Hey ya'll....quick question for the DTV. The application asks for accommodation and flight info. Do I need to actually book or can I just put what I'm planning on?

Thanks all!

Hi 👋 can you confirm it is still possible to apply for a non immigrant O retirement visa (1 year) from within Thailand by following this process:

1. enter Thailand on a tourist visa

2. then apply for 90 day Non Immigrant visa

3. during the 90 day period then applying for the 12 month retirement visa with necessary supporting docs including bank confirmation of 800,000 baht and proof of residence

'Cancelled. Disqualified' What does this mean?

Applied 28 May in Delhi,

Provided NZ and India company Extract (where I am 100% shareholder and director) and India entry stamp and last 3 months bank statement of both personal and company account. Balance of 500k baht was deposited few days prior but there were numerous transactions of 2k-4k USD every week into personal account from company account.

Request for additional docs (Proof of address in India and Employment Contract) on 2 June.

Same day- I provided Employment Certificate from own company, signed by self and stamped and Indian Driving licence and Aadhaar for address proof.

Today 10 June got 'Cancelled. Disqualified'

What may have gone wrong? And does 'Disqualified' mean I can no longer apply again or disqualified just this time?

I am going to Vietnam to apply for the non b visa for work, then I will go back to Thailand afterwards.

Read online that its only online now, and you have to be outside of Thailand when you do it, my question is, how would they know if I am outside Thailand or not? (Being that its all done online)

I read that it may be possible that they call you in for an in person interview, but, many people said they havent been called for an in person interview. So besides that, how would they know where I am?

Btw, none of the requirements for the non b visa require you to show exit stamp from Thailand or anything of that nature, so im curious if im able to stay in Thailand while I do it, then after a couple weeks, or however long it takes, then i go out and come back in. Am I missing something?

Hey all thanks in advance for advice. This is a very nerve-racking week and need any final insights.

I had my EDU visa cancelled for June 15th and the same day I plan to fly to Taiwan or Philippines.

My plan is to apply for Workation DTV visa.

I have been teaching online for 6 years now but will get my father’s (same last name) 6 months bank statements which show a couple million baht + a sponsor letter + a signed photocopy of his passport.

I will make a professional portfolio as a freelancer and bank statements + income proof for the last 6 months.

Of course there a few other required documents like copies of my own passport etc which I’ll get

But basically is there any extra advice or suggestions on Taiwan vs Philippines?

Also e-visa vs walk-in?

I will also dress quite well and look professional.

Any more advice will be much appreciated!

This is quite stressful.

Thanks all!

Hey guys, I applied in Vientiane last thursday, still haven’t received an email appointment. I’d really like to know how long it’s taking people to get an interview?

I’m starting to get pretty anxious about lack of news, and just heard it’s taking some people up to 5 weeks, so just want some feedbacks from success stories and waiting times!

Thought I’d share success story.

Got the DTV and went down with no dramas at DMK. Just handed over a print out of my visa and said “DTV”.

Applied through Canberra consulate with a sponsor covering the financial requirement (didn’t need to show my bank account).

Took about 5 weeks.

Second time in Thailand this year. Every 56 days, then I won't need a visa if Belgium. I want to come back this year for 2 months, but then I want to apply for type O pension visa in Thailand. I have contacted some visa offices in Thailand, they are no longer able to issue pension visas, apparently fraud cases have been exposed. Are there any Belgians who have applied for a pension visa O through the Thai embassy in Brussels? This can only be done online? Have you had to wait a long time for your visa? Did you need to deliver documents? If you can provide me with information regarding this, I would be very grateful.

Ik ben voor de tweede keer dit jaar in Thailand. Telkens 56 dagen, dan heb ik geen visum nodig als Belg. Ik wil dit jaar terugkomen voor 2 maanden, maar dan wil ik een pensioenvisum type O aanvragen in Thailand. Ik heb contact gehad met enkele visumkantoren in Thailand, deze kunnen geen pensioenvisum meer bezorgen, blijkbaar zijn er fraudezaken aan het licht gekomen. Zijn er Belgen die via de Thaise ambassade in Brussel een pensioenvisum O hebben aangevraagd? Dit kan alleen nog online? Heeft u lang moeten wachten op uw visum? Moest u documenten bezorgen? Indien u mij informatie kan bezorgen hieromtrent, ik zou u erg dankbaar zijn.

Has anybody done the DTV visa for medical treatment?

I need to get some demtal implants.

It Takes about 6 months to complete the implant process.

Would one dental implant be enough to get the DTV Visa or do I need to make the treatment longer? Already had consultation with the dentist and they are willing to write a letter and treatment plan.

Thanks.

Also, after reading that new article about the delays, right now, where is the best place to apply for DTV visa?

I saw somebody just got it in Vientiane, Laos, 2 business working days but then I saw someone 3 weeks.

Hi. Just wanted to verify.

I am going to Savannakhet to apply for a new 90-day Non-B visa for work. I have the appropriate paperwork from my new place of employment.

I believe that I no longer need to make an appointment through this website: [members only]/

The process should simply be.

1) Prepare paperwork. Upload as much as I can into the E-visa website: [members only]/

2) Enter Laos

3) Between 09:00 and 10:00 upload additional verification that I am physically in Laos. This can be a photo of my Laos entry visa.

4) Pay the Visa fee. I believe that I must do this in-person with cash at the Thai consulate in Savannakhet.

5) Wait for the visa to be emailed to me. Or will I go to the consulate to pick up the visa after being notified?

Is this correct? Anything I am missing?
