Would appreciate any updates for DTV Soft power medical visa upon the 180 days experience .

Any problems like proof of further treatment ?

Also any recent experiences of applying for soft power medical visa

Does anybody know What happen if i change the company after some time? Do i need new dtv?

I am still deciding over a Single entry Visa or a second Visa exempt after remaining 59 days this year. But my question is, when asking for the Visa or filling TDAC can i put my real exit date ? I plan to stay around 88 days, so i will ask for an extension near the end of the 60 days. Flying in Emirates, they will allow me to change my return date for a (big) fee, so i could buy a ticket with a return in the 60 day interval and then change. But is it necessary to havbe this kind of expense ? Immigration will understand i am able to extend those 60 days . Thanks

I know this is the DTV group but thought I’d ask as no doubt this I’ll apply to plenty in here.

How many times has anybody gone in an out of the country by air on the 60 day visa free with the 1900 thirty day extension without being questioned or denied. I seem to be seeing a lot of people saying they were questioned on the second time and others saying they managed it many more times.

Cheers

Hi! I work remote, and am planning to get the DTV, but my employer keeps laying people off. I don’t want my salary AND my living situation to be based on the same unreliable employer for the next 5 years. If I was to get a 5 year education DTV, what education programs can I get into that have a low hourly requirement, and ideally a flexible schedule? I would need to plan it around working full time.

Thank you! I’d love any info you have.

Hi folks,

I will be submitting my application later this week, but I had a question regarding one of the fields on the pasport info page.

In the field "place of issue" would I write exactly what is seen on my pasport "dia syd" or should I write the full name "department of Internal Affairs Sydney"?

Thanks for your help

Now i try to receive allowance for working in Thailand and my company say yes after four years fighting but only for 25 working days in a year. I try to contact the "Thai Konsulat in Munic" if they accept also a guarantee instead of the 500.000 deposit but i receive no answere. I try also to talk to them via phone but it is impossible to receive someone on the phone. And the risk that they deny my visa as a workcation and loose money is too high. And when it happen they don't give you the reason. So i will give up now. Sorry for try to work in Thailand. I will wait now for my retirement.

Lesson learn: sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.

Hello folks ...

My current Thai wife visa extension of stay is permitted up to 2 August 2025.

My current US passport expires in May 2026.

Would you confirm that I can apply for my visa extension with my current passport, however, the extension of stay will be permitted up to my passport expiration date in May 2026?

Thank you kindly ...

Hi all. I entered Thailand (via Bangkok) a couple days ago (UK passport holder so just getting a visitor visa at the desk). I noticed that the immigration officer used their personal iPhone to take a couple photos of her screen (don’t think pictures of my passport itself were taken) but noticed it and thought it was unusual as never seen this before. All other interaction was completely normal and was stamped and let in without issue. Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience. For note, this is my first time back to Thailand in 13 years.
