Hi friends! So stoked to have the DTV visa! Question for the group: I arrived the other day and this is what my stamp looks like. I understand the rule about leaving every 180 days, I was just surprised this was the format for the stamp. I asked the officer if it was good for five years, and he said yes, and he had given me the first 180 days. Yet, I’ve seen other people with a full page sticker visa that says 5 years. Am I cool? Do others have this same stamp? Or should I be concerned? Thanks for your thoughts!

I’m currently in Canada and need to renew my Thai drivers license to get credit for my driving history when applying for a new Canadian driver’s license. Anyone know of a way to do that without being in Thailand?

Has the government ever canceled a visa option?

Is there a likely hood this could happen with the DTV?

Dear all,

1) Would anyone who have a pink ID card can reply if both your thai name and English name can be shown together in the PINK ID card.

2) Anyone who can successful add both English and Thai names in the bank book?

3) Is there anyone who can successfully sold his/her condo? If yes, you receive money by cheque which wrote in your English name or Thai name. As a heard a case that the one who sold her condo, then buyer issued cheque in her Thai name same as title deed shown. However, she was unable to bank-in/credit this cheque as her bank account only shows English name.

Thank you.

I do my 90 day reporting online without any problem.

This time I was a little late in that the 90 days expired on September 29th. I sent my request out yesterday the 29th and was rejected today since the office opened on Monday morning.

Was I rejected because of lateness?

There was no reason given in post.

I am really worried. I have never been rejected before.

The person posting that this is an image from the animal cargo bay of a commercial airline, is trying to mislead people. As you can see from the photo this is not from one of the large passenger airlines. You can see the area is small and see the curve of the walls. Please don't be fooled by misinformation.

Hi Guys

Is it possible to be turned away with METV?

I am just paranoid because I had a long history in the country on several covid extensions.

I left last September and this is the first time I am back.

I appreciate your help

Hello everyone,

Last year, I entrusted a company called Unionspace to establish a company for me and to issue a work visa for myself. However, after more than half a year, although the initial three-month non-B visa was successfully processed, the work permit has still not been obtained. The agent mentioned that labor department officials have been withholding approval for my work permit, so I am unable to continue processing the work visa. The other party has indicated that they will reapply as soon as possible, but they have yet to provide the new documents. When I requested a refund, they made various excuses and refused. Now I realize that I may have been deceived.

Now, I'd like to consult everyone regarding the following:

1. Is it common for labor department officials to delay approval of work permits after receiving the application?

1. For my case, are there any lawyers you can recommend to help handle the next steps in resolving the dispute? Thank you.

Worried about Visa application. I had issues getting all my documents together for my OX visa application. I am not sure I have the right medical records uploaded. (I did upload my full medical records sent by my doctor). (Since it took so long to get all my records my application deleted and I had to start all over today the 10th) I leave the 15th and arriveon the 17th.. The visa application is 400 non refundable. I have spent way too much to cancel my travel plans.

Should I go ahead and travel on a visitors visa and sort it out when I land, or risk the 400 non refundable visa application now.
