After 7 years of multi entry non O family visa and just expired just noticed that multi is now not a option and only single entry non O is the new which is bad for me as I leave and come back home every month. Carry a British passport and for sure can come in on VOA but for how long and how many times before start questioning me and they clearly see the amount of times I've been in. Just been to see my local immigration and even they are bewildered as to why this visa has changed. Seem to be making it harder for young family's to live here. Anyone in same situation?

Called Doha where I have had my last 6-7 years and they was same didn’t know why it changed.

Hopefully this will change soon seems like trying push young people to the elite visa.

Hello,

I am currently in the middle of getting my documents together to apply for the DTV in HCMC later this week.

Question about flight number for entering Thailand. I have not booked my flight from HCMC to Bangkok because I am not sure how long the Visa will take to process. At the same time I want to go to BKK as soon as my DTV is approved.

What is the best way to navigate this?

If I don't provide one and explain why in the cover letter will this be enough?

Or do I buy a ticket and if my DTV isn't approved eat the cost of changing dates or flights?

Thank you

All advice is welcome.

So I read in a few posts that we have to submit the flight number of a booked flight when applying for DTV.

Is this correct?

It seems strange to book a flight before you have an approved visa.

In our case, my husband is applying for DTV and when his is approved, myself & 3 kids will then apply with him as our sponsor.

Why would we want to book 5 tickets if we don’t know the visa will be approved?

How have other families done this?

Hey everyone, I have a serious question.

I recently got approved for my DTV, and I’m so happy about it! My flight is currently scheduled for February 24.

However, after getting approved, I received a court letter requiring me to be in the U.S. this April. Because of this, I’m considering changing my flight to June or July.

Will changing my flight affect my visa status or risk it being revoked? I don’t want to lose my visa, but I also can’t miss this court date. I just want to make sure everything will be okay.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi i am from the uk if i enter on a 60 day exempt can i go to the phillopines after 60 days for 2 weeks then return for another 60 days and get am extention for 40 days after that

How long until I should start chasing up???

Hey team

Put my application in last Saturday the 11th from

Australia to the Canberra embassy. (I’m in Brisbane Australia).

I know it’s only been a week, but I have a flight booked on the 5th of February.

I read through this group extensively before applying so I included many, many additional documents, hoping to ensure a smooth a quick process.

I still have just over two weeks, but I was expecting to hear something, according to what other people’s experiences have been on here. (Seems to be done within a week)

Am I worrying for nothing?

*UPDATE*

I was approved yesterday without any further documentation required. Thankfully

I intend to visit (visa exempt) for 45-55 days before leaving to Laos or Vietnam. Flying in from Aus. Given I'm not sure when I'll leave Thailand (definitely before the 60 days though) will I need an onward ticket of some sort? Potentially for both the Airline (Jetstar) or Thai immigration or both? Feel like I'll leave Thailand from Nong Kai by land rather than fly, although nothing is concrete atm. Help appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I'll be finally going to hanoi for the DTV next week. I kept track of some earlier posts but just want to know how long does the whole DTV procedure in Hanoi take recently? Will 2 weeks be sufficient? I wanna have an estimate to book accommodations, don't want to fumble last minute. Thanks.

Has anyone had luck emailing the local embassy to ask for expedited processing, giving a booked flight or hotel as a reason? Would doing this be neutral or could it hurt the chances of approval?

In my case, I have a month long Airbnb in bkk that I am currently paying for while I am waiting for the approval process in Cambodia since canceling it was not an option, so I’m actually paying for double accommodation right now. I imagine that would be fairly decent reason to ask for it.

Would appreciate advice or information if anyone has tried it.

Bit convoluted this.

We normally visit Thailand for 4 weeks, so as UK citizens (resident in France) the normal visa waiver thingy is fine. Last trip was 6 weeks and we did a 4 day trip to Cambodia in the middle, so again not a problem. We always entered and finished our holiday from Thailand so had the return flights booked when we arrived.

This time we are planing 6 to 8 weeks, with a possibility of a trip to Vietnam, and maybe Bali, in which case we would return to France from Singapore NOT Thailand. To give us the maximum flexibility, we were thinking of arriving in Thailand, but would book a return flight until we finalised our plan, so would not have a return ticket. Am I right in thinking the Thai immegration at BKK would not allow this, IE entering the kingdom, without a definitive ticket to say you are leaving?
