Has anyone in Australia applied for a workaction DTV recently and supplied their girlfriend's address as where they will be staying? Any problems encountered with this or additional questions asked (e.g. need copy of house book, ID card etc)?

I am going to get her to right a short letter of invite, but not sure if it needs to be handwritten and hand signed (as opposed to signed digitally which does not prove it came from her) , or whether it is better to be in Thai or English?

TIA.

Does anyone know if you can keep extending every 6 months for the 5 years or you can only do 6 months in a calendar year one time?? Would love some clarity on this issue ....

Don't know if I dreamed it but are the exchange company's in thailand fussy about the condition of gb currency when exchangeing for tb

I’m 67 years from Ireland.

In previous years I have been able to obtain a Non O immigration eVisa with 1 year validity, multiple entries and 90 days per trip. This was based on a support letter from my long standing Thai girlfriend (we are not married) of over 15 years. Multiple entry to allow me visit my son in Australia whilst in Asia Pacific and re-enter Thailand a 2nd time.

This time when I applied for the eVisa they issued a single entry Non-O with only a 3 month validity. The visa doesn’t state the number of days per entry. I’m guessing it’s only 60 days or perhaps 30 days.

Is the former option no longer available? Can one “appeal” or request a change to an eVisa? Thanks.

Looking to apply for a DTV with using my an appointment slip from BKK hospital for my annual physical. Anyone see a problem with that?

Keeping US Number -

Hey folks, coming over for good in October - I need a US number for ONE reason only - 2 factor authorization!! Literally every day, for banking, Paypal, government, practically anything I log onto here, they send a text to my US number so I can log in. Of course I will have a VPN when I arrive, but how do I keep a US number [JUST to receive texts, won't be making or receiving calls with it!!]. I will keep my phone from here, and buy one there with a Thai number - how can I go about making/keeping this one as my "US phone''? Thank you

I have been using the 800 000B deposit method for the last five years of visa renewal. I would now like to withdraw those funds after my recent renewal two weeks ago. I have for the last two years been running the monthly income method concurrently with this in mind. Am I safe to now withdraw those funds do you think and use the income method at next renewal. Many thanks in advance

Hello! We've been in Thailand now for 2 months. This group has been so helpful. We are going back to Canada in a month and we will apply for our visas and get ready to settle in Thailand permanently. I would like to fly from our home in Vancouver to London for a week or so before flying on to Bangkok. Will that be a problem? Thank you

My fiancé is arriving from Australia on 23rd January and stay until end of July 2024. We are getting married in Thailand mid Feb. Due to other travel he didn’t have have enough time to get a Tourist Visa in Australia.

So he will enter on visa exempt and then we will apply for a 30 day extension.

1. My first question is how long after his arrival can we apply for the extension?

After the extension we will go to Penang and a get a 60 day Tourist Visa.

2. Can we extend the Tourist visa another 30 day?

We will then leave again and re enter on visa exempt for the last month.

3. Will that work to get another entry visa exempt?

He has a flight booked to leave Thailand in 22July.

I am also Australian.

I am just about to move to Chiangmai having received a five year OX Visa from the Sydney consulate in Australia. Can someone please clarify for me if the 90 day reporting is my only obligation.
