Has anyone actually been denied entry and turned away at the airport on a successful DTV, without option to pay some scam fee to get in? If so what were the circumstances of that denial?

Can I get a re-entry visa at the airport,when flying out...how much please?

I heard Ed Thai visa cannot be done from Thai embassy anymore and it is done by applying and submitting papers online only and getting the stamp in passport upon arriving. My question is what is the mode of payment? Is that limited to online payment? And what can I do if my card just expired few days ago and it’s gonna take over two weeks for replacement. Is there any other way to pay?

My DTV got approved yesterday from HCMC. I submitted application 5th Jan, got asked for additional documents of 6 months bank statements on 8th Jan, status changed to ‘pending approval’ on 9th, visa approved on 15th Jan.

Thanks for all the advice on here, a really great group to have access to throughout the process.

I got asked a few questions at immigration but nothing too stressful, just what visa did I enter with in October (tourist) and what I do for work. I pointed out that I work remotely and wanted to stay longer in Thailand and I was advised to get the DTV. She agreed it’s better.

Thanks all, wish you all the best outcomes!

I have contacted a visa agent about getting help with the DTV. They told me it would be 130,000baht each for myself and my husband ( total 260,000baht). That sounds a little outrageous but I've never done this before. Please advise! Thank you!

I applied for my dtv 2 days ago in Germany, Frankfurt and today I saw they not only charged me the regular price for the visa but also 45,99€ extra costs for whatever. Additionally there are another 45,99€ reserved payments in my bank account. Anyone know what that’s for? I tried calling them but no one answers the phone though I called during office hours.

Just got my visa application canceled because I missed my middle name in application process.

Indeed that's totally my fault but do we have to pay 340$ each time a mistake is made ?

I felt more secure to apply online when I heard that if you don't have all the documents the will ask you for more documents instead of immediately canceling the application.

This is some of the things that would never happen when applying physicall. I'm very disgusted about that behavior to be honest.

DTV extension update!

First of all, yes everyone knows that we can fly out for another 180 days. But there may be people like me who would just extend cos we want it this way. And it’s for me to decide. No need any suggestions on what i should do. I’m only here to share the updates for DTV extension based on my visit to immigration today.

1. Your bank statement. You MUST have that 500k in your bank account for minimum one month. They asked me to bring my updated bank book too. They are extremely particular about that and they took a good amount of time to check in details.

2. Your professional portfolio. (It can vary if you applied with different route. But for my case i applied as a freelanced digital nomad.) So you must prepare a document stating what have you done during that 180 days in Thailand and what you will do in the next 180 days IN DETALS. Otherwise, it’s a no.

3. TM30 is also needed to be updated.

4. Visa extension fees is 1900. Yes, it’s confirmed.

No, i wasn’t fit to extend this time. But my visa is due in the mid of February. So will try again next month. 😁

Is there a charge for a Non Immigrant O Visa? I'm on the Thai embassy website and it looks as though it's £150.

Or is that the cost of an annual extension.

Thanks.

Hi everyone I’m super sad I travel to Vietnam and apply here for the DTV under a workcation status not sure what went wrong but 4 days after applying I get into my profile on their website and there is nothing seconds after receive this emails with not more explanations or options to fix anything , did I just lost all my money and time ? Or there is anything I can do ?
