Any success stories from Pakistan 🇵🇰?

I just did my first 90 day report in Ubon Ratchathani and I was completed in 5 minutes. I handed my completed TM47 and passport to first desk, they told me to go to the next officers desk. They checked passport and stamped a receipt for 90 days. There was NO CHARGE for this. I took a heap of documents with me but didn’t require anything else.

Ubon Ratchathani Immigration is the best. They made this very simple.

DTV Approved!

I just had my application approved from the embassy in Jakarta.

Submitted on: 3rd December

Approved on: 14th December

Wait time: 11 days total (6 business days)

Submitted all the docs requested for the workaction route and additional docs based on the information I've seen this embassy requesting additionally just to anticipate the request.

Happy to guide people through my application if you want to send me a DM.

I exited Thailand through BKK new automatic doors and I haven’t been given any DEPARTURE STAMPS.

It’s like I never left the country…

While I’m outside…

Normally when you exit they stamp with the departure date so that any future agent reading the passport can see you exited before your visa expire.

Is this normal ?

I just received my DTV yesterday at like 5:45pm from HCM . I applied Nov 27 , received Dec 12.

Was requested more docs day 1.5.

The whole thing gave me anxiety toward the end. I waited in HCM first 12 days and was going crazy . Flew to Dalat and wish I had gone sooner. I would reccomend to go travel and be patient. Dalat is incredibly beautiful place . I was well qualified for the DTV and had what I needed. I’ve never over stayed never even once in over 20 years visiting my favorite country of Thailand.

This was muey thai DTV.

Provided Savings account ( 6 months of statements) 3 times more than min.

They still asked for proof of income or am I unemployed .

They wanted a Letter explaining how I will support myself and what I will do beyond 6 months coarse .

And yes every passport page with time date stamps and all pages even blanks , as others have mentioned.

I have rental income from

My home Country enough to support myself and I showed 6 months of checking account deposits in addition to the 6 months statements of savings account .

I explained all that they asked in a nice professional letter.

Good luck people

Hello to all. Has anyone applied for DTV in Manila. If so pros and cons. Thank u in advance

It's been 1 month and 6 days...

This sucks. I applied to the New York embassy on Nov 6, on the 26th I changed to 'Pending Approval' and now it's Dec 11 and nothin has changed. How long is this going to take?!

Well, that was hard work completing the METV. Hopefully it’s approved or £150 down the drain.

Still trying to obtain bank account. Was able to open account with GSB (Government Savings Bank) but found out today that there will be a problem transferring from USA bank with Wise app. They also told me when I opened the account that I couldn’t access their mobile banking app to check deposits, balances, etc because I wasn’t a Thai citizen but I could check at ATM. I asked about mobile banking website and they said yes. Today they said website was no longer supported. Went to Krungsri bank and they couldn’t get their scanner to read chip in my 2 month old passport. They also said I couldn’t use their mobile app or their banking website because they aren’t available to anyone over 70 (seriously??). They didn’t even answer my questions about Wise transfers and annual reporting. Going to try different branch of Kasikorn with my immigration residence certificate in hand and my wife not after being rejected because she wasn’t able to exactly sign documents the same due to dementia. Does any of this crap get easier??

Why does the immigration ask whether you have a girlfriend in thailand? If you have DTV, is it a good idea to say that you have one if they pull you aside? I don't get the logic.
