Thank you guys.

The following are documents I prepared

4. Payslip (4 months)

5. Employment Letter

6. Cover Letter ( why i want to stay in Thailand)

If it says my application is pending approval, does it mean I have been processed and going to be approved?

Applied for visa yesterday, got asked for extra information.

Only a better quality photo, and copy of companies house info.

Now it's back to pending approval.

Applied from uk

Did anyone else have similar,

And was you nervous during this stage?

Never felt so anxious 🤣

Has anyone applied for a DTV. Been denied, then reapplied and been successful?

Mine is currently processing but I was just wondering as I don’t think I’ve seen any discussion about it.

hello, new member, so thank-you... I will travelling again to thailand in February 2025. This trip I will be seeking a good visa agent in Udon Thani for a retirement non-o visa. Can anyone give a good recommendation for agents . thank-you.

Hello everyone!

I’m currently in Bangkok on a Tourist Visa (TR) with a single entry, which expires on December 9th. I’m planning to apply for a 30-day visa extension and was wondering about the best place to apply.

I’ve heard that the process in Bangkok is smooth and straightforward. However, I’m leaving Bangkok on December 1st and will be in Chiang Mai around the time I plan to submit my application (likely December 2nd or 3rd). I’ve also read mixed reviews about the Chiang Mai immigration office, with some people mentioning delays or even rejections.

I’d love to hear your experiences or advice on extending a Tourist Visa at these locations (or others in Thailand). Specifically:

1. Is the process easier or quicker in Bangkok vs. Chiang Mai?

2. Any tips for ensuring a successful extension?

I appreciate any insights you can share!

Thank you in advance. 🙏

Flew to DMK same day - no issues at immigration

Maybe a unique case - I was travelling Thailand, Laos, Malaysia and Vietnam in the 6 months prior to application. I got my job as I was leaving Thailand to go to Borneo

Applied 21/11, submitted:

- Passport photo

- 6 months of bank statements + brief cover letter

- I only had the ฿500,000 in my account a week prior to application (I have no idea who lets that amount of money sit in their account rather than somewhere useful).

- Flight itinerary, hotel booking and Vietnam visa stamp as proof of location

- Compnay contract and certificate of employment detailing that I can work globally

Request for extra documents 26/11:

- Photos of every single passport page (sent as pdf, included the front and back cover too)

- Clear photo of Vietnam visa (sent)

- 6 months of bank statements, again (sent)

- 6 months of salary slips (I sent a cover letter instead explaining that I didn’t have any yet as I was a new hire. My contract has the date stated the weird American way (MM/DD/YYYY) so I cleared that up). I attached my contract and certificate of employment again).

Granted afternoon of 29/11/24

Ask any questions. I used this page as a resource, I’m happy to help

Has anyone used getitinerary.com to provide a flight number and hotel booking for the DTV application? Is it okay to do so? (I want to apply for the visa now to see if I can get it, as this will affect my plans in some ways... but I haven't booked a flight yet... and not 100% sure of precisely when I can go -- a few things still to settle...)
