM. But my guess is that there should be boats to just cross the river in a few minutes, which Google doesn't know. Is this true?

Thank Group for all the great info here. My First Question: I am waiting for final approval of my LTR Visa. Am I going to be ok with a one way ticket from US to Thailand? The airlines have checked for a round trip ticket at the beginning of my last two Thailand visits.

Thanks Again!

Good afternoon everyone! I have a question. My retirement visa will expire in early July, and my passport will expire on late September. If I renew my visa first and then renew my passport, is it ok for me to just use these two passports to travel in Thailand or even outside Thailand? Thanks in advance.
