Has anyone done a Non O Retirement visa from Hong Kong? Kindly share the details please and how long it took. Thank you.

I applied for the non OA visa through the New York consulate on July 6, and it's still being processed. My flight is in about 8 days. Should I be concerned?

Hello everyone I am applying for my DTV remote worker visa from Vientiane, Laos. I arrived on the 26th, completed and uploaded all relevant files to the Thai Evisa portal by the 28th. Then on the 29th i wasnt able to pay at the consulate because there were too many people in line but was finally able to the next day on the 30th.

On the 31st I received email asking for additional documents and to re-upload another one. Then the next day on Aug 1st I received email for appointment at the Thai consulate for the 13th! A lot faster than I had hoped. Taking a quick holiday around Laos now before I return to Vientiane for the interview.

Is there anyone who has been through this interview process? And if so please share some of the questions asked would be greatly appreciated!!

Best of luck to everyone out there going through the process! Make sure your documents are clear and well put together!

Los Angeles Thai Consulate DTV soft power approved in less than 2 hours! Seriously could not believe how fast that was…after reading it had taken some 4 weeks or more! Now all set to go Sept 21! Thanks all for the helpful info!

Has anyone done the Thai DTV interview via video call?

I applied for the DTV through the Soft Power Muay Thai course, and my application has been stuck on “pending approval” for weeks.

I called the Thai consulate handling applications from my country (even though it’s not located here), and they said they’ll contact me soon to schedule a video call interview.

Just wondering has anyone done the interview online? What should I expect?

Hello Guys, great group deffo took some tips here.

I just landed in Laos vientiane today, and submited the application now. I will go tommorow 9am pay at embasy for the application.

After paid, normally when should i be expecting an invitation for the interview here in Laos? Any recent people maybe here

Docs all good and solid track record , its just i must go to an event in EU, and i am not sure if i will make it if its over 2 weeks here 😅

Just a quick question - I'm getting ready to apply for a DTV from the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles and I was just wondering if I need to show a purchased plane ticket to Thailand when applying? Thanks.

Hi All, Would like to check on the procedures to Apply for Non-O Visa in Vientiane.

Was checking for information in the group and found out that they no longer accept walk-in applications from Jan 2025. Visas Application had to be submitted online on the New E-Visa web.

I am planning to head over Vientiane Next month Aug to apply for Non-O Visa.

So now, I can only apply online at the E-Visa web online when I am in Laos, and print out the application once it’s confirmed and pay at the Vientiane Thai Consulate and wait for about 2-3 work days for approval?

My last application was in 2024, which the old system requires us to book a appointment slot online and walk in submit the documents and collect after 2 work days

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I am applying for the DTV and just curious if anyone has any issues applying for it online. Also, could you provide the correct url? I’m afraid I’m going to go to a scam link. 



I actually live very close to the consulate. Do you think it would be better just to go in and handover the documents in person?

 Thank you for your help. 

I’m interested how someone else interprets this response for my application question on amount of months seasoned the 500k needs for DTV HCMC consulate… I see it as only the final balance needs to be 500k.?

Please submit your transactions latest 6 months in your bank account and ensure your closing balance not less than 500,000 Baht. (it can be from any bank, in any currency)
