Hey I just got married to a Thai national and I’m currently in the process of trying to get her visa and green card to move with me to America. I am in the military and we got married with proxy online and I’m in the process of getting signatures so the marriage certificate can be recognized in Thailand as well. Does anybody know the process or how I got about doing her visa to get her to move with me?

Approved Vientiane.

Get me out of this Horrible place.

I will write up the full details tomorrow.

Here is a laugh for you all as we approach the weekend. I know, opening up for the trolls, but as low as I now feel, it won't matter.

Had everything lined up for the DTV, waiting for stocks/investment release for the last piece of the jigsaw. Booked ready for the weekend in time for 30 day extension to finish. Email just arrived and due to various reasons the funds cannot be released for another year. I will have to reconsider my options

Good luck everyone. Maybe I will rejoin in a year... 😄 👋

My ? Is more opposite of most here. I have a female friend in Bangkok and she has tried 4x for a tourist visa and has been denied each time. Why is it so hard. What do we have to do to get a tourist visa. To USA. Thank you Didn’t know it was so difficult!

# Question About the 180-Day Extension Process

Hi. I'd like to inquire about the 180-day extension process for the Thai Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). For those who have already gone through this extension review, could you share your experience? I'm particularly interested in understanding how rigorous the examination is - is it relatively straightforward to get approved, or is it as stringent as the initial application?

Currently, I'm working as a full remote employee with an indefinite employment contract, which qualified me for the DTV. However, I'm concerned that my contract might potentially end before I need to apply for the extension. If the extension requires the same level of documentation and verification as the initial application, I'm worried my application might be rejected if my contract situation changes.

I'm aware that since the DTV program only launched in July 2024, there might not be many people who have completed the extension process yet. Nevertheless, any insights or experiences would be tremendously helpful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi,

I have recently applied for DTV from Pakistan . I was called in for an interview on 19th March where the visa officer asked me questions on my intent to stay in Thailand and my employment evidence. He also raised a little bit of concern on my no travel history in the past . Overall, interview went well.

How many days should it take for me to hear back from them ?

If approved, what would be the next steps ?

I have read about challenges at immigration in Pakistan as well as in Thailand while getting in or out on DTV,

Is that true ? What challenges can I expect to have ? What would be the solution?

Which areas should I focus on living in Bangkok, Thailand which are digital nomad friendly and have vibrant nightlife.

Any recommendations or information would be highly appreciated 🙏

Thanks,

Does anyone with DTV left Thailand to cambodia and came back again by border (Poi Pet) these days?

I would like to know the process and the difficulties? Thank you in advance.

Hey all,

is it right now possible to border bounce by ourselves?

My husband and I wanted to do a world trip, which ended in a longterm stay (6 months) in Thailand.

Now we are not sure if we stay really longterm and get a DTV or leave in 2-3 months.

As we have two dogs a border bounce by plane is not an option.

So we would drive by car and try to get a new visa stamp, without crossing with our dogs to avoid getting the export papers for them.

Is that currently possible, as many of you tell about struggles with border bounces?

Thank you 🙏🏻

This short video may clarify why some newly arrived digital nomads encounter challenges at airports, Thai borders, or when attempting to extend their visas at immigration offices.

A Thai legal expert indicates that the concept of the DTV is largely misunderstood by many immigration officers and is, for all intents and purposes, a "made up notion."

Application Denied!
