Non-Immigrant O Visa report

I tried to covert from a METV (6 month) to a Non-Immgrant O (spouse) visa at Wattana and didn't have much luck. I was given reasons for the denial that aren't actual requirements (need to be married for 3 months, no Thai bank account, home photos a little too small) and told I should "find someone to help me".

Anyway, made the run to Vientiane Laos and it was easy. Apply online once you arrive, go the office to pay your 2,000 baht fee, wait for the email with your visa. Would have taken just 3 days if it weren't for the consulate being closed for Songran, and the weekend.

Only needed half the documents, all PDF. 7 days total time. Easy. They'll want color copies of your marriage certs, and your spouses Thai ID with a signature and date at the bottom. It's a little work to get your files down to the 3MB limit.

I ran into a few DTV applicants at my hotel, they seemed to be happier with the process, and expected they'd have theirs in a day two as well.

Apply through Vientiane, paid in 3/10, requestd additional passport photo in 3/11, requested financial docs (3 month bank statement as well as certificate of personal deposit and ATM card) in 3/13. Let's wait and see what's next.

Good days everyone, I’m planning to submit my DTV Muay Thai Soft Power application in Vientiane. My question is: do I need to book an appointment in advance to pay the visa fee? If yes, which website should I use? The one they recommended seems to be the wrong site. Thank you.

Accountant/bookkeeping DTV

Has anyone successfully applied for DTV as an accountant or bookkeeper?

Obviously would be remote working and not client facing.

I can get all the documents for a UK registered company and employment contract (I’m one do the directors and job role is accountant). 500,000+ in Bangkok Bank saving account for three months and 6+ months payslips from the company to UK bank account.

Was going to use an agent but the owner actually advised I do it myself. Currently on ED visa through them for a number of years. They were charging 65,000 baht and I think I would have been one of the first to use their DTV service with no guarantees it is accepted as per all agents.

Going apply for the DTV myself in Vientiane next month (only 180km drive from Khon Kaen) and really appreciate all the posts and advice on here.

Hey, can anyone who’s applied for the workation DTV through Vientiane share how long after their interview that they received the actual visa? Wondering when I should book my flight for.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

I have a question for those who applied in Vientiane, in addition to bank statements have you also submitted gurantee letter?

The cartoonish post on the embassy's website only mention bank statements but I read that some also submitted guarantee letter, and I wanted to know if this is an official requiremnet.

Thanks in advance...

Has anyone from Canada applied?

Can someone clarify about this Vientiane option to apply for the DTV? Do I need to make an appointment at the Thai embassy for that? And can any nationality apply?

Hello , I have currently Non Ed 90 days (not extesion).

I have plan to change to DTV this month at Vientiane,

So I need to cancel my current Non Ed?Thank You

Does anyone have done a Non O visa (Dependent of a Non-B visa holder ) in Vientien?

Did you book only 1 appointment for all family members or a separate appointment for each of them?

Will the appointment have to be under the name of the Non-B visa holder or the Non O visa applicant?

Thank you in advance for your reply!
