Once upon a time, I was allowed a Retirement Visa based on being a dependent of an adult Thai daughter. I wonder if this option still exists.

I have non-IB visa with work permit now. I want to resign from my job, and back with DTV. Is it possible? How to make sure they dont reject it? I have a car here and other important things that I can't just leave behind me.

Got approved Jakrata on sunday. I got workstation one but no where on visa it's mentioned workstation, any difference between soft power and workstation? Since workstation would be stronger in eyes of immigration instead of dodgy 6 month cooking ones.

Hi all. In the E-VISA website, in the "travel document" section, page 2, what did you put in "Place of Issue"? On my passport, under "authority", I have: "préfecture des Landes MONT DE MARSAN", should I put all of that or just FRANCE? I am applying for my visa at the Thai embassy in Paris. Thank you very much for any help.🙂

The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

Has anyone been asked for Request of Additional documents during the pending approval stage? I feel like I messed up by missing to attach something. Called embassy here they said it’s out of their hands as it’s send forward for more checking before approval so I’m wondering can they request extra docs or will they likely just reject if there is something missing this late in?

Doc requested was business registration which I sent the companies house registration number rather than the actual document even though I have the document and only thought of this after. Rookie mistake I know

How many days would it take to approve in Cambodia, phnom penh embassy? Applied on Dec 1 and supplied cambodia entry stamp on Dec 2 and it showed process pending approval. Since I only enter with 14 days arrival I have a bit concerns on that.
