Got my DTV approved in taipei through soft powers. It has been a hell, they require you to be employed and show dozens of documents (work contract, certificate of employment, company license authorized with seals, pay slips going into your account, certifications from the gym that are out of ordinary). Despite of showing them all (plus a bank account with 1M) I still got an interview (which took place 2 weeks after submitting the documents for the first time) which felt everything but relaxed with most of the questions related to my job (I applied for soft powers but it doesn't seem there's much difference here). It might be better than malaysia or japan but do yourself a favor, don't apply here. I repeat, don't apply here because they are extra picky. ps: if you think you still wanna get a shot cuz your documents are perfect plz read what I wrote above, avoid this embassy

I went to multiple branches of Bangkok bank today, but they all refused to open a bank account with my DTV visa, does anyone know any branch where I can open an account?

Also on my entry stamp with  they put a date for six months only, I thought this visa was for five years. I got it directly from the consulate without using an agent so I’m completely unaware. How long can I stay in the country and I how often do I have to leave the country and is it mandatory to purchase health insurance? I’m sorry it’s a lot of questions, but any assistant will be greatly appreciated.

IO has been asking for police clearance certificate to extend Non-imm O (marriage) in Bangkok. I extend stay permit based on married to Thai last 3 years. This is first time experiencing such requirement. Is this same to other provinces? Or new rule?

Still 60 days on arrival , depend of your passport of course . 0 question asked

I got dtv but I read many posts and I got some doubts for the extension.

1) it seems if you want to extend the 180 days at immigration office you must provide the same information and documents you already did to get the dtv and you are not sure it will be approved, but if you just travel out of Thailand and back there is no problem and you get the stamp at the passport check. Does it make any sense?

2) with the new system at passport check you don't need to show your passport to an immigration officer but just pass through the scan machine... How to get the 180 days visa stamp on passport then?

Thanks

Hey guys, wanted to inquire something, I recently got my student visa renewed by my university, they gave me an Ed Plus visa with re-entry exemption.

Now, my question is, I am currently doing my internship in Bangkok, and will most likely end up working full time in this company, in this case, I have read that having an ED plus visa means I don't need to go out of Thailand back to my country to apply for non immigrant B visa, apparently the new ed plus visa lets me convert my visa to working visa from Thailand, regardless of which country passport I Haa anyone been successful in doing this? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Well what an interesting process..

I’m applying for Non O retirement visa through an agent.

Have bank acct with 800k

TM30 with one year lease.

I took photos as required then had to download Line and do a video call showing, my room etc and they want to see the power meter with me beside it.

Luckily the office girl explained that the owner is the person the meter is registered too.

Didn’t know a video call had to be done, that’s news.

Is there anyone who faced difficulties at immigration- including being asked to provide proof of tax payments or show money upon arrival?

I have been hearing some issues upon returning to Bangkok with DTV at the Suvarnabhumi Airport this week.

I have a 3 day visa overstay that was paid and i re entered the kingdom. i want to apply from bali. will this be an issue?

Thank you for accepting me to the group. I do have a question and couldn’t find the answer. For the retirement visa, will one of us have to have $24k or will each of have to have $24k in the bank? Thank you.
