Guys I am reading the requirements for HCM [members only], and I have a few doubts.

2.2. Photograph taken within the last six months

What kind of photo, same than the photo for the passport? same size?

2.3. Document indicating current location

This is the hotel booking in HCM, for example?

2.4 Document stating purpose of visit:

Is there any template to have a look?

3) in case there is no employment, professional portfolio showcasing digital nomad, remote worker, foreign talent or freelancer status.

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024?

Should my portfolio showcase my entire career, like a resume, or focus only on my work from 2024? I'm asking because, in 2023, I worked as an employee, and this is my first year as a freelancer.

Thanks

Is it okay to do your own photo and submit to the embassy? Will they say something?

Dumb question but I scanned my 4x6cm photo and it has the photo in the center of a white background (sheet of paper) so it looks fairly small. Does this work or I need to crop the white background and make sure the actual jpg file size is also 4x6 cm?

For those who applied in Taipei, on the website it says application to include 2 inches passport photo. I don't really understand that dimension. Is it asking for a 2x2 inch photo? But on most application forms I see it requesting 4cm x 6cm. Just want to clarify what passport photo dimension the Taipei embassy is asking for

Hi all!

Anyone has been to Jakarta embassy and had to do the pictures? Do you know if we can do them at the embassy?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Since I will be doing my first Non o visa extension (marriage) soon, I need help with some details. I would really appreciate it if someone could answer my questions, as I want to be prepared and not have to go back to the Immigration office multiple times.

1. My first question is about the House lease agreement.

I live in a condo with my wife, a rented apartment. I have a rental agreement, I have a copy of the apartment owner's ID (with her signature) and a copy of the household registration, blue book (with her signature).

Are these documents sufficient or must they be originals when applying?

2. Regarding the family photos, I know I need two photos in front of my building showing my wife and me and the building number. Two photos inside (kitchen, bedroom).

Can I print two photos on one page of regular A4 paper, landscape? Are there any special rules about those photos, other than not being selfies?

3. And the last thing is about the map.

Can I print on top of the A4 paper a google map from my building to the Chaeng Wattana office and below that, on the same paper, draw a map of the route from my building to the first main road?

P.S. I will get a total of three documents from the bank. A letter proving sufficient financial savings, a statement for the last three months and an updated bank book on the day of application.

I have no questions about the other conditions, they are clear to me.

Please note, I will do the extension in BANGKOK, Chaeng Wattana office.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi hope everyone is well. I'm applying my DTV visa from London, UK. Submitted all my documents on Monday. Got an email regarding 'Request for Further document' -Photograph taken within the last six months.: - Please use your mobile phone to take a selfie photo in plain white background and close up your head and top of your shoulders.(Your face must be clear and in focus and take up 70–80% of the photo.).

orginally I had uploaded passport photo I had taken 3 months ago. Not sure why this was not acceptable. Anyhow, I'm having issues submitting the the uploaded photo. It says I've submitted but when I refresh, the application seems to be stuck on processing with message "There is an application that requires your attention. Please click the icon with a red dot."

Anyone else experience this, at one point I did see a "The team is fixing and updating the system." message, when I refreshed.

Thanks,

As part of the visa application, they asked for a HD digitized photo, is this an ID photo that I have to scan in HD? Where is a link, a file that I have to forward with my visa application?

Another question, I have to provide an insurance certificate for my OA visa with a cover of 3000000 Baths. What kind of insurance would you recommend, with good value for money?

Thank you for your advice.

Dans le cadre de la demande de visa, il est demandé une photo numérisée HD, s’agit-Il d’une photo d’identité que je dois scanner en HD ? Où d’une lien, d’un fichier que je dois transmettre avec ma demande de visa ?

Autre question, je dois fournir une attestation d’assurance pour mon visa OA avec une couverture de 3000000 Baths. Quelle assurance pourriez-vous me conseiller, d’un bon rapport qualité/prix.

Merci pour vos conseils.

Airport reentry permits, do I have to bring a photo and and PP copies?
