Got my bank account this morning with no problems whatsoever (well, one tiny one that I'll mantion later), at bangkok Bank Meechok branch (Chiang Mai).

We were told that even though I had got a residency certificate, they did not require it, as my non-o visa and marriage certificate were enough..

My little problem...... I now have the book, the bank card, and I can access my account online with no problems. However, I cannot access through the mobile app, as the faciaL recognition required insists that I have a face covering....... It's my beard...🤣😂

Guess it couldn't all go to plan, so the 30 mins it took was good. Unlike the flights where we paid for 16 hours and got another 18 for free through Beijing...☹

Hello, I'm French and I'm planning to apply for a DTV as a dependent in Hanoi. Our marriage certificate is in French and the Embassy told me that they need a Notarized translation. Where can I get a notarized translation? Thanks.

I'm up to renew my 1 year non o Thai wife visa. Are the requirements the same as the first time? Is it a 2 step stamp process? Meaning I go to drop off documents etc and then come back for stamp? - for Chang Watthana Bangkok location

I want to submit for my girlfriend via dependent category but we don't have any marriage certificate. How can we do the process?

I was approved for the DTV out of the Los Angeles office, on my second pass. First pass was rejected because of middle name versus middle initial on application. I applied under the remote worker category.

I just saw someone post about adding a dependent after being approved. My wife is currently on the one year renewable retirement visa. We would consider adding her as a dependent of mine. I do travel back and forth to the states often. She stays in Thailand for much longer periods of time, but the 180 day max would not be an issue as we do a lot of travel to nearby countries.

I know I can research on my own, but can anyone give feedback on the process of adding her to mine and anything we should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

DTV Success Story

I was granted a DTV visa from the consulate in Taipei. After being granted, I then submitted for my wife and 2 year old son, both as dependents, which were also approved! I applied under the workation category. Along with my passport and visa application, here are the other documents I submitted-

-3 months of bank statements

-letter from my employer stating I could work remotely and all of my work was for companies outside of Thailand

-Employment contract

-Employers Article of incorporation

-Because my bank statements were long, they also asked I submit a separate statement from the same bank account which only listed the deposits from my employer. I get paid on a per project basis, so I think they also asked for this because the payments come in on random dates so it would have been a bit tedious for them to review my entire statements to find them.

-savings account statement which had 502,000 bhat in it

-Passport photograph

For my wife and son I only had to submit their passports, visa applications, photographs, birth certificate for son, marriage certificate for wife, copy of my DTV visa, copy of my passport, and the same financials I submitted for my visa. I was told at the counter they actually probably wouldn’t need the financials since I was already approved for my DTV but kept them with their applications just in case.

My visa was granted within 24 hours of applying. The next day I submitted wife and son’s docs and visa was also granted within 24 hours. All in all my experience in Taipei was phenomenal! I know stipulations could change anytime, but for the time being, I highly recommend the Thai consulate in Taipei.

I have been issued a non O-A (retirement) visa from Canada - once the documentation was submitted it took only 1 working day to get approved!

My wife (also Canadian) and I will arrive into Krabi early November.

As this is my first time arriving with this type of visa, what will I need to present to the immigration officer at the airport - I want to be sure to have everything close at hand. I assume the printed O-A visa, valid passport, Health Insurance certificate?....anything else?

Also, my wife does not qualify for her own O-A visa, so she will apply for a non O in Thailand as a trailing spouse/depentant - is the marrage certificate all thats required for the non O for her?

Thank you for your help.

Anyone applied to add partner/husband to DTV

Any special requests you have been required to provide

Applying in Australia Sydney office for my husband

Any one know what is required to show proof of your dependents relationship

I just submitted application for DTV Visa in Vancouver Canada consulate, called to make sure I had all the right documents, including a letter I wrote explaining all my business activities, the person on the phone said it was OK to write your own letter explaining all your business activities and that my business was online/digitally, he also said it would not take longer than 2 weeks, others here have said it took 2 business days, so after I get my DTV I can apply for my wifes, with her banking information and our marriage certificate, hoping all goes well
