Hi all. I am trying to extend my visa exemption (60 days) through the e-extension option on the Chiang Mai Immigration site. I understand I still need to go into the immigration office. I'm just not sure what "Current Visa Sub Category" as I can't see anything listed there on the stamp in my passport. Any ideas?

For annual Non-O retirement extensions at CW, does immigration accept the black & white printed version of the 12 month bank statement requested for free via the Bangkok Bank app and sent to your email? Or does one need the 12 month bank statement on original blue letterhead requested at a Bangkok Bank branch for Baht 200 which takes a week to process? Many thanks.

Good morning all, I'm leaving Thailand tomorrow for a month and its the first time that I'm leaving on my Non o. As its only a single entry I'll need to apply for a re-entry permit. Ive been looking on Google and its says I can get this at Suvarnabhumi after security, I've been through security here countless times and I can honestly say I've never noticed anything between security and immigration. I was hoping someone who has done this at Suvarnahumi could offer a bit more of a detailed explanation as to where to do it. Thanks!

First entry on my DTV via Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. Gave my passport, boarding pass and my cute little passport-size laminated DTV. The latter seemed to raise concern of the officer, she pressed the yellow button and I was pulled aside. Two other officers came, one checked the visa on her mobile terminal, another one invited me to a closed desk. Scanned my passport a few times, scanned my fingerprints twice (obviously something wasn’t working properly with the computer) then asked for TDAC. Checked the printed form, retyped my accommodation address, and stamped me in for 180 days.

Generally nice, easy and calm process.

Thanks again for this group for helping me out on each and every stage of the process of obtaining the visa!

Has anyone done the Thai DTV interview via video call?

I applied for the DTV through the Soft Power Muay Thai course, and my application has been stuck on “pending approval” for weeks.

I called the Thai consulate handling applications from my country (even though it’s not located here), and they said they’ll contact me soon to schedule a video call interview.

Just wondering has anyone done the interview online? What should I expect?

Hi! Can my husband travel outside the country while his Non-O marriage visa extension is still being processed?

We’re planning to apply for the 1-year extension in early October, and I know it usually takes a couple of weeks for immigration to approve it. Just wondering if it’s possible for us to travel abroad during that time.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello, I’ve been on a DTV for around 7 months but have now gotten a job opportunity, I’m wondering if anyone has any experience converting the DTV to Non B within Thailand, my lawyer seems to think I need to do a border bounce and come back on visa exempt to then convert it, but I’ve read that you can convert it from a DTV as it’s technically a multiple entry visa… Let me know, thanks.

I just had my DTV (workcation) approved from Canberra, Australian Embassy.

Applied July 1st, asked for more documentation (proof of being able to work overseas) on the 4th and approval came through last night (30th of July).

A few things I've seen people ask about:

I had a sponsorship letter from my parents

I am a freelancer and wrote a letter on behalf of myself with my own company letterhead.

There was some good advice in this FB page, so thank you!

kindly asking after I submit my additional documents how many days do I have to wait to get my visa approved,for those who have been asked to provide

On Wednesday l was asked to upload 2 additional documents and l did. On Thursday l signed in into my account and on the status it keeps saying 'request document' when l click the red dot there is no place to upload but it is just blank. What does this mean?
