Hello again! Got my husband and daughter approved for their DTV’s as dependents via the Washington DC embassy.

Here is my original post for when I got approved:

[members only]/?

September 6 - submitted their applications

September 23rd - requested my marriage certificate, passports of both mother and father, and flight itinerary with all of our names on it.

I had already submitted our marriage certificate but I guess they missed it so I resubmitted.

I had already submitted my passport but I resubmitted with mine and my husbands.

I had already submitted the flight itinerary so I resubmitted.

Our situation was a little crazy. We are taking our dogs with us and our original flight was Tuesday, September 24th. Dogs got denied boarding (story for a different time), and so we had to rebook our flights to tonight, September 27th.

September 24th - my husbands visa got approved but we didn’t hear back about my daughters visa.

September 25th - request for more info for our daughter. They wanted an updated flight itinerary because they “can’t approve a visa for anyone currently in Thailand” because according to our original itinerary we were already there. I resubmitted our updated itinerary and wrote a kind cover letter explaining what happened and then something to the effect of, “My visa and my husbands visa have been approved already. I appreciate the expedited nature of this application for my daughter so she has no trouble entering with us.”

Hers was approved later that day.

I borrowed money from my mom to have the full $32k in my account for their applications as I wasn’t able to get a clear answer as to if each applicant needed their own 500,000 baht.

For all three of our applications, DC took from 12-16 business days to process.

On our way to the Houston airport to move! ✌️✌️

Hey, looking to get my Pomeranian out to Thailand, anyone know the process and which vaccines to get? Many thanks

I'm researching bringing our Chihuahua to Thailand with me from the US. Anyone have tips for making this process smoother. He's tiny and ancient and would need to come in the cabin with me. I've already got an appointment at a USDA certified Vet. And so far, I've found that Saudia Air only allows pets in Cargo area not inside Cabin. That's what I flew last time to Thailand, obviously there's tons of other airline options for stopover. Thanks!

Hello all

Taking our dog with us to Thailand (for our retirement)

We are looking at Lufthansa as they allow dogs in the cabin (in suitable pet carriers and subject to size and weight restrictions) alternatively the pet can go into the aircraft hold

The emotional side of me wants her to be with us, she is very timid and very close to me so will take comfort from hearing my voice and being able to see me

The other side of me is thinking, in the cabin, she will be cooped up in a carrier for 12 hours, similarly to us wearing a straitjacket and perhaps she would be more comfortable in the hold and some reports suggest being in the hold can be less stressful

Anyone have any opinions or experience on which option is the best and no. leaving her behind is absolutely not an option

Serious question to all you Expats (especially from the UK) on here who have sold up in the Uk and made Thailand your forever home

*Edit I’m more interested in the actual time scale to move to Thailand, not overly concerned about how long it takes to sell my home though that would be part of the process *

In your experience/ opinion, if (for example) we decided 1st August this year we wanted to sell your home and move permanently to Thailand to retire, subject to our home selling within 3 months (start to handing over the keys)

How quickly would you expect the whole process to take (as in from deciding, yes we are going to do this to moving into long term rented accommodation in Thailand)

Could we literally put our home up for sale beginning of August and subject to it being sold within 3 months, fly out of the UK (one way remember, WITH OUR DOG) mid/end November?

Thank You (as always)

Please stick to the question, we will not be renting out our home

Any advice on MOVING to Thailand with a cat? Which airlines are more recommended? I've booked a flight with Cathay Pacific only to read that as of June 2022 they're no longer accepting bookings for pets as checked luggage, only cargo. That's not an option for me. Ideally I'd love for him to travel in the cabin with me or at least the same flight. Coming from the US. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all

Recommendations for pet travel from USA to Bangkok

Thanks

Hi,

Can anyone share your experience bringing a cat from USA to Thailand?

A family member is traveling over. Her kitten is a few months old now, but we wouldn't want to put her under the plane since she's like the runt of the litter and is a tiny girl.

My family member has the cat as emotional support but we aren't sure if we can or should put the cat up for such a long ride especially if she has to ride as cargo.

Singapore Airlines Is the airline we are using.
