DTV - London - application

I was due to fly in on 1st January 2026 and applied on the 2nd December 2025 in London. I shared a copy of the 2 hotels I was due to stay in as part of my application. I've since cancelled both hotels as the free cancellation period was coming to an end. Will this affect my DTV application?

Do you need to show that you’ve had 500K in your account for 3 months before applying for a DTV visa? I’m from the UK. Will my business account suffice?

I have an interview for DTV visa for Muay Thai at Vientiane on 5 January.

What documents do I need to bring?

Thank you.

Hi all, I have renewed my passport, so now I have both an old passport and a new one.

When I re-enter Thailand, if I show both passports to the immigration officer,

do I still need to go to the immigration office again to update or renew my visa?

Or is it okay to enter and exit Thailand just by carrying both passports without doing anything else?

Please share your experiences.

Thanks in advance 🙏

quick question for those who have applied in vietnam

i’m flying into hanoi and will be applying from there. however i will then be flying to da nang and will ultimately be flying back to bangkok from there. will they care that the outbound flight is not from hanoi?

thanks in advance!

Well today was my first day possible to go back to immigration to process my 12 Month Extension of Stay based on my Non-O Retirement Visa. I had everything the Immigration Officer wanted and received my extension without having to get anything additional. Also processed my reentry permit while here since I already have trips lined up.

I know people on here get “snotty” when expats say 12 month visa instead of 12 month extension of stay, but the Immigration Officer told me I now had a 12 Month Visa🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Good day. Some advice please. Applied for DTV visa 8th of December. Today 21 days later my application still says processing pending approval. Anyway to contact them and ask why is it taking so long or do i need to be more patient. Applied in Bali, Indonesia.

90 days report can be done from 76-97th day of your stay. What if I leave on 91-96th day of my stay? Do I still have to report?

I have DTVisa and I didn't do 90days report Iast time I was in Thailand. I'm planning to come back soon and I know I have to pay the 2000thb fine next time when I'm in immigration. But may I have some problems on the border? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Please, let me know about your experience. Thank you.

My DTV has been granted. It took 5 weeks in London embassy.

Question. I always struggle with Sims in Thailand, sudden loss of internet, top ups. Can anyone suggest a continuous and smooth sim please .
