My passport has about 2 years validity left in it.

If i get a 5 year SP visa and it needs to get transferred to the new passport, will I encounter problems with immigration and proof of enrollment in a course ?

Hi there, Need some advice please..Coming to Thailand in January for a month…4 days Bangkok then a week to Vietnam before returning to Thailand…Do I need to apply for a separate TDAC to get back into Thailand from Vietnam ? Or will my original TDAC to gain entry to Thailand be sufficient? Thanks for any help…Regards George.

re-entry permit question:

I leave Thailand tomorrow and don’t plan on leaving the country again during the rest of my visa extension but there might be an emergency situation - who knows.

If I get a single re-entry does that mean I have no more chances to leave on my current visa?

Who is the multiple re-entry for? Frequent flyers?

Thanks 🙏

Hi all. My husband has to cancel his OA extension because he’s been offered a paid position in Thailand, so will need to go to the Thai embassy in his home country to obtain the new visa. We’re in Bangkok. My question: after he goes to immigration to cancel the OA, how quickly does he have to leave Thailand? Are there a couple of days grace period or does he have to leave immediately? Thanks for any advice.

UPDATE: Received my approval email with my DTV visa at 2:15pm today (Monday)!

Hi, I landed in Da Nang on Tuesday and applied for my DTV visa Tuesday night with the Hanoi embassy on the online portal. I got a request for additional documents (June bank statement and business registration) on Wednesday at 4:10pm and submitted them along with a cover letter within the hour. I showed them that I have 1.5 Million Baht in my accounts. I haven't heard anything from them since they requested the additional documents and I really need to figure out my travel arrangements. Has anyone else had a similar experience - if so, how long did it take to get a decision?

Right now, my status is Processing Pending Approval (1)

Planning to stay in Thailand from September until April. Around 8 months. I plan to leave the country during this period a few times for short visits in other countrys. I spent already 30 days and 75 day this year in the country on visa exempt. Do you recommend the METV? Could that cause any issues?. Or should I better go for a DTV. Was never questioned before at immigration.

First time seeing, request Cambodia visa extension. Instead of border bounce to Vietnam better to do extension when Cambodia visa is running out. Evisa website clearly states that must be in person which country u apply. Now DTV process in Cambodia so slow.

Has anyone had success applying for the DTV visa in a neighboring country? Which one has the easiest Thai embassy?
