I made a trip to Indonesia, after emailing Thai consulate multiple times confirming it would work, and just got rejected.

Has anyone had success adding dependents for a non-immigrant-O visa in the last few months?

I have received emails from Los Angeles, and Jakarta Thai Consulate saying “Only the holder of a Non-Immigrant OA or OX is allowed to have their dependent applied for a Non-Immigration O.”

Hi guys could someone please tell me do most immigration offices except bank statements and pass book updated the day before you do your 1yr extension

Does Thailand have a residency requirement on her visas?

I know that long term visas from some countries have a residency requirement per year. I have not found any information about this in Thailand. The only thing that is remotely close is the need to file tax if you stay in Thailand for more than 180 days in a year, just wondering.

DTV approved!

Submission: 1/13

Pending document check: until 2/3

Pending approval: 2/3

Approval: 2/3

It took 14 business days for the turnaround in Sydney. There was also 1 public holiday in between.

Everything changed yesterday going from pending document check to pending approval. Then 3 hours later I got my approval email (8:30PM).

Big thanks to Tiger Eye for being so helpful and responsive! And everyone in the group for sharing their previous experiences 🎉

Hi everyone, I’m asking on behalf of my partner (he doesn’t use social media) and would really appreciate any experience sharing 🙏

1. Does mental health counseling / psychiatric treatment count as a valid medical reason for a DTV (medical soft power)?

2. Usually, is a licensed clinic or counseling center acceptable, or does it need to be a hospital?

3. Any recommended mental health clinics or hospitals in Chiang Mai that can issue English medical documents?

We’re planning to apply through the Thai Consulate in New York. If anyone has experience applying there under the medical category, insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Where can I find the step by step guide for visas?

The difference between all the visas?

& the requirements?

As well as moving guides?

I'm planning on staying 6 months in Thailand or 2 x 3 months a year. Can anyone help me with what visas I would need? I'm 61 from the UK. I'm just struggling with all the different visas. Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m Iranian. I came to Bangkok one month ago on a tourist visa to look for a way to get a longer-term visa.

Someone suggested the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) to me.

I know I have to leave Thailand to apply, but as an Iranian, which country should I go to — Laos, Vietnam, China, or somewhere else?

How long does the whole process take?

While the application is being processed, can I return to Iran, or do I have to stay in the country where I submit the application?

Also, is a personal interview required, or can everything be done online?

How much does the visa process cost in total?

And finally — is Bangkok a good place to live for now, considering that I don’t have a job yet and I just want to apply for a visa so I can later find work there?

Thai cooking schools normally offer 6 to 12-month courses. On their pages, they always recommend 12-month courses for higher credibility in visa application.

Shall I opt for 6 or 12 months? With 6 months I could fail the visa application?

Hey ya'll,

I'm looking into some options for long term Thai visas, anyone out there who's knowledgeable and willing to share some advice? Are there any good, reputable agencies who can offer assistance?

Thanks
