Should I reapply for DTVSIA in Jakarta, Indonesia, after being rejected in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam? How long should I wait before reapplying? I don’t know the exact reason for the rejection, but I suspect it may have been due to missing documents. I want to prepare everything properly and try again.

Has anyone been approved at age 21 as a freelance software developer? I think they may not have trusted my income source.

Canadian just applied for DTV from Japan Tokyo embassy.

So apparently I need my documents notarized since I’m not from Japan/Thailand.

Any Canadians have experience with this? We’re from British Columbia but apparently the Tokyo embassy doesn’t notarized BC documents?

I.e., do we physically have to go back to BC, Canada to notarize our documents?

Just did my visa extension at Korat Immigration. It was a (seriously) pleasant experience. Doing my TM30/90 day report took around 10 minutes in total and the officers at the desk where you get the forms at were extremely helpful - they explained exactly what documents I needed and helped annotate documents where needed. There's a quaint little print shop just across the road that does photos and document printing.

In the end I submitted (for workcation):

- Bank statements going back to January

- Pay slips (the company I work for uses JustWorks so it was basically just a spreadsheet showing when I was paid)

- A printout of the website for the company I work for (literally just hit print on the main page lol)

- An example of my work - I printed one of the newsletters I wrote for the company

- All the other forms they give you on the day (basically address/passport information over and over again)

I was asked to clarify which balances were my savings (Revolut's statements are a bit confusing) and then the officer asked me when I'm going to marry my girlfriend 555. They asked my girlfriend in Thai about some details about my work so I showed them some more examples of completed work on my phone. I think this might mean they care that I'm actually working, not only about the numbers in my bank account. Everything is legit so I wasn't worried.

I came in about 1:30 and finished at 5.

Has anyone used PDC Visa Khonkaen ?? Are they legit? I asked for a quote to process a dtv, using a class in Udon or somewhere in Issan. They replied and wanted to see every page of my passport. Is this normal behavior? I simply asked if they have a muay thai or cooking class in Issan, and the price for their services, 😄 🤣 😂 😆

Has anyone done a recent 180days extention in BKK? How was the process?

UPDATED POST WITH MY PROCESS FOR APPLICATION AND SPOUSAL APPLICATION

Hey everyone!

I have just reentered into BKK on my DTV (my second since getting it in February) and my husband has just entered on his, via being a spouse dependent on mine.

This was the quickest and easiest immigration entry I've ever done.

I can, if anyone wants to know, both processes for applying for a DTV, as myself and then for my husband.

Let me know in the comments.

Got my DTV Visa approved today, and wanted to share the relatively painless process!

I'm doing soft power, through a cooking school in Chiang Mai that has a program made for DTV. I paid 63,000 baht for a program that's supposed to last for a minimum of 140 hours of cooking classes, and it took about a week from applying to the program to getting a pdf file from them with all the DTV info I'd need for proof of enrollment.

Following that, I applied for the DTV through the Chicago consulate on July 9th. I just got it approved today (July 16), a total of about 6 full business days. I enclosed the DTV pdf file from the cooking school (after reducing its size), a picture I took of myself on my phone, pictures of my passport page, and a bank statement for June of this year. My bank statement also held notably more than the minimum requirement.

All in all, both faster and less painful than I was expecting. Aiming to land in Chiang Mai in two months to kick off my stay in Thailand!
