Hi all, I'll apply for 1yr extension for non immigrant retired Visa O - 90 days. Do you experienced in Phuket immigration office how long from submitting application does it take to receive it?
I have a couple of questions regarding the choice of Embassy/Consulate.
1. I applied in Frankfurt/Germany and got a request for addiitional documents four days after I initially applied. Since I submitted the documents, it's been almost three weeks without any update. Has anyone else here gone through Frankfurt in recent weeks/months? What are your experiences?
2. I thought I have to go through Frankfurt, because it's close to where I live, and they are responsible for handling request from people in my region. Since there is a lot of discussion in this forum about choosing a different embassy/consulate for applying, I would love to understand the way this would work. Are you guys then travelling to the place of that specific consulate and stay there until the decision on the DTV has been made? Thanks in advance!
I’m a Canadian currently in Thailand, and my passport was stolen while I was in Europe before re-entering Thailand. I already have a new passport, and my DTV visa is electronic — it was not a physical sticker, and I still have the DTV approval email, receipt, and e-Visa PDF copy.
When I entered Thailand on November 6, I was given a 60-day tourist stamp on arrival, but I’d really like to continue using my valid DTV visa that’s linked to my stolen passport.
I wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully:
1. Re-linked their electronic DTV to a new passport after a theft or renewal, or
2. Had an agent or immigration office assist with this exact process/ what documents you needed?
Documents I currently have:
• photocopy in black and white of the stolen passport ID page and all pages with stamps before exiting Thailand to go to Europe in September
• Police report (original + translation)
• New passport copy
• Entry stamp (Nov 6) and TDAC form
• DTV e-Visa PDF, approval email, and payment receipt
• TM30 (current residence)
• Supporting docs: passport replacement application + proof of payment, updated lease with my new passport number on it, most recent bank statement, outbound flight and updated Muay Thai invitation letter with my new passport number on it.
Has anyone successfully done this, or know which immigration office or visa agent can handle it?
Otherwise, if you had to renew your passport and your DTV was linked to your old passport - how did you fix this?!!
Any first-hand experience would really help me decide whether to try re-linking or re-apply from scratch.
On my Third document request from KL, applying via Musy Thai, I have already submitted a 6 month statment with a balance of £17,000 and have been asked for 3 months ‘certify by the bank’. I bank with NatWest and they don’t offer such service? Any advise
If I understand the process for moving stamps to a new passport correctly (Non-O Over 50 Extension) at CW:
Enter Thailand with both passports, new passport gets stamped in.
At CW
* Need transfer stamp form and both passports
* Updated bank book and copy (bank book only. Not the full year report that takes a week from Bangkok Bank?)
* Copy of photo pages from each passport
* Copy of last arrival stamp (from the new passport) and last extension (from the old passport)
They move the stamp to the new passport.
And then, since I got my multiple re-entry permit at Suvarnabhumi, I need to take both passports there to move the re-entry permit, which I can do on my next flight out.
This morning I went to apply for a re entry permit to travel in October, however I was refused because I didn't have a TM 30, ( Phuket immigration) I don't recall having needed one before when applying for a re entry permit, interesting because apparently you can apply for a re entry permit at the Airport with only your passport, passport photo and copy of passport pages, anyone had experience with this situation and can update me on this predicament please. 🙏😊
Hi all. I am not sure what is the latest one can submit a 90 day application on line. Is it 7 or 10 days before due date. If 7 days and due date is 1st September is today the last day to apply. Thanks for your help
