morning all .

currently on 2nd month of a 60 day visa exempt.

looking to extend for 30 days, but was wondering how long in advance I can go immigration and also apply for the extension.

Also, other than passport, a couple of passport photos and the fee, any other documentation needed. krabi area.

Thank you. 🙏

My friend went to the Bangkok immigration office near Don Meuang (in Laksi Plaza/IT Square, 2nd floor, blue hall) while I was in Samitivej Chinatown about 2 months ago.

She took my passport, doctor’s letter about me not fit to fly, photo of me with the day’s newspaper, something in the photo with the hospital name and logo (a bag, in my case) and possibly a nurse, paid the B1900, and I got a 60-day extension of my visa-exempt status.

Everyone involved was compassionate and helpful.

Further Document Request London:

While most of the documents they have requested are easy to fulfill the one i'm having trouble with is: 'Please visit your UK/Ireland local Bank Branch get the print out of your Personal bank statements with the official stamp and minimum closing balance of 11,000 GBP ,balance within last 30 days and should be hold at least 10 days'

I have the required amount and have held it for many months so that requirement is fine. Only problem is my bank is First Direct in the UK, a digital only bank with no physical bank. I have spoke to customer support and they say they cant provide a stamped bank statement, I even called HSBC the parent company and they said they cant fulfill this either.

I originally uploaded the bank statements as pdfs that I downloaded from my online banking. I have asked AI and its told me to get a paper statement mailed from First Direct and then scan this and attatch a short cover letter explaining the situation, but I can't see why that would be any different to the original pdf I downloaded from my online banking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😃

Has anyone had experience in getting a yellow book recently? My local Amphur Wang Noi Ayutthaya say i need a certified copy of my passport from the British Embassy so I went to the British Embassy yesterday and they said I need to apply on line so I have been trying all morning and to get one i need proof of address and ironically the 1st one is basically a yellow book 🫣 and the other ways all relate to being in the UK 🤔 so as i see it i am unable to do it that way 😳 is this something a agent can help me with?

I understand that I have to leave Thailand to apply for DTV. So I would fly to Vietnam and apply from there. Do you have any experience regarding how long the approval takes?

Swede, work DTV,

Uploaded all docs, inc company registration etc..

Wednesday 19:30 the 14th, pending approval status on the Friday evening before they closed and approved the following Monday at 13:40.

Very basic paperwork, was scared they would ask for more, only uploaded 3 months payslips, not a single question..

Flew into DMK the following day, not a single question, had ALL my docs printed but only gave the immigration lady the DTV e visa approval and she didn’t ask a single question just smiled and stamped me right in.

Good to be back.
