Hi All, do you any experience or suggestions about the impact of application of work visa ( one year) in another country while I am holding a DRV visa in Thailand? I am afraid it will impact on validity of my DTV visa in Thailand. Thanks, guys!

Are those who get the DTV as a dependent allowed to work remotely just like the person who got a DTV for a workation and does the person who already got their DTV have to prove they can financially support the dependent?

Applied online from Australia well over a 12 days ago.

Keep getting questions about providing my portfolio. I finally got frustrated and called the Thai embassy for answers. They stated that my business " didnt look legitimate", even thought its been operating for 4 years. They want a detailed breakdown of work I do as well as invoices to clients.

My website is fine... I dont understand what is going on here.

Anyone else had this sort of issue?

Hi all, I would like to stay in Thailand for seven months. Normally I would just do 2 visa runs (🇧🇷 gets 90 days) but last year when arriving at BKK they told me next time I must get a proper visa rather than just use exemptions.

So I will get a Non-Imm-O/retirement. I’m 50+ and have 800 kilobaht in a Thai bank already. I have 2 questions:

1) My understanding is that I can’t just leave during my extension period, but must go to Immigration to have it canceled. What is the procedure and requirements for that?

2) Since I'm leaving early, do I need to show Immigration that I have correctly kept the 800k (3 months) / 400k (afterwards) in my account for the required post-extension period?

I do plan to come back to Thailand long term in the future so I don’t want any black marks. Thanks for any input!

I now hold 2 visas and a work permit. The visa I have been using is a business visa, the "owns 49% of the company" kind. The work permit is associated with that visa.

I now have a DTV and I intend to enter Thailand using the DTV.

I need to cancel the business visa and work permit. Is that something I can do myself? What is the procedure for that?

I have a Work extension, and my non-Thai wife and son piggyback on this. It expires on 30 November 2024. I am just preparing the paperwork for our annual Immigration visit, and noticed that my 9-year-old son's UK passport expires on 27 October 2025. I don't have time to renew his passport before we go to Immigration.

My understanding is that he will only be given an Extension until 27 October 2025 (his passport expiry date). I will get his new passport in January and get the Extension date transferred.

My question is what will happen next year when we need to extend again in November? Will Immigration overlook a 34-day overstay for my son (28/10/2025-30/11/2025) as children can't be fined, and give him an Extension that matches ours?

Or, when we go to Immigration next month, should we all apply for Extensions up to 27 October 2025 instead of 30 November, to keep everything in sync?

DTV Visa Success - Germany, Munich:

The process took about 9 days, including weekends and a public holiday. I applied for a new passport / express 1 day before so i uploaded a "pre-passport" document, but it was rejected twice. After explaining to the embassy, I later uploaded my actual passport, and the visa was issued the next day.

Question: My passport has 10 digits (bottom left) but 9 digits (top right). The german passport office said this is normal. Could this cause issues at border control?

Good luck to everyone!
