Can someone explain to me how I can be a resident in Thailand for tax purposes (180 days+) and classified as a tourist on my visa?

Hi first of all thank you guys so much for all the guidance, advice and help...this group is amazing.

Now to my confusing situation.

I applied for a dependent DTV Visa in Frankfurt, Germany early October, on the 6th of October they asked for more documents which I sent, then on the 14.10 I received the good news that my visa is approved!!! It was amazing and we bought our flight tickets the same day.

3 days later my status all the sudden changed from approved to request interview. Then I received an email on the 16.10 for an interview on the 20.10 at 10 am.

I went there yesterday, they were very friendly and kind, i greeted them in Thai, they laughed and were impressed with my pronunciation xD they asked me a lot of questions and I was quite nervous....

I brought up the situation with the approved visa and they told me, it's a glitch and if they grant me a visa, I will get a new one.

My status has not changed since the 16.10, also not after my interview, which is a bit concerning for me :(

Our flight is in 8 days.

My husband DTV Gott approved in less than a week.

Am I being paranoid? Should I reapply for a DTV or at least a tourist visa so I can fly to Bangkok on the 29....?

Our flights are non refundable, we also have a dog :( I'm so frustrated, worried and confused :(

I’m Currently a WP holder for 1 year now and my Bangkok Bank account got frozen. They are requiring a Certified copy of your U.S. passport endorsed by the embassy. My suggestion don’t use Bangkok Bank. No other bank has that requirement.

Hi everyone

is pending approval a good sign?

they asked for more documents this morning asking for the unmarked bank statement, I responded with the letter explaining it is how the bank provided it which it was stamped inside the bank and I did not unmark it. now the status changed to pending approval. im very anxious.

Another banking question. I opened a bank account at Kasikorn Bank on ED visa 3 years ago. Now since 1 year on DTV visa. My ATM card got hacked (some unauthorized transactions), so I had to cancel it.

Now if I want a new card I have to go with my passport to the branch and order a new one. Will I wake a sleeping dragon if I do that, now that I am on DTV or it's no problem with Kasikorn Bank?

I checked already, I can put cash into my account with just my account number at the cash ATMs. QR is also still working, online transfers into my account as well.

But what if I need a new card, or change my phone number?

I am not sure I followed the proper procedure when I left Thailand. Last ApriI obtained my first non immigrant O visa and then was able to get my one year extension of stay in July. I left the country a couple of weeks later and am not sure if I got my reentry permit. This is a picture of my last passport stamp. Did I mess up and lose my visa status? Please advise. I did buy a multi entry permit as well.

Has anyone got their money back from Bangkok bank?? They refuse to give me my money it’s been 3 months

VIENNA, Austria 🇦🇹 . 10 DAYS WAITING. NO UPDATE. What to so?

Hi everyone,

thanks so much for this group and everyone sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Applied for DTV Visa (Freelancer, Workation) in Vienna – Status Still Pending Approval

• I’m Austrian national and applied for the DTV freelancer visa at the Thai Embassy in Vienna (while being here ofc)

• Submitted my application online Friday night two weeks ago.

• I have read posts from others in this group who applied in Vienna and were asked for extra documents, so I proactively included all required docs plus financials, company info, business description, and revenue details.

• Current status: still “pending approval.” No updates or communication since submission.

• I’ve read the Vienna embassy isn’t very responsive, so I haven’t called or emailed yet and thought I’d just wait a little longer.

• Now it’s been 2 weeks (10+ business days).

👉 My question: should I write an email, try calling, or wait another week?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience!

I just had my DTV revoked . originally it was paid for by my employer but I stopped working for them and they wrote to embassy to inform them I’m no longer contracted to them & had my DTV revoked

Hi folks, I have a question about Bangkok Bank😅. I haven't received any communication either on the app or via email or text stating that my account is locked, but I'm unable to make transfers or top up my mobile service. Although I can still receive money into the account, I'm unsure if it's locked or temporary. Has anyone experienced this?
