Hello everyone,

I currently have an Extension of Stay (based on Non-B) stamp that expires on Dec 25. I’m not renewing it because I plan to apply for a DTV visa from Vietnam.

Plan:

• Leave Thailand on Dec 22 (4 days before the extension expires)

• Work permit will be cancelled before I depart

• I’d like to submit my DTV online application on Dec 22 (same day I fly out)

Question:

Do I still need to go to Immigration to cancel the Extension of Stay even though it has only 3 days left, or can I just depart normally without canceling it?

Thanks in advance for any advice/experience.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone recently got approved for DTV visa from the NewYork consulate and if yes, what was the processing time? For context, it’s been ~3+ weeks since I applied but it included a few holidays (Thanksgiving). Also, I’m a non-US citizen but on a valid visa for the past 8 year. Please do share your experiences. I’m eagerly awaiting a response as I’m traveling to Thailand in January.

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?

Hello, has anyone used Ubon Visa for applying for the DTV visa. I want to apply while I’m in the UK. Their reviews on Google look good and my friend recommended them that lives in Bangkok. Thanks in advance

Hello, just wondered if anyone has recently applied for remote worker DTV from either Taiwan or Vietnam and if they have any tips on the process/documents. I was going to apply from Taiwan in January but looks like Hanoi in Vietnam is a better option right now? Any advice is MUCH appreciated. Thanks ☺️ 🙏🏻
