Has anyone applied for DTV with a joint bank account? Do I need to be the main account holder? I’ve tried to email the Los Angeles consulate but no response.

Before emailing the embassy I thought I would ask here

Does anyone know if a certificate of civil union is accepted as proof of relationship for a spouse DTV?

We are not ‘married’ but on paper a civil union is the same. I also know that some countries don’t recognize it as legal. Is Thailand is?

How do I add my dependents after being approved for the DTV?

Hi, I have successfully applied for a DTV visa for myself and my family. The process was incredibly straightforward, and the consulate staff were very helpful and friendly. ❤🫠

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Schedule an Appointment: Visit the consulate's website to book your appointment. Note that one person can submit the application on behalf of the entire family.

[members only]

💫Prepare Your Documents:

👉Passport

👉Photograph

👉Document indicating current location: just a booking receipt will do

👉Bank Statements: Provide 6 months of bank statements with a minimum balance of 500,000 baht.

👉Employment Contract: Submit your employment contract. If you are a freelancer, include contracts from the past 6 months.

👉Guarantee Letter: Write a letter guaranteeing the support of family members who will accompany you.

👉Proof of Relationship: Include documents that prove your relationship with accompanying family members, such as marriage certificates and birth certificates.

👉Pay the Fee: The application fee is $340 per person.

Wait for Processing: The processing time is typically 2 days.

Everything was smooth and efficient, thanks to the kind and attentive consulate staff.

I want my girlfriend to come to England for a month or so from Thailand. I know I can invite her but what does she need to provide or have proof of and what finances do I need to provide to assure that things go smoothly? It's the time frame?

I am aware of most of the legal requirements for foreigners who want to marry a Thai woman and live in Thailand. My question is this. When an Australian marries or wants to marry a foreign woman and have her live in Australia, the Australian Government requires proof of communications between the couple, such as photos together, letters (snail mail - if still used), emails etc. Does the Thailand Government have any such requirements? I have done a little searching online and can't find anything to say that it's required.

Please note; while I do have a sense of humour, I won't tolerate comments that are negative towards marrying Thai women, ridiculing, or insulting. Those people, I will block without hesitation.

Headed to Immigration at CW next week for a Non-O (retirement). Wife filed TM30 on her house and I’m bringing a copy. Have a copy of her house papers too.

Question: I’m staying in my wife’s house do we still need to show a lease paper and make one up or will her house papers suffice w the TM30 receipt? She will b accompany me.

Hi - from New Zealand, here on a Non Imm O (Thai Spouse) Visa granted 90 days on arrival expiring 3 December. I intend to extend this by the 60 days allowable and just wanted to ensure I have my documentation in order. I will visit Immigration in Chiang Rai on 16 November (is this too late?) and as far as I can ascertain need my passport, copy of bio page, current visa, and entry stamp, 1 x photo, completed TM7 form in blue pen, copy of TM30 notification made online, and 1900 Baht. Anything I might be missing? Cheers.

Good afternoon everyone, looking at getting a visa for a Thai girl to visit me in England for a couple of months.

How difficult is this please, also are there companies that can advise and fill out paperwork for us for maybe a better chance of acceptance?

Thank you for your time reading this.

Not really the right place here but maybe someone knows, Google wasn't really helpful:

My fiancee and I will be flying from Bangkok to Germany next week. It's her first time out of Thailand. We're well prepared but I'm unsure about what documents the pass control at the airport in Germany might want to see. We have the letter of guarantee, invitation letter from guarantee and from local government, valid visa, "proof of relationship"(printed pictures from the pas three years), vaccine pass, pcr test results. Anything else you can think of? I don't want to risk any problems. Thanks a lot!
