am looking at a DTV. Would love to hear from people that have actually applied for this recently. Would appreciate some advice, especially when and where to apply. Am in Hua Hin at the moment and leaving Thailand in 2 weeks.
I have accommodation booked for the month of September in Hua Hin.
Will be in Cape Town for August where I would have the whole month to tackle the DTV.
Hi. Anyone know where I can get a large basket Air Fryer in Thailand. Not the twin tiny ones or a single small one, that's all I have seen. Also anyone know where or if they sale electric pressure cookers in Thailand or online. Much appreciated for any advice.
Hi all, my tourist visa was denied because when they asked for additional documentation it did not align with the original accommodation. I originally had an invitation to stay, and for the additional documentation supplied a hotel accommodation because the invitee is also on a tourist visa.
My visa was cancelled by the Thai Embassy.
So now I am looking for an agent to help me complete my visa to be sure it won’t be denied again!
I am looking for some recommendations of reputable companies and agents.
Background: Anyone who has spent time in the ‘Rose of the North’ probably knows Chiang Mai immigration is notorious for being extremely busy with hundreds of people queuing per day starting before sunrise.
Lamphun office is tiny and barely sees anyone.
Question: if someone stays one night in Lamphun and gets the property to file a TM30, can you use the Lamphun office for an extension on a tourist visa or visa exempt entry?
It’s a 30 minute drive and rooms from 300฿. Why not have an overnight holiday to save spending 8-12 hours at immigration?
I’ve convinced my friends to try this so they don’t lose a day of their holiday.
Am I wrong? If so, the group will tell me quickly.
Hey everyone, any tips for applying from Bali? Would the Muay Thai course letter need to be addressed to the embassy in Jakarta? Anyone had success applying online for DTV e-visa from Bali specifically? I'm flying to Bali tomorrow from DMK. Many thanks🙌🙏
