When your 90 days for your initial non-b is nearing expiration I assume you go to your local immigration office to get it extended.

Does immigration office also stamp your passport for the extension?

Anyone used this seminar to apply for the DTV? It only costs 3999.00 Baht. It says you have to attend only once per month online. The website says it qualifies for the DTV. I wonder if its legit or scam.

Hey guys, just a quick question regarding the bank statement... I'm going to be sending 6 months of my Wise account (with the official Wise verification stamp and signature included), however the currency I have is RON (Romanian Lei). Will this be okay?

The statement is 100% in English, but the currency is not USD or EUR, it's RON.

500,000 Thai Baht is around 70,000 Romanian Lei. Shall I send an XE screenshot showing the conversion?

Thank you

I would like to share how I got my DTV visa in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

This group helped me a lot during my preparation and that's why I wanna contribute too.

❗I applied in September and at that time, the embassy accepted walk-in application, however, it will change to Evisa starting from 8th October.

General info

--------------------

The process was pretty easy in my case.

No appointment was needed.

I applied on a Friday and got an appointment next Friday.

The processing time was pretty long though.

There was no interview.

Visa fees $400

Documents I submitted

---------------------------------------

✅Passport

✅Passport front page copy

✅Visa application form

(1 photo, white background, 3.5 x4.5 cm)

✅Place of stay in Thailand (condo rental contract)

✅Flight ticket (not a mandatory though, since I have already bought one, I submitted it also)

✅Workcation category

•Work contract

•Recommendation letter

•Payslips (6 months)

✅Bank statement (3months)

•With Myanmar bank account

•The account has been opened for more than 1 year but was inactive without transactions.

•Put the money 2 weeks prior to my application date

✅Bank certificate

•I requested the bank to include the currency in both MMK and USD.

•Both of my bank statement and bank certificate are not the original documents. Since I am already in Thailand, my mom helped me get the documents and sent me the scanned copies. I submitted with the sacnned ones and that was okay.

I have also made a video about this but I'm sorry it's not in English sub.

Hope this helps!

All the best ☘️

How can I get a Performer’s / actors “O” type visa?

Long story short.

I am a successful touring DJ , singer, and music producer (played major festivals with Snoop Dogg, SEVENTEEN, etc) actress (commercials only) , and content creator.

I am not SAG-AFRA. But I’ve booked major TV commercials.

I know in Japan for example, there’s companies like GxPlus , Halo Live, etc who sponsor foreign entertainers and YouTubers for the explicit purpose of promoting Japan soft power and allowing them to work with Japanese brands etc.

I’m guessing there are similar companies here, as I have seen foreigners in ads, commercials, and obviously DJing etc.

I have a large Asian and western following with many media articles about me to prove this for immigration sake (I know many countries ask for media coverage)

Anyways does this sound plausible?

I don’t care about the actual earning potential in baht because I still earn passively from my US / Canadian work.

Applied on August 27

Approved on Sept. 19

Things I included:

*A cover letter stating my remote work, reason for wanting visa, and not only the documents I was including, but other documents I could provide if asked (such as tax documents, full portfolio, my employee contract, etc.)

*Screenshot of bank account with current balance of needed funds and my name

*A Remote Work Contract letter that I drafted and had my employer sign, stating my release to work remote and my role & responsibilities working remote.

Hope this helps! Going to apply for my husband and daughter now.

I’m scheduled to visit immigration tomorrow, the 15th, for my first “check-in” (not sure of the exact terminology) for my new Non-o visa based on marriage.

Long story short, my dog needed surgery yesterday, so while I remembered the date, I lost track of the days.

Does anyone know what I should expect when I go on Monday morning? It seems I’m not able to do this online.

Many thanks in advance.

Applying from the Netherlands at 23 aug.

After 3 days they asked for extra documentation. Send on Friday 30. After a few hours the status changed to pending approval. Does anyone know how much longer it might take? It’s getting very close to my leaving date..
