Good day . I’d like to know if anyone one had a valid number for the Royal Thai Consulate-General, Guangzhou I’ve been trying to get hold of them all morning but no response.

If you have any information please share it with me .

Thanks in advance 🌹🌹.

Hi Guys, Have you ever got experience in Royal Thai Consulate in Los Angeles. You were apply for DTV Visa but they're granted TR Multiple Visa. I don't know why and trying to contact the embassy and still waiting for their reply. Anyway i'm Indonesian and just vacation in LA and tried to apply DTV E-Visa in Los Angeles

DTV application at the Royal Thai Consulate in Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Swedish passport, applied as freelance worker/digital nomad (Content copywriter/Translator).

Process took 5 business days (10 days total):

Applied on July 27th, got it approved on August 3rd.

💰 Cost: 300 HKD (around 14300 baht at time of application)

☑️ Step 1, application:

I left Thailand and flew to Hong Kong. Sent my application literally as soon as I got to Hong Kong.

I sent them a work contract from one of my clients, showing that I am employed as a freelancer, and that the position is fully remote. The contract clearly listed the contact information to my client. No info about salary in the contract.

Also uploaded a detailed bank statement, showing all activity in my account from February 1st to July 27th. The balance never went below 500,000 THB during that time.

For proof of location I sent them a photo of my entry slip, that I got when I entered Hong Kong.

☑️ Step 2, request for more documents:

On July 31st, I got an email from the consulate where they asked me to upload a "CV with details including education, employment history and Portfolio" and "Full bank statement(s) with applicant’s name showing secure/stable liquid financial asset with ‘latest 6-month’ account activity details".

So I added a few pages to my current CV where I showed screenshots of my work, both in the original word/excel-files and screenshots of my work published on the clients websites. I included links to every published website I was showing in my portfolio. I also added a page with a cover letter for the consulate, explaining my situation, that I have multiple clients but that the client I sent a contract from, pays me enough to support my ife in Thailand. I also told them that none of my clients are in Thailand and how much my average salary is per month.

I uploaded a bank statement for the same account as earlier, but changed the dates to 31/1 - 31/7 (since they asked for exactly 6 months).

☑️ Step 3, visa approved:

I got the visa in the evening of August 3rd, around 20:00. The consulate closes at 17:00, but I guess the visa is made and sent out through systems that run automatically even after the consulate closes.

I emailed them twice during the process asking for a status update as I had a booked flight on 31/7, but didn't get a reply. So I just waited and booked a new flight after I got my visa.

Landed in BKK today, and got my first 180 day stamp 🥳

Hope this helps some of you! 👌

Also, the HK consulate website says that only residents can apply there. I emailed them beforehand and asked about this and they said I could apply, even though I'm not a resident.

Just got my 60 day visa at the Royal Thai Consulate in Vientiane Laos. Heading back to Thailand tomorrow. It was very easy.

1. Must schedule an appt online

2. Make copies of all need documents( see Embassy website)Takes 3 days including submission day.

After scheduling appt, you get a confirmation email with your que number and time frame (although first come first serve for that time frame)There were around 50 people, took less then an hour. I printed all of my documents and photos in Thailand, (except need to print passport Laos pages in Laos),but there are plenty of printers outside the Consulate. Consulate Staff were very nice, as were all the people we encountered in Laos. ❤️

Stayed at a brand new hotel “NAGA FRONTIER SUITE HOTEL “ near Parkson Mall. The hotel and staff were beautiful. Great breakfast included. Nice Night Market outside the Mall, Mall is new and huge. Plenty of food and supermarket. It all went very easy.

Just wanted to report on TR60 visa experience at HCMC Royal Thai consulate today. They are super strict with the requirements. Need absolutely everything.

- Hotel bookings for EVERY SINGLE 60 days you stay in Thailand

- Flight bookings for into and out of Thailand within 60 days

- 6 months worth of bank statements printed out. I found out that the Thai book bank simply will not work.

- The photo they tell you should be 4x6cm but the form actually asks for 4.5x3.5cm (but both seem to work)

- and yes the America dollar bills must be crisp, pristine and fresh!

And yes there is a nearby printing shop which will help you print the paper and make your pockets a bit lighter as well.

Too bad the actual visa service is operating out of a twenty foot shipping container. Super hot there and no fan. Not sure if this is just a temporary thing.

I just have a small question. I booked the 60 days accomodation in thailand and it got free cancellation before November 1. Would it be safe to cancel the accomodation now, since the consulate staff already have my paper documents? Or should I wait until after I pick up my visa in a few days?

Malaysia Penang Royal Thai Consulate requirements for Visa application. TR and non-immigrant. September 2022

#penangmalaysiathaiconsulate #touristvisa

Requesting help finding an insurance company that would cover all requirements to obtain a

( Non-OA retirement visa )

obtained at the royal Thai consulate in Los Angeles

I am requesting someone who has used or is using a current insurance company that they have obtained a

( Non-OA Retirement Visa )

that’s fulfils all the requirements such as

COVID-19- -COE- and the 400,000 inpatient and 40,000 outpatient

requirements

on the official Royal Thai Consulate website there are only 18 approved insurance companies

somebody had mentioned Luma and I contacted them and asked them for A policy that would fulfils

requirements for this Non- OA Quoted me 220,000 baht for a 62-year-old male for a year

and funny enough this Luma insurance agent sent a comparison with Pacific Cross for a similar coverage of 70,000 baht per year??

and I do not want to buy an insurance policy from a company that is not on this approved list,

I have seen people saying “it’s just fine with the insurance company I’m sending you reference to”??

unless they personally have bought and use this insurance to obtain the specific type of visa I’m applying for

( Non-OA Retirement Visa )

I’m not interested

I will only be back in America for a short period of time and don’t have time to buy insurance that is not excepted by the royal Thai consulate for my Visa

if anyone can help this confused retired American I would appreciate it

Thank you very much!

Does anyone have experience with a COE (Certificate of Entry)? I fly in 5 days to Bangkok and I am wondering how does the COE work.

Is it a document that the Royal Comsulate sends to my email?

Do I have to drive 9 hours to Chicago to pick it up in person?

Or is it in some kind of system that the Thai officials can access at the airport?

The Royal Thai Consulate have sent me an email saying that they have issued it to me but I’m kind of confused because no documentation of COE is in my email. Thanks for all your help in advance

Hello Everyone,

My bf already mailed hard copy to Royal Thai Consulate in Chicago on December 22nd, 2020.

How long will the passport turn back ?

Anyone have experienced about mailing to Chicago?

Please feel free to share your experiences to us and anyone who are looking for info.

Thank you very much
