Has anyone entered Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for their DTV visa to be granted, and then come back to the country where they submitted the application from when they receive it and then enter Thailand again on the DTV?

If you have done this, please let me know if you had any problems or if all was okay.

I’ve waited a long time for my DTV an it’s still pending approval. I need to get back to Thailand now.

Many thanks..

Hey all, i have an appointment for my DTV workation visa in Laos. It says bring relevant original documents. Should i just bring my laptop with all my work on it or is it better to print things out?

Thanks in advance

will be arriving in thailand february, and thanks to advice on here will hopefully be on a non o visa,

the question is my passport runs out in september and i will be applying for a 1 year extension in march/april, is it easy to transfer my extension to a new passport or would it be better to get a new passport now

TIA bob

Is there any actual requirement for how long the 500,000THB must be in your account for? I’m seeing nothing online about there having to be a strict time frame however it seems they’re less likely to accept if less payslips? Thanks for your help!

Can anyone recommend a visa agent they used in Kuala Lumpur?

Hi there,

I just applied today for my DTV visa. I am an offshore worker from UK. I live in Phuket Thailand but have been using the tourist visa with no problems for the past few years. After returning to Phuket from work last time I was told I cannot keep using the free visa.

I submitted today all my information, 6 months of payslips, bank account savings in showing over the required amount. My work gave me a letter to confirm I am a remote worker but put my passport I was using up until earlier this year. I still have the passport but I am concerned that they may reject based on that it is not the same as the passport I submitted. I have applied to the Thai embassy in South Africa.

Does anyone have any insight on my situation or anyway I can send an updated document to the embassy now that it is submitted?

Many thanks

Hi all, need a bit of advice, I am planning a visit to Hanoi, I am from the UK. Can I apply for a Retirement non O visit at the Thai Embassy in Hanoi? I don’t want to travel back to the UK

For the LA consulate, has anyone who's gotten approved for the DTV, what did you use for the "place of issue" and "city of birth". I've searched around and got mixed answers. Some say for the place of issue use USA, United States, or United States Department of State. For city of birth some say use the state as in the passport and others say both city and state. Should you use city [space] state, ex Seattle Washington or just stick with the state (as seen on the passport) even though it asks for the city? Any advice would be appreciated.

Update: Thanks everyone. For other people's reference this worked for me.

City of Birth: I put down the state as my passport only shows the state

Place of Issue: United States
