I am getting conflicting information on the internet so I would like to hear from those who know. I will be entering Thailand on Saturday with an OA visa and will not be able to reach the island where I will be living until Tuesday. I understand that within 24 hours I must report to the immigration office in the area where I live to file the TM 30 form. Other information specifies that I must file the TM 47 form up to 7 days before the 90 days expire. How exactly should I proceed? Thanks!
Hi I’m flying to Taiwan to apply for the DTV visa, has anyone applied from Taiwan before and know the processing time or other random requirements or details worth knowing thanks
I’m looking for advice if anyone who has done a DTV recently.
Seems to many people offering advice and services. Has anyone got any personal experience with a company that can make the process easy for me as I only have till the 24 December until I need to get my 30 day extension.
And experiences you can share would be very much appreciated 🙏
Hi Everyone I fly to Thailand tomorrow from the UK on a 60 day tourist visa. I have also filled in my Digital Arrivals Card. I arrive on the 28th of November. I have visited Thailand for 30 days already 3 times this year as a tourist. I have a holiday Condo. I have been coming to Thailand since 1996 and usually one visit every few years but since i bought my holiday home 18 months ago I have been coming every 4 months for 30 days. I have never had a visa extension or a border run. I have funds in baht with me and a return ticket. I also have records of my employment. Anyone see any problems with the new rules? I understand they may want to question me. My wife and Daughters are Thai but live in the UK but that won't make any difference. I will also update you on the 28th and let you know what the outcome is to try and help others which is why this forum is here. Many thanks In advance David
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this group. It seems a lot of people are applying for the DTV Visa while being in Laos or Vietnam. Is that better then just applying online from your home country and waiting to be approved then flying directly to Thailand?
Also I own my own registered company and provide online freelance/subcontractor services but don't have any significant branding or website to show for it will that be an issue?
My business account currently doesn't have the 500k sitting there but my personal savings does should be fine right.
