Immigration Experience

------------------------

I am the one who posted about ED visa and re-entry permit and this is the update post. I arrived in Thailand this morning and gave my DTV printed page and passport to the officer. She looks confused about which stamp she had to make. Then I showed my cancellation letter (not original but copy) then she smiled and Stamped DTV 180 days. I'm very happy that everything goes smoothly except the airline check-in counter. That Airline check-in counter really messes up that saying my passport has no visa stamp I mean wdh xD Then I just told them I'm going for a free visa because I am an Asian.

Does anyone have any experience getting a DTV while still having a non b with extension and work permit?

I was planning on cancelling them before I leave to go to Vietnam to apply for DTV but the paperwork to cancel them the correct way didn’t come through in time.

I have seen some people say they have been approved for DTV while holding another visa and also some saying you can’t get approved while holding another visa.

It’s a risk to apply and get rejected and lose 10k but at the same time if I have to do an entirely new trip after cancelling my other visas once I return to Thailand it’s going to cost me more than 10k so I am weighing up the pro’s and con’s of applying anyway to try my luck. I will be applying in HCMC.

So I had my DTV visa granted in Taipei today. I’m currently on a Muay Thai (education visa) that doesn’t end till the 30th of December.

Before returning to thailand do I need to cancel my ED visa ?

I have the DTV stamp now in my passport (sorry if this is a stupid question) just unsure.

Hi. Not sure if a stupid question or not. I haven't been to Thailand for about 2 years now however last time I was there I was on a student visa. I left abruptly due to a job offer abroad and didn't cancel the visa or anything when leaving as had not heard this was something that needed to be done. Will this cause me issues when I plan to do a short holiday there for a few days soon?

I'm currently in Thailand on an education visa. My second 3 month extension will expire on the 29th of November. At this time I will have completed 9 months on the education visa. I don't want to do the final 3 month extension. On the 29th of November, I want to leave the country, and go to Lao, and apply for a DTV. My question: Do I need to do a cancel on the Education visa, or can I just wait until the 2nd extension expires, and go apply for the DTV.

Hello, my year long education visa will run out at the end of November, can I leave the country and come back via land/Laos border and go to a back to a tourist stamp? I am unsure as I will have been in the country over the 365 days? Thank you

Hi everyone.

I have a non-b visa with work permit (3 months extended to 1 year, obtained in Malaysia).

I found out my Dad was unwell in hospital, so I left Thailand to visit him (with a re-entry permit) and hoped to have returned by now.

Unfortunately with stage 4 kidney failure he is not improving, therefore I wont be able to return to Thailand soon.

I was hoping for some clarity on how/if I can cancel my work permit and visa from the UK. I want to do this properly and abide by the laws.

If necessary I could try fly to Thailand, cancel them and fly out again, but of course that is a lot of money, so would avoid if possible.

Any help is really appreciated, thank you

Any experience with applying at a in-person-consulate (or even eVisa) while an eVisa application is still in progress? I'm at a point with my eVisa application where I can't supply certain documents and I can't find a cancellation option online. Can I just leave it open or try to contact the consulate to cancel it first?

Hello People,

I started some weeks ago to fill out my DTV Visa for Thailand. Today i finally submitted all the neccessary Documents (Passport, Work Contract, Bank Statement with over 500k THB (in EUR), Proof of Residence (registration certificate from city council). Then i paid for it and 5 hours later i just got this email. Around 5 hours after i paid it. Well usually the Thai Embassy takes several weeks for my Visa (did multiple Tourist VISA in the past) but now i just got this after just some hours. (and today is Halloween). Outside of the opening(working times) and super quick. Do you guys have any idea what to do or what could be the reason?

PS: the annoying part is that i don’t even know a reason (if I maybe did a mistake) and that the 350€ fee is just gone.

Thank You in advance!

I now hold 2 visas and a work permit. The visa I have been using is a business visa, the "owns 49% of the company" kind. The work permit is associated with that visa.

I now have a DTV and I intend to enter Thailand using the DTV.

I need to cancel the business visa and work permit. Is that something I can do myself? What is the procedure for that?
