planning to apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand by processing it in Laos.

Could anyone kindly share the required documents I need to prepare?

Any tips or recent experience would also be really appreciated.

Thank you so much! 🙏💗

I submitted and paid for my DTV for medical reasons in Phnom Penh and got an email *"Other request documents: please upload samples of portfolio/work"*. I can't find where to upload these.

*To upload the above requested documents, please follow the Applicant’s guide as follows:*

*1. Log in to our website at www.thaievisa.go.th.*

*2. Check “Request Document” notification or click “Manage Visa Application” tab.*

I get until here, but can't find the following tabs.

*3. Select “Status Checking” tab and click “View”.*

*4. After clicking on “Reference No.” tab, please upload requested documents and click “Submit”.*

*5. Confirm the attachment of the requested documents by clicking “Accept & Confirm”.*

*6. Your Booking Status will change form “Request Document” to “Pending Document Check”.*

Where do I find these tabs?

— HELP: STOLEN PASSPORT: flying to bkk soon … who to contact?! Please read below —

I need some advice regarding my Muay Thai DTV (Soft Power) visa and my visa is digital (I have an online copy and a printed version - nothing was in my actual passport luckily)

I applied and was approved digitally in Hanoi, but my old Canadian passport was stolen recently and I now have a new passport. I need to update my passport number for my visa, and the Muay Thai school is updating the invitation letter for me.

Has anyone been in this situation before? Who should I contact, and what steps do I need to take to make sure my visa is recognized when I fly to Bangkok on November 5 from Madrid?

- I have a photo of my old passport

- a photo of my new passport

- police report

- all emails with the Canadian embassy regarding my stolen passport

- all DTV documents/pics digitally I used when applying in Hanoi and being approved

Are there any agents in Chiang Mai or elsewhere who can help with this process also?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated — I want to avoid any issues at immigration.

Thank you!

I'm absolutely fed up with this Visa application.

Every single time I sign in all the information is wrong again.

Passport expiration date says 1933 it should be 2033

Place of birth obviously I put Canada but it keeps coming back to USA.

When I upload my passport photo, the 4x6, it's not centered, will this be rejected cuz it's not centered?

Hi everyone,

I am looking for official translation agencies to help translate my bank staments from Chinese to English.

Googled a few that seem professional.

For the folks who translated their documents with an agency, could you please recommended the agency you used?

Many thanks!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I just got my visa approved on Sep 15th through the Soft Power program.

I applied in Ho Chi Minh on September 4, and even though the embassy asked for some extra documents (and my phone broke at the worst timing ever..55), everything finally worked out.

Big thanks to Wildcat Muay Thai in Chiang Mai — I honestly couldn’t have done it without their guidance and support 🙏

And also thanks to this group for sharing so much helpful info along the way.

Can’t wait to be back in Chiang Mai with my visa and start training soon!

Hi everyone,

Please note that it seems easy, but it is not.

My application is rejected twice - once from The Netherlands, once from Vietnam. Why? We don’t know. I’ve done it through an agency called Issa Compass. They have a legal team making the case for you and apply when they think it’s a 100% go.

They don’t give you any reason. Been to the embassy, been calling everywhere. No answers.

My stuff is in my apartment in Bangkok 😂

Good luck everyone!

Can anyone recommend a visa agency who would cover Kamphaeng Phet

Hi. When i apply for my 1 year extension retirement visa in thailand ...I dont need to show immigration that I have international health insurance right? I do have travel insurance...but i dont need to show any international health insurance? Is that correct?

Hello. I'm applying for the DTV via soft power. My soft power activity offers a visa service for ฿5k. Will hiring this service help to ensure my DTV gets approved? Here are the requirements via the Chicago Embassy, which I would be applying out of online.

It just says "a copy of a recent bank statement". It doesn't give any number of months required. I have 2 months of statements showing a good amount over ฿500k.

I'm currently not employed but receive government benefits which are reflected on my bank statements and are substantial enough to support me while I'm in Thailand. My soft power activity told me this wouldn't be a problem.

Just wondering if the service offers a higher likelihood of approval for me or not, or if I should try to apply on my own.

Thanks for the help and information!
