Is the DTV visa linked to your specific passport and it’s number? I’m applying for DTV now but hope to get a new passport in a few months.

If I can apply normally with my current one and get approved do I need to transfer it to a new passport or how does it work?

Hello,

I have a couple of questions to ask the group.

#1 I’m down to only two blank pages left on my passport. Can someone in this group confirm how many pages I will need to obtain the yearly extension of stay for my Non-O retirement visa and the multiple reentry stamp?

#2 When I receive the extension and multiple reentry stamps before the original expiration date, can I start using the reentry at that time? I do not have a reentry for the current term.

TIA

Hello ☺️

I was hoping for some feedback.

Do you need a passport to fly from Phuket to Bangkok for proof of identification?

My friend who needs to fly with me has a Thai drivers license and I only have an identification card from Australia. Both our passports are being processed for work permits.

Obviously it is up to the airline’s discretion, I’m just curious if anyone has a negative experience where they have not been able to fly domestically within Thailand without a passport.

Thanks so much 🙏🏽

Quick question, heading into BOI to have my LTR-P visa transferred to my new passport. They ask for a copy of old and new passport with your photo… now I would assume that it’s the passport photo page but do they also want 2 separate passport photos? Anyone have any experience with this process? Many thanks in advance.

Hello, i am currently in Thailand and my passport is almost full (i still have some little space left on 2 or 3 pages, enough space for the small stamp of visa exempt entries but 0 blank pages left).

I plan to go to China and then go home from China. But my flight for China is on the same day as my last day allowed by my visa exemption in thailand, which means if i am not allowed to board in, i will have to take a flight the day after to go home, and therefore will get an overstay of 1 day.

I really want to avoid the overstay, i stay in thailand usually 6 months per year and i dont want to get more hassle in the future because of 1 day overstay.

Do you know if its possible in Bangkok to check in online and to through the immigration 1 day before the departure? And then to wait in the boarding area…?

Ps: 2 months ago i have been to China i already had 0 page left on my passport and it was ok at the immigration but the airline did not check… i dont need a visa for china and the stamp is very small, but now i really have not much space on my passport.

Thank you.

For those with Retirement Visas,

How many pages does it take up?

I have my 1st Retirement Visa and it takes up a ungodly amount of pages... if this happens every year i am screwed because my passport does not have that many pages.

Hi guys, posting anon because the group is open and my friends are nosey.

I am planning on applying for the DTV. I saw someone sayin they think they got rejected because they have their middle name on their passport but not on their bank statement. Anyone with any info? In the US it's normal to not use your middle name on documents really. My middle name in my passport but not my bank accounts, credit card, literally nothing else. Should I not even bother as I would waste $400? Thank you so much.

Hello,

I am sending my application today. But one more question😅 I am applying in HCM so on current location can I just take a photo of my entry stamp in Vietnam or should I take picture of every page of my passport?

Thank you!

Anyone know if the passport plays a big role in terms of getting DTV?

Applied Friday for DTV through Dubai embassy as I have UAE Investor Residency, uploaded my Emirates ID and Drivers Licence just in case.

I have an Estonian company with what I work with, I wrote an employment letter from the company to me basically stating I can work any where and have salary of 10k euro monthly. With a wet signature.

As for the bank statement I sent them a Wio Bank PDF showing a balance of more than 70k AED.

I have German was already once to Thailand on visa waiver for 18 days.

Current status is Pending Document Check, only problem I’m currently not in Dubai.
