Hi guys, I just received a response to my application that is as follows:

“We are unable to proceed further with your application as you input GBR in country of the authority that issued your passport which is not match. Your application will be cancelled and you need to reapply. All visa fees are not refundable.”

This is just not true as this is not the information I entered.

Has anyone else encountered this?

For additional context, it is a Nigerian passport, but my last renewal was done at the embassy in Vilnius, so I put in Lithuania as the place of issue as it appears on the passport. Now I wonder if I’m supposed to have typed in Nigeria. This part is always confusing. I applied from London as I live here now.

Anyone who applied recently or just about to apply can kindly provide info on what are the ways of paying visa fee online apart from visa and mastercard? (interested in HCMC specifically but I assume it’s the same everywhere).

Hello. Are there anyone who recently renewed their thai retirement visa?

My mom’s 15-month retirement visa will expire soon and she wants to renew for another one year. What are the recently updated required documents? She’ll have to renew it in Bangkok Chaeng Wattana Immigration..

We already have all other documents (financial proof and the rental contract, etc) that meets the requirements, except for the health insurance.. Is health insurance certificate required for visa renewal?

And also, what’s the visa renewal fee and the multiple re entry fee?

Thank you in advance.

If the embassy decides to give a 6 month visa instead of 5 year DTV cuz they seem it's a better fit for the person, shouldn't they basically refund the rest of the fees cuz that's what they will tag it as in the government portal?

Hello I'm a 61 year old male in Canada .I'm thinking about getting a DTV visa and want to verify that all is needed is 10,000 baht for the visa and if I get a 180 day extension it's 1900 baht. This visa last 5 years. Any idea how long it could take to get this ?

Is the visa a one off 10,000B fee for the 5 years?

Can I ask for a E Visa twice in the same year without problems?

I don't want to pay the fee and then be refused

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a question on the re-entry permit application which i intend to apply at Don Muang airport. Can I apply for the permit before my departure date ,like a few days before, or i can only apply on the date of departure? And confirm the fees for multiple entry permit is 3,800 baht? Is there an additional service fee of 200 baht payable? Thanks!

For Hong Kong applicants:

Before applying, many people said Hong Kong was difficult to apply to, and even the cooking schools asked me to avoid it.

However, if you're a Hong Kong resident, don't hesitate to apply there. It will just take longer, about a month. There's no need to apply in other countries, as flights and hotels also cost money.

The visa fee for Hong Kong is 3,000 HKD.

Cooking school: 19,000 + B.

That's about 8,000 HKD for a 5-year visa.

Even with Soft Power, the application process in Hong Kong can still be slow. It took me about a month.
