I have come to Thailand on the exemption visa. I spoke to Thai immigration 6 months agoand was told that I could come into Thailand and then apply for my 90 day non immigrant O visa. I arrived last week and spoke to them about it. Thay have now said that I can't do it at immigration. Their advice was to apply for a 90 day non immigrant O e visa from inside Thailand, wait until they send the confirmation email and then leave the country. When I come back into Thailand that will activate the 90 day visa. I checked the E visa website and the first thing it says is that you can't apply for the visa inside Thailand. I would like to know if anyone has done it this way and if they were successful. Please help, Ive been told so many different things my heads in a spin. Thanks.

My passport is running out of empty pages and I've ordered a new one. What's the process for updating to the new passport on the dtv? I saw a post you can transfer the visa over but it's a digital not physical visa sticker.

Hi!

So I’m British and I came to Thailand on a 60 day visa free entry about 20 days ago.

I heard it’s okay but I want to double check if I can change it to a Non immigrant ED visa.

I also want to double check if I’m allowed to change my visa type whilst I’m in the country?

(From what I’ve seen, yes)

I start my internship on Monday and the only reason why I didn’t apply earlier is because one particular document was taking FOREVER to arrive.

I really wanted to come to Thailand a bit earlier than my internship to make sure that I can get things in order as it’s my first time coming here and I have little idea of how things work around here 💔

Looks like they're tweaking the LTR requirements a bit.

Remote worker: company needs to show 50 million in income over 3 years instead of 150 million.

Wealthy global citizen: no more monthly income requirement

Remove the cap on dependant LTR visas from 4 to unlimited.

They are also gutting the Smart visa program and completely getting rid of it except for the Startup category.

HCMC Vietnam question.

( apologies in advance if the answers to my questions are obvious. I don't see a consolidated answer on here , so was hoping for a response from someone with firsit hand experience )

I live in Thailand but work all over Asia so quite hard to tie down exact dates, but of course will make it work.

I read that people are are applying online for the HCMC and waiting 2 weeks for an appointment.

1. Is the 2 weeks a minimum ? Set in stone ?

2. Can you select a range of dates for your appointment?

3. Can I only apply once inside Vietnamto lock in the appointment. I'm aware that proof of arrival are required. I'm just not sure that is needed at the start.

I will be providing the following. My Thai address will be our family villa in wife's name.

1. Passport copies

2. Passport photos x 2

3. Latest wage slip. More available upon request.

4. 6 months bank statement. Latest balance of bank balance. More available upon request.

5. Letter from company, confirming my salary, length of employment and remote work ability.

6. Singapore Tax return. Showing taxes paid in full.

7. Proof of address in Thailand on bank statement.

Just applied in Istanbul - fingers crossed, I will keep this upated! Before online if choosing "Turkey" it would say there is no place to apply. October 8th this changed. Just an FYI - it can all be done online now
