If I applied for a 12 month non O multi entrance visa. & was thinking of changing it to a retirement visa would I have to apply for the retirement visa on my first entry into Thailand. Or can I apply anytime within g to he 12 months. TIA

I applied in Nepal embassy monday 17th.. application status went to “processing, pending approval” same day..

it is now 20th Thursday.

I have my fingers crossed- I see for some people it’s taken a few days and for others it’s been a few weeks..

Soft power application - I hope it all goes well 😮‍💨

Hi all, I’m looking to apply for a DTV Visa and my Mother is looking for a Retirement Visa. We have used an Agency that have been less than helpful, which has led both of us to lose our first applications due to admin errors (we have the required finances, and other paperwork etc respective to what we are applying for).

Can anyone recommend a more reliable agency to support our applications, please?

I know we could submit ourselves but a trusted partner would help ease our minds whilst things are a little up in the air.

Thank you in advance

I unlocked advanced features of TrueMoney using my DTV, so I can make personal QR code payments. Does anyone know if there’s a limit on the number of free payments each month?

My passport was issued by the French Embassy in Bangkok, and for the “Place of Issue,” I entered it exactly as written on the passport (letter by letter).

Hi all, I’m looking for a bit of advice 🙏🏻 I’ve just arrived here recently on an tourist Evisa, my intention is to apply for a non immigrant O visa . I looked into agent fees & thought them to be touch high.

I’m happy to try & fo it myself if possible.

Do I just go to immigration in Jontiem & explain & let them tell me what to do?

Naturally I’ve no bank account here but have a rental contract, Thai phone number etc.

I’ve no problem meeting the monthly 65k I believe 😇 that you need transfered in rather than the lump sum ( if possible).

It’s understanding g the process here that seems a bit confusing ( for me).

Experienced help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

Success

Previously I had applied with a Thai botany course. This time around I realized I want to get back into Muay Thai for personal reasons. 💪🍎

And yes, I PRINTED THE VISA and am back in Thailand now with a 180 day stamp. No more cool passport stickers but it’s all good. 😌

Applying for my DTV in Hanoi next month.

I am able to stay with a family member in Thailand thankfully. But how do I prove this to the embassy please?

Hi. Doing the money in the bank for a non O retirement Im told to put 100 in the bank and get the letter of confirmation of funds.

Do I put the 100 in before or after the letter ?

Thanks.

A visa agent told me that the class alone would cost 26,000 bhat, though attendance optional. So I would have to pay the school this amount every year for the five year DTV visa?
