Hi,

I have lodged an application for my DTV, as a dependent on my finance visa, but we are not married. I want to withdrawal my application and apply for my own DTV as a brand new applicant (as I now know this won’t be approved as we are not legally married)

My question is, can I withdrawal my old application and apply again? Or do I need to wait till the application is rejected? I’m mvoing there really soon, and still not got my visa sorted. If anyone has any advice please.

I am wondering if anyone here has had experience with applying for a dependant on your DTV visa that is an adult child that has a disability. I know normally the requirements for a child dependant is under 20 yrs old, but I was told that as long as I can prove that I can financially support my son and have a letter from his doctor confirming his disability (since he can not work) that he can be approved . Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my situation

I’ve been staying in Thailand on a DTV visa while working remotely. My wife also got a DTV visa as my dependent.

Now I’ve received a full-time job offer in Bangkok, and the company will provide me a Non-B visa.

I’d like to ask

1. If I switch to a Non-B visa, can my wife continue staying in Thailand with her current DTV visa, which was applied as a dependent under mine? (Her DTV stamp doesn’t mention “dependent.”)

2. After 6 months, when she needs to do a border bounce to renew her stay, will there be any issue re-entering Thailand since my DTV will no longer exist?

3. Would it be safer to cancel her current DTV visa and apply for a Non-O dependent visa later (even though I’ll still be in my probation period under the new job)?

Thank you very much in advance for your advice and experiences!

Hi, will I be accepted on my partners DTV if we are engaged and have children together? I’m getting mixed messages about this. We have been together for 10 years and have children, bought a house together etc.

Or is it strictly only accepted as a dependent on his visa if we are officially married? Thank you

Hoping for some advice...

My husband is currently on a 1-year retirement visa. Now the change in law means he can apply for a dependent visa as I have a 1-year work visa. He's applying via UK embassy e-visa, and we'll go across to Vietnam and reenter to activate it. His current retirement visa expired on 4th Nov. If he leaves on the 4th and enters in the 5th, will that cause any issues? My HR dept. is saying he would need to go to immigration and get the cancelled stamp on the retirement visa or it could cause issues is that correct?

Husband is 51, planning on coming to Thailand next month. Wondering pros and cons of applying for Retirement Visa before we leave or when we arrive? I will be applying as a dependent spouse and we have an 11 year old as a dependent visa to my husband’s retirement visa. Just starting to travel and planning on hitting most of Asia over the next few years with Thailand as “home base”. Thoughts?
