I just re entered Thailand after my 180 days expired. I went to Singapore for a 4 day holiday.

No issues at Thai immigration at the airport.

I presented a copy of my DTV. And passport that was it. Stamped for another 180 days.

No Questions

Hi all,

does anyone have experience applying for dtv or retirement visa from South Africa?

I'm based in Cape Town, no Thai embassy. Closest embassy is Pretoria.

Is physical presence at the embassy required or can everything be done online?

I just received approval! Applied through Jakarta. 8 days total.

Quick question: do I need to physically go to the embassy in Jakarta before I can use the visa? They sent a pdf with the e-visa. I see no mention of needing to go in person and in the information it says: Airlines may ask for the details of this e-mail so they can carry out checks to allow you to board the plane.

It sounds good to go, however, I heard from a friend you must pick up the visa in Jakarta. Chatgpt says the same. Can someone confirm if it’s required? I’m currently in Bali.

Hi. I intend to apply for DTV visa. Can I do it myself or should I hire a lawyer? I am currently not in Thailand.

Can you do walk in application for non immigrant b visa or is it e-visa only everywhere now?

My US passport book is filled, I only have 2 pages left, though it doesn’t expire for another 5 years. I made an appointment at the embassy in bkk to get it renewed with a 52 page. Which form do I print and take to the embassy, DS 82 or DS 11 .. im getting conflicting info online.

Thanks in advance .

If my first application was cancelled for mysterious reasons, would it be wise to apply again at same embassy or different? And are the chances of rejection high if the previous application was cancelled?

What has been your experience if your application got rejected/cancelled before and you applied again?

Thanks

Please forgive my ignorance but I notice a lot of these posts are regarding applications from embassies in countries. Is this a necessary step? I envisaged this could all be done remotely online without the need to physically go to an embassy. Apologies again if the answer is obvious and I just got confused.

Hi, I heard that some requirements are different from embassy to embassy, is that true? I have seen that some embassies require a 6 month bank statement of the 500k baht, others only the 500k baht without mentioning the 6 months history. And I think other things may vary as well?

P.S. I might have some Italian written docs (like company incorporation files, company tax returns etc.), do I have to "legally" translate them I guess? Even if I apply from Italian based embassies?

Has anyone applied for a DTV visa once and been rejected, then applied a second time at another country's embassy and was approved?
