Hello everyone,

just curious if anyone have been requested for the futher documenations when applying for the DTV(remote work) as below and how to deal with it as it´s doesnt make any sense to me. I have a ticket to Thailand but not back yet because i am not sure when ill going back. Also i have booked accomodation for the 7 days and provided them the recipe, but having accomodation for the whole stay(possible 6 months) is crazy. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you

Other request documents: ticket to and out of Thailand, travel itinerary shall start in Czech Republic

Other request documents: proof of accommodation showing applicant's name for whole stay in Thailand

hi , I am trying to make an online appointment for an extension of my retirement visa at Bangkok immigration office but I hv been checking on the website calendar for several days that the whole December n January are fully booked. all the dates are shaded.

the notice said all appointments till January 17 are full n shaded and so are all other days in January.

is this normal or hv I made any mistakes?

anyone can share their experience? thank you for your time.

Just Landed in BKK ~ On my 8th trip this year . No visa Run - Stays vary between 7-14 days each trip !

Asked to show my bank account ( App ) , What I do for work ( Pilot - Crew ) . End of story !

I was sent my way .

Ps: I think , it’s only a red flag if you have Multiple visa runs & staying close to your exemption timeline .

Happy Hollidays All 😵

Past work & travel history

Confirmation of no work in Thailand

No request to upgrade course length, and no extra documents after interview.

Has anyone recently gone through the DTV visa process in Vientiane and can share how long it took to get called for the interview and receive the visa?

Any recent experiences, timelines, or tips would be super helpful!

If anyone has direct contacts at the embassy, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi does anyone know if these fast track sites you see online for Don Mueang actually help you get through immigration quicker and smoothly? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi everyone,

I couldn’t find many older posts about this, so I wanted to ask:

Has anyone here applied for a DTV visa through the Thai Embassy / Consulate in Ankara, Turkey?

How long did the process take in your experience?

And overall, did you have a positive impression of the consulate and the way they handled the application?

Any success stories from Pakistan 🇵🇰?

I just did my first 90 day report in Ubon Ratchathani and I was completed in 5 minutes. I handed my completed TM47 and passport to first desk, they told me to go to the next officers desk. They checked passport and stamped a receipt for 90 days. There was NO CHARGE for this. I took a heap of documents with me but didn’t require anything else.

Ubon Ratchathani Immigration is the best. They made this very simple.

DTV Approved!

I just had my application approved from the embassy in Jakarta.

Submitted on: 3rd December

Approved on: 14th December

Wait time: 11 days total (6 business days)

Submitted all the docs requested for the workaction route and additional docs based on the information I've seen this embassy requesting additionally just to anticipate the request.

Happy to guide people through my application if you want to send me a DM.
