Hello everyone, I left Thailand a week ago for Malaysia where I applied for a non-immigrant O visa (Thai wife). Unfortunately the process is longer than I expected. So I returned to Thailand with a visa exemption. My question is this : Can I return to Malaysia, collect my visa and then return to Thailand with the said visa ? Someone already did that ? Thank you

DTV application in Penang, Malaysia. Applied for a dependent visa for my daughter on my husband’s remote worker DTV.

Timeline: applied March 13. Approved March 24.

Visa fee: 1,600 MYR ($360 USD)

Nationality: American

We were emailed twice to request further documents: once on March 19 for a copy of father’s passport + a new visa photo with no shadow. Then again on March 21 for another new visa photo that was clearer. (We ended up taking a new photo on our phones of higher quality, since the other one was a scanned copy of a photo taken in a studio)

We were emailed the approval letter, which we printed and entered Thailand through Phuket a few days ago with no issues. No documents requested or questions asked at immigration upon arrival.

Hi, do I need to submit the 90-day report 90 days after I last entered Thailand, or 90 days after my most recent extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national?

Thank you

I'm needing to complete a 90-day report for my children, but mine is not due the same date as theirs. The question is, to complete my children's 90-day report, do I need to sign the form, or do they sign for themselves (they are 11)? Also, we usually send a messenger to complete any 90-day report and only ever give the passports and filled forms. So since my own reporting is not due yet, only my children's are, do I also need to give them my passport or a signed copy?

Can an Indonesian stay in Thailand on a long-term basis if they are married to an American who living in Thailand on a retirement visa? She is not of retirement age herself. Or is the only option for them to come for 30 days and then leave and come back for 30 days again, endlessly?

Looking to go to Hanoi or Penang to complete my DTV. Anyone know the current days to approve at either? I feel like my file is complete as a remote worker.

Also at either Penang or Hanoi, what are there bank statement requirements ?

Thank you in advance.

On the Thai embassy website for the DTV file it asks for the departure date. What should I indicate? 180 days after my arrival or 5 years ?

Hey!

I applied for a DTV (workation) from Taiwan. I got a follow up email, asking for a Certificate of entry and exit date From National Immigration Agency.

I uploaded the stamp on my passport as evident but I guess it's not enough.

Any idea as to what they want me to add?

Thanks!
