IO has been asking for police clearance certificate to extend Non-imm O (marriage) in Bangkok. I extend stay permit based on married to Thai last 3 years. This is first time experiencing such requirement. Is this same to other provinces? Or new rule?

Hello everyone,

Can any one explain what does it mean, "cancel visa application" in decision section.

I've been approved for a DTV, but I'm running out of pages in my passport. Since immigration officers love to completely waste pages by stamping 3 pages ahead, I only have maybe 10 more pages. Which I'm not sure will last 5 years. If I have to get a new passport, will my DTV still apply?

Hi Everyone,

I applied for SoftPower in Jakarta on 8th of May at 4 pm. I didnt calculate that they have a holiday on Monday and Tuesday. In my application and invitation and my flight says I am flying to Thailand on 15th - which is Thursday after 4 pm.

Do you think there is a chance my visa is going to be accepted and issue by that time?

Thank you!

Hi folks!

I was in pending approval for two days but now when I logged in it says pending document check, but I haven’t gotten a request for further documents.

Has anyone experienced this before? My flight was supposed to be tomorrow so I think I may need to change it

Tried to search to see if others have experienced the same but had a hard time finding posts

Thanks so much for your insights in advanced!

How do I access the application for retirement visa? (Wanting to apply here in Taiwan)

I keep getting the 'fixing' page (I don't see a 'contact form') when I access through my laptop.

Or I can't scroll to see the right side when I go to website on my phone.

I've been trying for weeks.

Have called embassy in Taipei and messaged them but no luck so far.

I'm not in Taipei city right now to go in person.

I applied to non-o 3 months visa online 20 days ago. There is no reply yet. When I check my application status it shows pending document check. I suppose there were some Songkran holidays this month, but is it normal that this procedure takes such a long time?

They rejected my DTV and gave me only half a year instead of five years - out of compassion. How often do I need to renew my visa at immigration - every 30, 60, or 90 days?

I'm applying at the KL embassy, i picked medical which may have been wrong, but i've been undergoing PRP/stem cell treatments on my knees and shoulders with ample proof for the last 6 months.

Anyways, I believe I can get those figured out, however, other request documents such as... Other request documents ( Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months, such as a condominium rental agreement, lease agreement etc. )

baffles me. I currently do not have a lease agreement signed, as it would be crazy to sign a long term lease without knowing that i've been approved for the visa. How do i deal with this?

I have had a yearly multiple entry Non-B business visa for many years now from the Hong Kong Thai consulate (where I am a permanent resident). Normally, I don't apply for a new one until the previous one has expired, but this year, the timing is off because I will be back in Hong Kong only until a week before my current Non-B expires, then will come back to Thailand (where I will be granted a 90 day stay) but then I am traveling from Thailand to Europe shortly after, then would like to return to Thailand without going through Hong Kong. This means I can't apply for a new yearly multiple entry Non-B visa (e-visa) from the HK consulate for my return to Thailand. Does anyone know if I need to actually wait until my current visa expires before I am allowed to apply for a new one? I tried contacting the consulate but there's no reply.

I can't get an extension of stay w/re-entry permit on a Non-B instead, because the frequency that I travel back and forth doesn't allow me to remain in Thailand long enough to process it.
