I’m planning to come to Thailand in January. Should I come on a tourist visa I get here or should I come without a visa and then try to extend it to 90 days? My plan is to turn my visa into a long-term marriage visa without having to leave the country in doing sois this possible?
I am coming to thailand on december 1st on a dtv visa, however the application is asking for a address and I haven't got my house yet because the agents I am speaking to are saying it is too early to reserve a house.
If I take an address in Bangkok (I am staying for one night before completing my travel to Hua Hin) can I just use that address for the visa application even if I will be there only one night?
Hi everyone, I applied for the Thai DTV visa and my application status has been showing “Pending Approval / Processing Pending Approval” for the past 5 days.
I was asked to submit additional documents twice, which I’ve already done — just wondering if this is normal?
•How long did it take for your status to change after this stage?
•Is “Pending Approval” a good sign, or are there still chances it could get rejected?
Also, can I travel to another country while waiting, or do I need to stay in my home country until the visa is approved?
Any insights or experiences would be really helpful 🙏🏼
I will be doing a third entry in Thailand in about 3 months this in total, would you recommend getting a safe entry service?
I’ve seen posts of people being rejected all the time here with visa exemptions.
Here is my recent travel history:
• First entry into Thailand: June 5th to July 16th (total: 42 days)
• Trip to Indonesia: July 16th to July 23rd
• Second entry into Thailand: July 23rd to August 13th (total: 21 days)
• Now traveling to the Philippines: August 13th to August 30th
I plan to return to Thailand on August 30th and stay for another 60+30 days, but I’m concerned because it would be my third entry in under three months, even though the total time spent in Thailand is around 63 days.
Okay folks, looking for an agent to handle USA visa app for my wife. We've been married years, I live here full time, we own land, have a business... All of the "right things". We failed twice and it is just a miserable emotional smog to go through the process and get declined. I don't want to do anything shady, but I'd like to remove the pain from the application process. So, did anyone here use an agent and successfully get a tourist visa to the USA for your Thai partner? Would you please refer me to the agent you used.
For all the "just get her a green card" commenters- buzz off. I don't wanna .
Hi, can you give me recommendations for getting a entry card, I'm in Dubai at the moment, leaving in 3 days, all the searches I've done they want to charge me,
Smooth first DTV (workcation) entry at BKK last night.
I was approved easily after 75% of folks in this group advised against applying.
This was based on my not having regular income but I'd like to encourage anyone in a similar situation who's considering applying to pay close attention to the OR clause in requirement 5.
Basically if you can showcase a professional portfolio (this can be assets, not just freelance work) that demonstrates "digital nomad status" then you can be considered if you meet the other requirements. You just need to show you actively work on it in a professional capacity.
It's worth noting that 'digital nomad' doesn't just mean freelance work with invoices etc.
Everything isn't black and white, if you have merit, you can be accepted if you make your case properly.
I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate site to ask the following question, I hope so. My 90 day Report is due soon, I just paid my rent, asked for a new TM30 for doing the Report, now the place where I stay tells me: "the system is down, we've been struggling since yesterday". Our company actually do it on our behalf, but we have to supply the correct documentation, etc, in order for them to make the TM47 application.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem lately, I really don't want to pay a B500 per day once it expires!
