Hi is it better to obtain a visa in Thailand or in South africa before coming that side

Guys I was send an email from Thai embassy regarding my e-visa for additional documents for previous travel history and I haven’t travelled out of my country before so I sent a letter do you think my visa will be accepted since I haven’t traveled out before

Hi!

Hoping to get clarity and some help from all.

Just got my final approval document for thr LTR Wealthy Pensioner. Yay!

It was my understanding that I would next have to get a stamp issued in my passport. I live in

NYC.

Called NYC embassy twice-of course 2 different answers. They are now telling me i need to apply for the e-visa. Once that’s done i will get another document that i am supposed to take with me upon my next arrival in Thailand to get the stamp in my passport.

I litetally just got back and plan on moving permanently Oct 1. The issuance is valid for 60 days so does that mean i have to fly to Thailand to get the stamp, come back, them move on Oct 1?? Ugh. Or would the e-visa document give me a new timeline?

Any info greatly appreciated

Thx all.

Hello. everyone.

I’m currently in Hanoi to apply for the Workation DTV.

I applied for the e-Visa on Monday the 28th, but the status is still stuck on “Pending Document Check”

For your reference, our previous visa was officially canceled as of today. Could that be the reason for the delay?

The lack of progress is making me anxious — I really need to return to Thailand soon.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for the DTV visa from Vietnam (I’m German).

I read on the Thai consulate website that e-Visa applicants no longer need to go to the embassy in person, but I’m still a bit confused.

📌 After submitting my application online, do I need to visit the Thai Embassy/Consulate in Ho Chi Minh at any point?

Or will everything be done online and I just wait for the confirmation email?

If anyone here has applied from Vietnam, I’d really appreciate hearing your experience. 🙏

Working remote as a meeting booker, does it meet the requirements for the DTV?

I’m currently on a t60 visa (Swedish citizen), is it obligatory to apply for the DTV outside Thailand?

Do I need to visit a embassy to apply through or is it possible via the e-visa?

Bank statements, will they check with the bank or just be satisfied with the proof I declare to them?

Appreciate the help 🙏

When submitting non O for passport biodata on e-visa, do you require all of the pages or just the biodata page? Only jpeg no pdf as option if required all pages.

Update to previous post....

The evisa is a nightmare. They keep asking me for my bank statements proving income over and over....and now on try number 5 they are now saying they want proof of 800 k in particular. They also insist I have the 5 prohibitive diseases health certificate. Ive just gone to the clinic. The one test takes 9 weeks. The tests also cost about 12k baht. Not a train smash but why???? I thought I had done my homework. Clearly not. Goal posts keep shifting. Insane.

My other option is to deposit the 65k into my Bangkok Bank account for 12 months and then apply. Not ideal of course.

Hi. Evisa for non O. What do you do when they now after the fact ask for following up docs...in particular medical certificate in past few months showing no prohibitive diseases. Well I havent had one. Do they mean I must now go for a health check? No mention of a number of things in the online visa system. Now suddenly all these other things. Like ALL the pages of your passport suddenly. Any clarity? I'm in Malaysia

Hi, I'm currently in Thailand but plan to leave to Cambodia to apply for my Non-immigrant O visiting family visa. One of the requirements is to have proof of funds which I have. It asks to have 3 months worth of bank statements. Usually when you apply for the Thai wife visa you need to show bank statements and updated bank books given by the bank on the exact day you apply. Is it the same for the online Non-immigrant O e-visa. Or can I get the bank statements before I leave and still use them to apply a few days later in Cambodia. If anyone has done this I would appreciate if you could let me know the best way to do it. Thanks.

Hi All, Would like to check on the procedures to Apply for Non-O Visa in Vientiane.

Was checking for information in the group and found out that they no longer accept walk-in applications from Jan 2025. Visas Application had to be submitted online on the New E-Visa web.

I am planning to head over Vientiane Next month Aug to apply for Non-O Visa.

So now, I can only apply online at the E-Visa web online when I am in Laos, and print out the application once it’s confirmed and pay at the Vientiane Thai Consulate and wait for about 2-3 work days for approval?

My last application was in 2024, which the old system requires us to book a appointment slot online and walk in submit the documents and collect after 2 work days

Thank you in advance
