Question for anyone who applied in HCMC (online), how many business days did it take? Did you travel to Vietnam on a one way and but a ticket back once you were approved?

I’m in TH now and want to apply in Vietnam in January. Looking at flights but not sure whether to book a one-way or return and if return, for how long.

TIA 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi what should i fill if the website of e-visa ask me to show the intended departure? i only books for 3 days hotel, is it okay?

Do you have to enter a proposed entry date into the application because I will be applying for mine and if/when it's approved I'll then be apply for my Wife/Spouse DTV then we will both make plans for a date to fly in (from Australia).

Hi there, me and my partner want to leave Thailand and fly home on the 5th of December, once we extend out Visa however we will still be slightly short on days(90 day visa)

If we had proof of our flight booked home when we do our extension, do you think they would allow the additional days?

I believe it’s around 4/5.

Any help would be great

Advice Needed – Visa Situation

I applied for a DTV visa in Italy, unsure if it would be approved, but I had already booked my flight. So, I entered Thailand on a visa on arrival.

A week later, my DTV visa was approved.

Can I fly to a nearby country and re-enter Thailand from there?

Or do I need to fly back to Italy and return to Thailand from there?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 🙏🏼

Maybe it helps someone. I applied for my DTV back home in Germany in Berlin. I submitted a bank statement (6 months), my registration of my company (Gewerbeanmeldung), my tax return and a short letter. I explained that I am a ghostwriter and find most of my clients on a platform. I included a screenshot of my profile and a table of my finished projects.

After four days I was asked for scans in good quality (no photos) from my passport, my picture and my registration certificate (Meldebescheinigung).

Two days after I flew to Georgetown and waited there and checked the status of the application daily. After nine working days I got my visa. Never received the email (some issues with my mail address), but downloaded and printed it from the website.

I changed my original travel plan. I wanted to go to Da Nang (the flight number I put into the application). Instead I took the train from Malaysia to Padang Besar. The officer looked at my visa, asked no questions and started counting. His biggest issue was to count the 180 days right. He took no fingerprints or a photo, just stamped my passport after awhile and gave it back to me with a smile.

I have just being approved (DTV) by the Spanish Embassy.

My experience has been as follows:

1. Bank Statements: I provided bank statements for the last 6 months for at least 500k baths during the period.

1. Payroll: I submitted my last 2 payrolls.

1. Employment Contract: Although I mentioned that I was going to work on projects as the clients demands and was not on the payroll, the company provided an official letter confirming this situation.

1. Purpose of Visit: They asked for a letter explaining what I would be doing in Thailand. Since I work for a Corporate Incentive Travel agency, I explained that my goal was to get to know the country on a firsthand to recommend Thailand as a destination to our clients.

1. Additional Documents: I also included the rental contract of the house we had rented + health insurance by AXA that my husband and I obtained + medical certificate confirming that we do not have any diseases required for the OA non-immigrant visa, which my husband is also applying for at the same time.

Uffff so release with the news.

Question; My purpose is to stay for 8 months in Koh Samui, so to extend for 2 more months (6+2), should I change my visa after the 180 days? Should I stay as a tourist? Thanks in advance

Some help on UK Thai E-Visa please.

Applying for non o immigrant based on visiting family (Thai Wife) with intentions of changing to Married visa once in Thailand.

On-line E-Visa Application asks for "Intended arrival date" and "Intended departure date" does this have to be less than the 90 days the non o Visa is valid for, and does my return flight need to be within 90 days. TIA

Hello everyone!

Is there anyone who applied for a DTV visa online with Kazakhstani passport? How long does it take to consider applications and approve them?

My husband and I have quite a situation. We got the tourist visa for 2 months, stayed for a month, then heard about the DTV visa. Left Thailand (because you need to be out of the country in order to apply) and went to our homecountry. Applied here online on Aug 12th (Monday), it's been 4 days and still no answer from the Consulate. The problem is - we have a flight back to Thailand on Monday Aug 19th😭 We overestimated the process of applying, thought it'd take less time, but here we are, waiting for any news and not knowing what to do with our flight. I see here people are sharing their experience with DTV and most of them waited for their approval for around 2 weeks🤯 We can't be here so long. Shall we cancel our flight to Thailand? Or can we still go even if DTV is still processing? Please help🙏

The Consulate is not picking up their phone (as usual), and not responding to our emails.

Hello, this should be an easy question (maybe...)

How early before my current extension expires can I apply for a new one?

I have a non-o Thai wife visa extension expiring on mid november and I intend to travel abroad around october / november, so I am wondering if perhaps I could do the visa extension a bit earlier than one month before expiration, like 45 days or so?

Doing the calculation considering the one month process before the final stamp, getting the extension earlier (like late September) seems to be the option that fits my travel plans better but I am not sure if there is a rule about it or not. (Bangkok immigration)

In case I didn't explain correctly, here's a summary of my situation and my tentative plan:

- extension of stay valid until 14 november

- want to travel abroad from 28 oct to 28 nov

- want to apply for visa ext on 20ish sept, so pickup date should be around 20 october

- is it too early?

Thank you in advance 🙏
