If i have 5 years DTV visa, can my family stay with me at thailand with this visa? My wife and 2 children under 18

I have the DTV and I am currently in Thailand with my partner. Does anyone know if it is possible to add my spouse (she is from the Philippines) onto my DTV whilst we are both in Thailand. Or does she need to leave Thailand and then I apply on her behalf. I have received mixed responses on this so I'm not sure what the correct process is. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes.

I have a DTV visa but I am going to get a DTV visa for my wife and my child who is 4 years old. We are planning to apply for it in Kuala Lumpur. Is there a chance that the DTV visa for them could be denied? And how long does the process usually take for a family DTV visa?

Hello!

I’m looking for guidance on visa extension options.

My situation:

I previously worked in Bangkok but have resigned and left the country.

I re-entered Thailand on a visa exemption.

I plan to apply for a Dependent Visa from my home country, but that process can only start in early February.

My current visa exemption expires on 13 January.

My questions:

1. Am I eligible to apply for a 30-day extension of stay on a visa exemption?

2. How many days before the expiry date can I apply?

3. Which immigration office should I go to if I live in the Sathorn area, Bangkok?

Any recent experiences or official guidance would be really helpful.

Thank you in advance 🙏

I am planning to apply for a DTV dependent visa and would prefer a process without an interview.

May I kindly ask which country is currently more convenient and has a shorter waiting time?

Between Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi), Indonesia, and Laos, which option would you recommend based on recent experience?

Went from visa exemption stamp into Non-O 90 days thai child dependent visa in Thailand. Submitted the whole paperwork in 2 sets that is needed for the 1 year extension (hoping I could get one year straight away). Am I right to assume that for the 1 year extension I will have to resubmit everything even if it's the same immigration office? Couldn't ask the IO as he wasn't bothered. He also stamped me a 3 days earlier date. I didn't see it straight away, just thought it was a weird date for the visa expiry. But didn't want to test my luck by complaining. Also, if a new rental contract is needed does it have to start 3 months prior to extension date or on the date of extension for a year (like 30 days before expiration of Non O 90 days)? TIA

Hello,

I know the DTV is relatively new for this question, but just curious if anyone with DTV has thought about raising a family in Thailand or already gave birth to a kid here.

I know the elite visa is probably the best option, but I'm just wondering if it is possible to do this with DTV?

Basically, if two foreigners with DTV give birth to a child in Thailand, can the child stay with the parents on DTV?

We applied for our visa in Jakarta, and the application started on December 1st.

On December 12th, we were requested to submit all passport pages, which we have already uploaded.

As of December 17th, there has been no further update, and the status is still showing “Pending Document Check”.

So far, it has been 14 working days in this status.

I would like to ask others who applied in Jakarta:

• How long did your DTV (Workcation) visa processing take?

• Is this delay normal?

My current visa in Jakarta expires on December 26th.

Once my visa is approved, I plan to apply for my wife as a dependent.

Do you think it is realistic for both of us to receive the visas before December 26th?

If not, would it be necessary for us to do a same-day exit and re-entry via Kuala Lumpur?

Also, once my visa is approved, would you recommend sending an email to request urgent processing for my wife’s dependent visa?

If anyone has applied recently, please share:

• Did your application also take this long?

• How many days did it stay under “Pending Document Check”?

Thank you in advance for your advice and shared experiences.

Good day all,

Can I apply for DTV visa if I have thai wife and children living in Thailand ? I working abroad 3 month on/off. Marriage visa is taking time and hard to renew when I am at work when it's suppose to be renewed.

Hi everyone,

Quick question regarding the DTV dependent visa:

If my DTV application gets approved, can I apply immediately for my spouse and children as dependents before entering Thailand, or do I need to enter Thailand first before submitting their applications?

Also, does applying for dependents right after my DTV approval carry any risk of affecting or canceling my own DTV approval?

Thanks in advance for any clarification 🙏
