how about if I want to change from OA retirement to O retirement? I will have to leave the country and come back after the visa expires right?

Apply O retirement during my visa exempt period.

I already have THB800,000k in the bank.

Since we’ve been staying here for 2 years do I still need to show funds transferred from a foreign account?

Can someone tell me about how long the 30 day visa extension process takes in chiang mai immigration office? Seeing if I have time

Tomorrow morning and would appreciate an experienced approximation… 🙏 kha

Is there anyone planning to go to Ho Chi Minh for DVT visa application in September next week?

I want to book appointment for individual but there is no slot available.

However, the slot for group (more than 3 people) is still available.

If anyone is interested to join me, please comment below and I’ll DM you. 🫶

Who else is being tortured by the same questions?

I came here to learn and contribute but I feel more stupid for being a part of this at all.

People are literally posting their exact experience at a specific embassy/consulate and a couple hours later another person is asking what do I need for that embassy?

And countless people who can’t access a search engine. They simply don’t know ANY of the requirements.

I was an early supporter and mistakenly invited a lot of friends.

Peace out superstars. Good luck on your journey.

HCMC Thai embassy slots seems to be all booked up until October. Does anyone know if they are moving their services online after October? (DTV)

Just got DTV approved!

USA-based. Washington DC embassy. Single-member LLC. Contract video editor.

Applied: August 15

Documentation requested: September 4

I forgot to include a letter stating my name, job description, digital nomad/remote, length of employment. I will attach pic of the template I used. I also included how I do my work remotely.

Approved: September 5

Funds:

- The full $16k wasn’t in my bank account until the beginning of August so I didn’t have an official bank statement showing the balance. I went to my bank and got a Letter of Standing showing my balance. I also supplied screenshots of the last month of my bank account (nothing redacted).

- I sent copies of a couple invoices, the invoice receipt after being paid, screenshots of my business bank account showing the payment being deposited (highlighted), as well as, highlighted deposits from my personal banking showing the transfer of payment from my business account to my personal.

Proof of Work:

Sent in my resume, screenshots of emails from clients stating the nature of my work (for clients I didn’t have contracts with), contracts from other clients, and screenshots of my portfolio:

Additional documents:

- I started my own business in April so I provided screenshots of an email between me and a client where I stated I was switching from my personal email to my work email.

- Certification of Formation

- Official document that contained my EIN

Further requested documentation:

- In the letter I stated my name, my job title, the scope of work I do, how I perform my work digitally, as well as stating that I was a business owner and referred them to the page in my original document submission that showed proof of ownership of my company.

I’m attaching the template I used for the letter of proof of work. I did not use the bottom part stating my current clients though.

I’m applying for my husband and daughter’s dependent visa tomorrow. Will let you all know how that goes!

Thanks to everyone here who answered all my questions in the process! Happy to answer any questions if I left anything out! 🙂

Dear all,

Anyone can help please? I applied Non-O 90 days retirement visa in Chaeng Wattana, Bangkok on 17 July 2024. I have asked immigration officer, they said the earliest date I can renewal the non-90 days retirement visa into 1 year was 45 days before that non-o visa expire. But as per below photo, it mentioned “After 60 days start count today : 17 July 2024, You can summit 1 year visa at counter L”. I am puzzled whether I can really renew my visa on which date (45 days or 60 days after my application date), anyone have similar experience please?

Thank you.

Update: Contacted college for letter to end course. Letter was sent in a day. Went to the immigration office and cancelled ED.

Then took a trip out of the country. Stamped out with zero issues.

Also no fines when cancelling said visa.

I've just been approved for DTV in France, which took 1 month! My situation: freelance digital marketer.

First of all, I filled in the application form on thaievisa (flight, hotel, proof of residence and bank statement for the month of June). Then after 3 weeks they contacted me again and asked me to create a portfolio, all merged with Avis d'Insée (proof of auto-entrepreneur status in France), a text portfolio (1 Word page) explaining the nature of my work in French AND English, my last invoices for the last month, last month's bank statement, and also a screen copy of the platform on which I'm registered to interact with clients and see my activities/profile).

So I provided these documents (about ten pages merged into a single pdf document) and voilà, there was a 'pending approval' status that lasted 2 days and I was approved.

Hello, I work for a company in Dubai which allows me to work remotely from Thailand. I’m currently in Thailand, where can i apply for DTV? I know I need to be outside of the country, so which is the best embassy nearby to apply for DTV?

Maybe with less queue / easier process, based on your experience? Thanks in advance
