I'm traveling several times starting on December 31st. Going to Thailand a total of 3 times until March and then 1 more in June. Never stay more than 60 days. I had written to the embassy in Berlin whether I needed a visa. They wrote back quickly with the recommendation, for the 2. Entry to apply for a visa.

Now I have requested a tourist multi for 175 euros. The first application was cancelled because I must have set a hook wrong, I provided travel document and not passport. I thought travel was the passport.

Then I have the 2. Request submitted. Verified again 175 euros via Mastercard.

Now 2x175 Euros were marked down on the Mastercard. There is hope that the the the for the 1st Withdraw my application, because I didn't get a visa?

If not, that would be really sh.... expensive. Especially if it wasn't really necessary, as I hear from others here.lg

Ich reise ja mehrfach ab 31.12. nach Thailand ein insgesamt 3x bis März und dann noch 1x im Juni. Bleibe nie länger als 60 Tage. Ich hatte die Botschaft in Berlin angeschrieben, ob ich ein Visa brauche. Sie schrieben schnell zurück mit der Empfehlung, für die 2. Einreise ein Visa zu beantragen.

Nun habe ich ein Tourist Multi für 175 Euro beantragt. Der erste Antrag wurde gecancelt, da ich wohl einen Haken falsch gesetzt hab, ich habe travel document und nicht Passport angegeben. Ich dachte Travel wäre der Reisepass.

Dann habe ich den 2. Antrag gestellt. Wieder 175 Euro per Mastercard verifiziert.

Nun wurden auf der Mastercard 2x175 Euro vorgemerkt. Besteht die Hoffnung, dass die die für den 1.Antrag zurückziehen, denn ich hab ja kein Visa bekommen?

Wenn nein wäre das ja echt sch.... teuer. Vor allem, wenn es eigentlich nicht nötig wäre, wie ich von anderen hier höre.lg

If a person has applied for their 1 year Non-imm O Marriage Visa and in between application being submitted at Immigration and the date which interview/approval etc takes place. If there is a change of address does this cause a problem as long as new TM forms done etc

Hello everyone,

I currently have an Extension of Stay (based on Non-B) stamp that expires on Dec 25. I’m not renewing it because I plan to apply for a DTV visa from Vietnam.

Plan:

• Leave Thailand on Dec 22 (4 days before the extension expires)

• Work permit will be cancelled before I depart

• I’d like to submit my DTV online application on Dec 22 (same day I fly out)

Question:

Do I still need to go to Immigration to cancel the Extension of Stay even though it has only 3 days left, or can I just depart normally without canceling it?

Thanks in advance for any advice/experience.

Hi everyone, I’d appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through the DTV remote work process.

I applied for a DTV under the remote work category while staying in Vietnam. With my application, I already submitted my employment contract, employer approval letter, proof of company registration, bank statements showing the required balance, and six recent salary slips.

Today I received a request for additional documents, and I’m trying to clarify their expectations. They asked again for salary slips and bank statements, which were already provided, so I’m not sure if they want updated versions or a resubmission.

They also requested income tax documents for the last two years (2023–2024). In my case, income tax documents are issued only after the end of the tax year. I did not work during 2023 and 2024 and only started my current employment in April 2025, so I don’t have tax forms for those years.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would a letter from the accountant of my current employer confirming my employment start date be sufficient, and what details should such a letter include?

Thanks in advance for any insight or experience you can share.

So hypothetically if I go to Thailand end of January and stay 60/90 days , how long after that could I apply for a DTV. I am tempted to do it now but want to check out various towns and places first before applying for it incase I am unhappy there .Or should I take a punt on Hua Hin for example and take my chances there .

Hello, has anyone used Ubon Visa for applying for the DTV visa. I want to apply while I’m in the UK. Their reviews on Google look good and my friend recommended them that lives in Bangkok. Thanks in advance

Has anyone applied for the DTV from the Naha consulate in Japan? Does anyone have any insight into their approval rates and turnaround time?

Hi everyone,

-I’m planning to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand.

I have a bank account, but I don’t have a large deposit in it because I usually use e-wallets / digital wallets for my payments.

However, I do have:

* Pay slips for the last 6 months

* A formal work contract showing my monthly income

* I work remotely as a digital nomad

My question is: Will this be sufficient to prove financial stability for the DTV, or is a large bank deposit mandatory?

Any advice or experiences from people who applied for DTV without a big bank balance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I am in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption, but I'd like to extend it to 90 days.

I'd rather do things early than late, so I was planning to go within the week. However, ChatGPT (which is not always reliable) says to wait a bit as Bangkok immigration is very strict.

Is this true? Should I wait till January to extend, or just do it now? I thought it would be best to ask real people.

Also, it has to be done in person, right? I haven't found an online option.
