Hello!

I recently finished my bachelors degree (remote) and have been in Thailand the past 1.5 years on education visas and visa except in the beginning. I fell in love with the country, a Thai man and Muay Thai.

I did not have 500,000 in an account in my name because I had a company in Germany before and it was safest there while I was abroad. Transferred it now. I can get a recent statement, but not 3 months.

I am planning to add a cover letter explaining my plans etc.

Do you have any advice on embassies (close to Thailand) or general advice?

I appreciate it!

What the best ( and cheaper ) Thai Voxing school in PHUKET for the DTV please ?

I see people talking about Muay Thai King at 15.000 but the website tell 18.000 .

Any options at 15.000 or around ?

Better something with history of success , all documents and so on

Thanks

When is the "best" time to go to the immigration office for my first 90 day report, with the understanding that there is never actually a good time to go? 😂 Weekday morning, I presume? I'm in Bangkok.

My yearly extension of stay for non-O marriage ends Sept 4th.

I’ll leave Thailand next week and come back end of August 20th, by plane.

Then I’ll leave Thailand again Sept. 16th to my home country (Germany) and come back in November.

What will happen August 20th when I enter Thailand (by plane)

1. with a Reentry Permit: Can I stay until September 19th (after expiry Sept 4th of my extension of stay)?

2. without a Reentry Permit: Will a get a normal 60 day visa-exemption stay ? (I understand that the extension of stay becomes invalid)

Thanks in advance.

Background:

My travel schedule makes it difficult to do the extension as usual b/c my travel collides with the timelines for application and ‘under consideration’ period.

So my idea is to get a new Non-Imm o visa (marriage) multi-entry yearly in my home country before returning in Nov.

The visa itself shouldn’t be a problem. I clearly fulfill all the requirements and did it a few times before .

(sorry, if answered before. I failed to find it)

I was supposed to extend my extension of stay based on marriage a month ago, but I messed up the seasoning of funds due to some banking fees and card charges and the amount dipped under the 400k.

Since I didn't have much time to plan an alternative I flew out, stayed in another country for a few days and flew back in on a visa exempt entry.

I then started to prepare the documents for my new initial Non-O. I followed a document that is available on the immigration website and it indicated that I pretty much just need the 400k in the bank on the day of the application.

When I went to the Chiang Mai immigration office to ask for their list of requirements, they gave me a paper that lists "proof of saving transfer from abroad".

So which is it? Do they really require this proof of funds transferred from abroad? My funds have been in Thailand for a few years now and have been transferred between bank accounts, so proving that isn't really an option now.

Can't really see any other way forward other than sending it out and back in again. Thoughts?

Another one. The document online says I should apply at least 15 days before my current stamp expires, whereas the Chiang Mai immigration's document says "at least 15 working days" quite the difference.

I fully expected to stay 2 weeks in Indonesia given the various posts recently. I'm absolutely chuffed to get the DTV within a week without further document requests. Thank you, DTV folks!

I have very strange situation, my DTV is pending since 22nd April, 2025 and now on 8th July, 2025 it is showing pending approval. I sent three reminders with additional documents (which inlcude UK visit visa) but i have not received any reply. I read some posts which shows that after pending approval mostly applications get approve. I have applied from Embassy of Islamabad. My catagory might be change because i am self employed and provide legal consultations online to my clients.

I am travelling to UK, Serbia and Turkey in July. What should i do? Shall i go for vacation?

Shall i consider DTV approved or it can be rejected too. I have strong social media presence as well as requisite amount required for DTV lying in bank since last 2 to 3 years.

Hello all! Im applying for the DTV at the London Embassy. Just wondering if I book a flight a couple of months in advance can I still go ahead and apply for the visa now or should I wait nearer the time? Thank you!

Hi all, I'm about to submit my documents to the BOI for the LTR "work from Thailand" visa. Has anyone done this yet and have a copy or suggestions on what should be included in the employment letter ?
