Hello, quick question, I am planning to submit my application for DTV in Hanoi, for remote work.

Regarding the documents required to prove ongoing relationship with clients (contract with client, letter from client saying that you can work from thailand, etc.) do these documents need to be written in English, or can I provide original documents and letters in my native language (since my client is located in France), along with a translation made by myself ?

Thanks for any advices :)

Does anybody have any experience with the Thai embassy in Frankfurt, Germany ?

How long does the usual process take for a soft power muy Thai DTV ? What documents were def. Needed here more then elsewhere.

I’m unsure when to book my flight, because i need one to apply for the visa but don’t want to be in the situation, not having the visa approved before the flight is leaving..

thanks ✌🏼

✔️DTV approved! 🥂✨

I submitted my application on October 7th at 23:43, and my visa was approved on October 9th at 15:51 - that’s just around 40 hours in total!

I applied through the Royal Thai Embassy in Warsaw, and the whole process was very smooth.

If anyone has any questions about the application steps or required documents, feel free to reach out - I’m happy to help! 🇹🇭✨

Hello everyone ✨

I recently received a request for additional documents from the Thai Embassy for my DTV, and I’m really struggling with it. So I'm here to request a little bit of help 😪

I’ve attached a screenshot with their latest message.

Here is the translation :

" -Other request documents: Bank statement/certificate showing that your account has had a credit balance above 15,000 euros per month for the last 3 months.

- Other request documents: Your file is suspended, please call the visa section of the Thai Embassy in Paris between 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-16:00 on working days."

I am having huge difficulties contacting the embassy directly. I keep getting bots or automated messages (no real person), no matter which option I choose... I feel really stuck and very worried.

Has anyone actually succeeded in getting through to a real person at the Paris embassy, and if so, how?

They specifically tell me I must contact them, but I just can’t, and this situation is getting very stressful.

On top of that, regarding the bank document: my French bank says they’re unable to provide the exact certificate the embassy asks for. They told me my latest account statement, showing I’ve had the 15,000 euros since May, should be enough, and that’s all they’re able to give me. Has anyone else had similar requests or problems with this requirement? Unfortunately, I don’t have the month-by-month account statements for the past three months, only the official letter I already provided.

If you have any advices or testimonials about your own experience and how you managed to get a solution, especially for contacting the Thai Ambassy, It would be extremely helpful. 🥺

Thank you so much in advance,

Lolita

Good morning, my non-B visa expires on October 31, 2025. I made an appointment through the immigration website for renewal on the 31st. Is that correct, or will the officers cause any problems if I renew it on the same day? Thank you for your clarification.

So I basically have a non-B visa with work permit. I reminded my company a month in advance that I need the documents to extend my visa. But they delayed a lot as I am the first foreigner in the company and they do not know the procedures. I now have about a week to get my visa extended.

They are still trying to go through the normal route without a visa agent and I think they have the necessary documentations already. But they said that if the immigration officer requests for any additional documents, we may need to pay for a visa agent. They company expects me to pay for this. Is this normal? I feel like I would be paying for their mistakes as I reminded them a month in advance.

And what are the documents that are needed? Is it possible to get the visa extended within a week? O

UPDATE: we've had to go sponsor route. Even more document requirements.

Does anyone know time frame you have to upload the additional documents requested? It will take me 2 weeks to get one of the docs. Thank you!

Got my DTV approved from London today. Just in time as I fly on Thursday! It took approx 7 working days from uploading my documents. Happy to give any info on what I did to help anyone with the process.

What is the process of transferring a non b visa stamp to a new passport at chaeng whattana? Can’t find much information online. Has anyone done this recently? What documents do I need? Thank you. (Also how long was the queue for this service lol)

How do you guys take SIM in Thailand? Is it straightforward, what documents they ask? Since I am planning to stay long-term (DTV) or at least visit time to time so visitor's SIM is not an option and I want to get a full local SIM. Where to get the SIM, at the airport or from city center for better rates? For the network, AIS is the best I guess?
