My DTV was approved and I'm going to apply for my husband and children under mine. My husband is currently working in the US but will not be working when we go to Thailand. When filling out the application, do I put his current employment or that he is unemployed?

Hello, I am planning to travel to Vietnam. I currently have a 90-day Non-O visa and I will return 15 days before the visa expires. I will also obtain a re-entry permit.

My question is whether it is better to apply for the one-year extension of stay before traveling or after I return, or if it does not matter. I am asking from a practical point of view, especially if someone has been in a similar situation. From a legal point of view, there should not be any issues.

Thank you.

Question : dependents with DTV

Hi everyone,

Can I check if anyone has tried travelling to Thailand on a dependent’s DTV while the main DTV holder is not traveling to Thailand yet?

My wife is the main DTV holder while me and our kids are dependents on her DTV (All 4 of us have our DTV approved)

We are thinking of flying into Thailand first and my wife will fly back a few weeks later.

We will prepare all the documents we submitted and also the min. cash amount as they seem to be clamping down on that as well.

Has anyone been stopped or turned around before in such similar scenarios?

Does anyone know if there is a new process for entering Thailand, when coming into BKK airport from Cambodia, even if you have a visa? I usually book fast track (normal), just to skip the lines. However, was informed by the company that individuals arriving from Cambodia are no longer eligible, as they are required to utilize a “special” line.

I entered Thailand last week, got the usual 60 day stamp. I stayed 3 days and then flew to Vietnam for 10 days. After this, I will be returning to Thailand for the rest of the holiday for approximately 2 weeks before flying home.

My question is, do I need to do another TDAC on arrival back to Thailand?

My passport has about 2 years validity left in it.

If i get a 5 year SP visa and it needs to get transferred to the new passport, will I encounter problems with immigration and proof of enrollment in a course ?
