We applied for the 60-day tourist visa on October 9th. It still hasn't been processed. It's hung up on "pending document check." The payment has gone through. Is there some way we can inquire about this or work to see this completed? Our flight is scheduled for October 25th.

Two US passport holders. Visited the Yangon embassy on Monday to apply for DTV medical option. No evisa here as others have noted. Made the appointment two weeks ago. Brought along 6 months of bank statements. Foreigner registration and copies of all visas past two years. Photos and the generic visa form. Had appointment details for Bumrungrad specialists for the next 13 months along with stamped signed certificates of diagnosis and treatment plans. Those certificates were very brief and to the point. Not a formal letter. Applied for spouse visa for my wife and brought marriage certificate. All these things were copies. They didn't ask for payment. Told us to come back at 2 pm. Came back and paid, got a receipt and told to return on Wednesday. My wife went back today and picked up everything. The staff were very courteous and as others mentioned wanted to help. They were amazingly efficient as well. We had tons of additional documentation too but they didn't ask for it. Didn't ask for flight ticket or apartment lease. Some local people had up to 8 passports with them. Traffic was very brisk. We've only been in Yangon for two years but know what people are going through. I hope everyone who was there had their visas approved and are able to get out.

Do you have to show $14k in finances per person applied for or per family? I’m currently looking to get the DTV for myself and get DTV dependent visas for my son and wife, but I don’t currently have $42k to show. Confused on this rule.

I plan to enter Thailand via Savarnaphumi Airport, get 60 day VOA, then apply for a 30 day extension at about the 45 day point to stay a total of 90 days. Is that doable?

Requestimg visa advice:

Over 50. US citizen. Current income from multiple sources - investments, small w-2 income, and interest received from lending money.

I plan on spending ~6 months a year in Thailand, 4 months in Japan, 2 in usa and take short trips around the world. I don't mind getting health insurance in Thailand (currently looking at AXA).

I'm currently back in the US. Looking at Non-O retirement and Non-OA retirement or possibly METV. Ironically the Chicago and DC consulates show different wording for the requirements than each other.

What are the pros & cons to 90 day O vs 1 year OA?

Any experience with Chicago vs DC?

Both consulates require a bank account with a minimum balance but doesn't specify if the account can be outside of Thailand (don't really want to park a bunch of cash in Thai back account if possible plus since I'm not there can't set one up)

Thanks

Hi I need to know when I can apply for a Visa?

I have booked for a Visit to Thailand on Nov 6th to January 28th. (3 months) this year. 2024.

I am from the United States. Flower Mound. TX.

I am 65 years old.

Can I apply to Embassy Here in the US for 3 months? Or What Should I do? Do I have to first come to Thailand and Then Apply? With your help.

My Thai wife has a US passport and a Thai id card. Im getting ready to do my 50+ retirement visa as a US citizen. Does she have to do anything or just me? Thank you

Family Visa Questions-Weighing my options-US Citizens—

If I obtain an ED Language Visa, can my kids and husband qualify for a dependent visa while I’m here for a year?

Option 2 - If I enroll my kids in school, can my husband (Stepdad) get a Guardian Visa?

Option 3 - As a married couple, can 1 person get an ED visa and have their mate as a dependent or does both ppl need ED Visas?

I’ve researched for days..Thanks everyone for your input! 😀

Can anyone recommend a good expat tax person for US citizen living in Thailand? I would do it myself but there are some complications and I would rather have an expert dealing with it.

My husband and I, US citizens, want to get METV’s and we need to show $7000 per person in a bank account. I have multiple bank accounts in one bank. Together they are greater than $7000. Can I show this for a visa or does one account need to have $7000?

If we choose to show an account that is greater than $14000, and we show our marriage license, does the account need to be in both our names or can it be in just one of our names?

Thank you.
