Good day. If this question is not for this group, please forgive me and skip...

I made a mistake with booking my flight, and now I will have an 1 day overstay. What will be the best way to resolve this error?

What’s my chances of obtaining a DTV in Vietnam if I can only show 2 pay months pay slips and contract from my current UK employer that I have been working for 2 months and if I put the money in my account a few days before ?

Hi guys. I got an e-mail from immigration that my 90 days report will soon be due. However, I just got back to Thailand a couple of weeks ago and I thought it all started over the day I returned. Should I ignore the e-mail and go there 90 days from my arrival ?

Just a quick question - I'm getting ready to apply for a DTV from the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles and I was just wondering if I need to show a purchased plane ticket to Thailand when applying? Thanks.

Applying for a Thai drivers license:

Where and who should translate my German drivers license? The embassy writes:

A conversion of a German driver's license into a Thai one can be applied for in Thailand. Detailed information on the application process can be obtained from the Department of Land Transport.

Does this mean the German embassy has no role in this process?

For 90 day report, do we need the printed TM30 form? Or is it enough that our landlord filed it?

My family and I would like to apply for the DTV online.

What's the best / correct approach:

1. Submit my application first, and only once it's been approved, submit my wife's and daughter's application afterwards?

2. Or can we submit multiple - main and dependent - DTV applications together in one submission on the same day?

Can anyone here share some pointers? Many thanks in advance 🙏

Hi everyone! I’m applying for my DTV and in the travel information section of the online form it requires to fill out flight number, accommodation details and Thai phone number. The issue is that I don’t have these info available at the moment given I’m planning to move to Thailand at the beginning of October.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thank you in advance for your help.
