For Hanoi successful cases, mind to share how long your 500,000Baht has sat in your account for?

Thank you !

I’m planning to apply to ALA Language School and already emailed them to begin the application process for their education visa. They replied saying I have to apply in person, which surprised me—I thought I needed to apply before leaving the U.S.

To be sure I’m not missing anything, I reviewed the Digital Arrival Card form. I wanted to fully understand what’s required. It asks for the visa type and visa number, but obviously, I won’t have a visa number until I go through immigration.

Since this is an arrival card, it includes questions about the purpose of my visit, my visa type, and visa number—which makes me wonder how I’m supposed to fill those out if the visa is only issued once I arrive. Do I leave it blank??? Any help to how I can apply to ALA would be helpful.

Hey guys. I can't find definitive answer and it's really annoying as it's nowhere said it can't be done like described below.

Is it okay to go abroad, apply for DTV and come back on visa exemption then wait in Thailand for DTV?

I asked two visa offices and one said "yes, you can come back" and other "no, you must stay abroa until approved". 🫣😅

Hello friends,

I applied for DTV as remote worker at LA consulate mid March and around 10 days later got a request for more documentation. It’s been more than 30+ days now after submission with no update. I emailed them already 3 weeks post re-submission and still no update on the application. Still says ‘pending document check.’ If I get accepted, great. But, if I get rejected, can I walk into a consulate in Taiwan and apply there as a US citizen? It’s unfortunate that the LA consulate has taken as long as it has because I’ve heard from others that the Thai consulates in other parts of the US are processing at a much faster rate. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hi,

I am applying for a DTV and just got asked for more information. They are requesting both a company registration and DBD. I received the DBD form from the school, but they don't know what else would be required as the paperwork for the DBD form is their registration according to them

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 things, or what else they could mean as company registration? Thank you!

I am interested in applying for a retirement visa. Do I need to do that once I arrive in Thailand?

A friend said I have to open a bank account in Thailand. A few years ago, the requirement was $25,000 US for 6 months.

Can anyone advise ?

DTV holders: Did you have to pay the visa fee for you and your dependent, AND pay meet 2x the income requirement? Just want to verify/hear you alls experience.

Any DTV success at Nairobi or any other Embassy

What is the process of applying for dependants on the visa? like spouse or kid?

I read that it is possible to include them but i dont see how this is done. How to add them to an existing DTV visa?
