So I have been living and working in Japan for around 15 years or so, but have never really needed to get my PR, so haven't gone down that route. I have a spouse visa though. Does anyone know if this is going to be good enough to apply for the DTV in Tokyo or is it strictly PR? Can anyone with experience please share their insights? I've read mixed reports, but mostly stating PR is a must. TIA!

Happy to announce my visa was approved. I then put in for my husband’s visa as my spouse and husband was approved last night. Couple of issues with my visa application. However, this was my issue not the Embassies.

Thanks for all the help in this group. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hello everyone,

I am currently preparing my application for the DTV Visa to settle in Thailand, and I’ve encountered a situation that left me quite confused.

On the official embassy website, they list all the required documents for this visa, but there is no mention of needing flight or accommodation details. However, when I tried to submit my application, I was asked for an arrival and departure date, a flight number, and proof of accommodation.

* My main concerns:I cannot book a flight without knowing whether my visa will be approved, especially since the Thai Embassy in Paris takes about a month to process applications.

Additionally, they ask for accommodation details, but I would rather wait until my visa is approved before making any reservations.

* Question : Has anyone here faced this situation? How did you manage to fill out these fields without booking a flight or accommodation?

Furthermore, I’d like to know if it’s possible to submit a spouse visa application for my partner at the same time as my DTV Visa to avoid wasting more time.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experiences or tips regarding these points. 😊

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

I applied for a spouse visa in HCM on the afternoon of the 28th afternoon.

The status of the checking document was changed to pending approval on Sunday, and until today, neither additional documents have been requested nor approval has been received. I have submitted all the required docs as:

PP bio

HCM arrival stamp

Flight ticket

Hotel booking in HCM

6months bank statement with 500k Baht under my name

Cover letter

My husband's DTV visa

Sponsorship letter from my husband

Marriage certificate

What I'm worried about now is that my flight is tomorrow afternoon, so if I don't have the approval yet, will I be able to pass through the Thai immigration as the arrival visa?

Please also assist sharing if you have any experience about what to do for the stamp if I get approved after arriving in Thailand 🥹

Thank you 🙏

I am on a Retirement Visa and my <Filipina> Girlfriend is under 50 years of age…

What Visa options does my Filipina Girlfriend have to stay with me in Thailand permanently?

My wife is currently working has a teacher in Thailand and I would like to be get my non o. Is it possible to swop your tourist visa to non o inside of Thailand?

When does the spouse apply for the dtv ?

If I apply for dtv does it also allow my spouse to come and live with me?

Hi

Relating to your spouse who may not be 50 and they have to apply for 2: 20. Request for extension of stay - In the case of being a family of an alien who has been granted permission to temporarily reside in the Kingdom.

There is no information regarding when she turns 50 regarding this. If I am obtaining my 1 year extension based on retirement can she continue to request this extension based on the fact she is my spouse.

Only age requirements I can see relate to children not being over 20 and that the father or mother must be over 50.

Ok good people, I'm 54 I have a pension that pays over the DTV requirements, my wife is under 50 for the retirement visa and shares my income.

My question is, how do I get a DTV for both of us and is there a joint DVT and requirements?

We are UK based and are due in Thailand back end of February 25.

Thanks for any help.
