I applied in Jakarta this Monday and the status changed to pending approval this afternoon. However, I received an email saying the application was rejected. Anyone has similar experience? I am really confused. No document was requested

Hi all,

I’m on a Thai dependent visa, so I know I cannot work in Thailand.

My question is: if I keep my Thai dependent visa but work remotely for clients from EU, while temporarily staying in neighboring countries like Vietnam and Laos (typically on tourist visas, about 2 months each), are there likely to be immigration issues in those countries or when I return to Thailand?

I’m asking because I’ll eventually need to switch to a DTV and will need to show income from those months.

Has anyone here had experience with this situation?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Has anyone ever been denied entry into Thailand on a DTV, e.g. because of not taking part in the soft power activity anymore or not meeting the 500k requirement anymore?

Can we open a bank account in Thailand with DTV visa and if yes then which banks anyone opened the bank account in Thailand

Ok, dreading to make this post for a while, but I assume it is always good to ask . So I finally got my act together (mid) last month and submitted the DTV. I filled everything out as it was supposed to be recommended, I even put together an 80 page portfolio out of nowhere.

I was already set back like one week because I asked something about the e-visa form which prevented me from filling it out correctly. After one week I got a six word response, no hello, good bye, in black letters on blue background. It looked like a 90s video game. That was already superweird.

Anyway, I tried to do everything by the book and I applied in Hong Kong, I have enough money, earnings, no extensive stay, overstay in TH, blabla.

Yes, I have also read the relevant sections here in this group, I think at least three times, I am also 100% sure I filled out everything correctly, but anyway I seem to have been a victim of that page 2 to page 4 conversion that I just forgot about. (There was only one number missing, I'm perfectly sure that was not me).

Nothing happened for two weeks, then I got this nice standard letter.

So, yes, put on all your snarky comments in there, I am over it. It happened already like a few days ago or something. After crying in bed for two days, revisiting all my life's failures and misfortunes and whatnot, considering other options (still do) I mean what can you do, life must go on, I guess I'll give it one more try:

So my questions would be these:

* (I guess there is no appeal process or anything)?

* I guess I can apply again, also under the workcation category, cos it was nothing substantial. I would strongly prefer applying under that category cos that's what I do, like I don't want to be questioned about some cooking course or whatever...?

* If it is strongly recommended I can apply in Hong Kong again, but if it's any possible, I would like to avoid that for several reasons (don't want to cluster up the thread more than I already have). I mean my main bank account, permanent resident, broker etc. are all in HK. I don't keep a permanent home in HK anymore though. I could rent another apartment on the monthly or something, but even that would cost me quite a bit more than mostly anywhere else. ?

* Is there any other, maybe friendly embassy/consulate somewhere, where I don't need to be a resident, don't need to have company (I am self-employed, stock market trading, I have enough history, income)? I am somewhat flexible with regard to location...

Thanks for reading and maybe any helpful pointers

Hello,

Anyone who got their visa in Paris?

I just had my application rejected because of my name. I put my birth name because the name box on my passport is the same, and they told me I had to put my birth name + EP. Married name.

Rejected for that, not even a correction request, I'm devastated! And I have the three applications for my husband and children that risk being rejected, but my flight is next Monday.

I called the embassy, no response, I wrote, no response.

I don't know what to do except go tomorrow morning.

Has anybody ever gotten a thai E visa at the last minute? Trip is Monday but the E visa has not dropped and it was applied over 15 working days now!

Flight was paid for 😩

Has anyone had issues re-entering Thailand after they left on day 92 without doing their 90 day report?

Hello ! Anyone who got DTV with soft power courses experienced any issues at airport immigrations during visa runs ? Like the officers question about new courses and how the course is doing because normally the courses are 6 months long. Is it required to enroll new courses after each one expires just to extend my period of stay? i’m going to skip soft power option if it is so. It’s going to be costly.

Hi everyone,

I applied for the 5-year DTV as a Cyprus tax resident (Non Domicile) and company owner, but mistakenly selected UAE as my current location because Cyprus has no embassy and I thought that field only chose the processing embassy.

I submitted all Cyprus-based docs, then got asked to provide UAE documents. I need to know if I can fix the existing application to reflect Cyprus instead, or if I must reapply (and pay again).

Also: I am a Non Domicile (60 days) in Cyprus. I have no residency card—can I use rental agreement + utility bills + tax residency proof? And is a shareholder certificate enough to prove my business status? I'm not employed, my only source of income is through dividends being a shareholder and director of my company.

Did anyone have this situation? What's my best collection of papers to get the visa?
