Hello,

I am on a Non-B visa and my wife and two kids are under a Non-O, all with extensions valid until October 31st 2025.

Question is after applying for the new extension can one leave Thailand during the "under consideration" period before we get the yearly stamp?

We are currently planning to have some autumn holidays abroad all together for the first time and want to avoid any restraint.

Thank you

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 🙏🏼

During the waiting time of DTV Submission at Hanoi, can i visit to Halong Bay, Sapa? Is it ok?

Submitted: 17 Nov, 10:00 pm (Sunday)

Current status: Pending Document Check

Any suggestions please 🌿🌿🌿

I am going back to Immigration on later this month to get my 1 year extension of stay.

So I am in the "Under Consideration" stage of it all.

But before this I have been requested to be a travel-buddy for someone who has never flown before before I get my stamp.

It would be a 1-2 day thing and I would be back in good time before I am supposed to go to Immigration to get my finalized stamp.

Would this be a problem?

Hi I applied for the visa online in a country that allows non-residents to fill out the eVisa. Currently documents being checked. Can I leave this country and go somewhere else for a few days, or do I need to stay here until the visa is approved?

I will submit my application on May 7th for retirement visa. It takes approximately 15 days I have been advised. I don't intend leaving Thailand until 27th May and I have been advised that is ok. As far as travel within that 15 day period it will be necessary for me to go to Sakon Nakhon for 2 days and return to Hua Hin where the application has been submitted. Now my simple question am I allowed to make that journey within the 15 day period. I have heard people say you can't go anywhere for 15 days as immigration may check you live at the address given
