London embassy just said my husband has to be a UK resident to apply for the DTV. Nowhere on the Thai evisa website does it say you have to apply from your country of residence. I've emailed them back saying this and that there is countless evidence of people applying with hotel bookings, and asking for more confirmation. Did anyone else get a response like this?

Thank you

I'm applying at the KL embassy, i picked medical which may have been wrong, but i've been undergoing PRP/stem cell treatments on my knees and shoulders with ample proof for the last 6 months.

Anyways, I believe I can get those figured out, however, other request documents such as... Other request documents ( Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc. )

baffles me. I currently do not have a lease agreement signed, as it would be crazy to sign a long term lease without knowing that i've been approved for the visa. How do i deal with this?

Embassy in Hanoi. I very appreciate group for providing information. I had ED visa and have done visa cancellation in Bangkok. I have applied my visa application 04-04-2025 got approved after 4 working days 10-04-2025 no additional documents were required. Here is my list:

- photo

- bank statement and my account balance

- passport scanned all pages and noted which page have entry stamp

- certificate from company(show my salary and which date i started work and work remote) and personal income tax for 6 months

To anyone who applied through New York: I am getting conflicting answers regarding the bank statements. Is it 3 months or 1 month?

Welcoming any othe helpful information specifically around applying through NY

Thank you

Has anyone applied for a visa in Manila? If so how was the process? Thanks

Been hearing mixed reviews on submitting a brokerage vs a bank statement depending on consulate. I have 150k or so sitting in a Scheab brokerage and I decided to try it rather than sell and move it.

I’ll keep this group updated on how it goes. I submitted through the DC consulate.

Hey guys,

After my visa application got cancelled, I don't have any other option except to try applying again. But at the same time, I'm running out of time on my Vietnamese visa — I’ll have to leave the country by tomorrow at the latest.

Which embassy should I choose between Penang and Jakarta?

These would be the best options for me because my country doesn't require a visa for up to 30 days.

Thanks for your help!

I was informed that I can process my Retirement Visa from my home Country, has anyone done this? Have knowledge on this?

Hello, I saw that the revenues on the bank statements should be circled in red. Did you print it and circle it or did you do it on your PC?

Update :

Came back today (6 Apr) to bangkok. The immigration officer saw my reentry permit (I had ED before) and she asked if I want to use the DTV instead, I said yes and got the stamp. 🙏
