Just had my 90-day reporting rejected, this is the first time 90-day online reporting after the 90-day reporting in person

Can i apply for my friend in vietnam thru online? But i am in malaysia.

Is it possible to change the DTV:visa from

"Remote Worker" to Soft Power or Digital Nomad once accepted?

- Starting with "Remote Worker" and then if possible to change to "Soft Power" activity

Or is it all the same after accepted DTV:visa?

- And is there a possibility of getting a work permit to Thailand with the DTV? (Soft power festival work?)

Has anyone got dtv for muay thai? Any companies in chiang mai that offer a letter and 6 month program? Any info would be appreciated I have all other requirements.

With regards to the Jakarta embassy does one just walk in there for a visa appointment? No need to book in advance?

And can a UK Passport holder make the DTV application there?

Same questions for Vientiane and Yangon.

We are moving to Thailand end of November start of December then i want to apply for a NON-O visa.

I'm over 50 and married to a Thai wife and we have a house in Don Muang yet i'm not yet registered at this address.

So i asked the Dutch Embassy for Visa Support Letter for registration and my question is can i use

this letter as affidavit of proof of income as this visa support letter will state my nationality and my income and that way i not need to deposit 800K THB.

thanks for any advice in advance

hello everyone,

Apart the company registration and tax return i have no other concrete proof.

thank you!!!

I've tried getting the Visa via the cooking route. At first I just applied to a random school for an afternoon course in Phuket as I was told by the embassy here in Norway that there was no minimum time the course had to take in order to qualify. The embassy wanted additional documentation and and asked for a confirmation from the school that they were allowed to teach/run a business in Thailand. When I asked the school for this I was told to get in touch with their Sister school in Bangkok [members only] They will not provide the paperwork Unless you sign up for a 4 or 6 week course that cost 70000 THB or 100000 THB resepctivly. Anyone else found a cheaper cooking option? That doesn't last as long?

I’m applying for an education visa for my 15 year old step son (son of my wife). Got an international school lined up.

I’ll be applying for a Non immigrant B work visa and work permit and wife is eligible for a non immigrant O visa as a dependant of mine.

My question is does the 15 year old student require to have a parent on a guardian visa or can my wife be on the non O visa?

The non 0 visa would be a better option for us.
