I applied for a 90 day non O visa based on marriage about 20 or so days ago, then they asked me for more information about two days later witch I sent them on the Evisa. I haved booked and paid for my plane tickets for jest over two weeks time but haven't heard back from them. Anyone any idea? What I should do.

I hired an agent to apply for a retirement visa. Turns out she got me confused with someone else with the same first name and never filed anything. Now my visa on arrival (which has been extended to the 90 day max) is due to expire five days before my flight home. Is there a way to get an extra five days?

Hey loves I need your advice.

I’m thinking of moving from my work permit to a DTV Visa. I’m gonna be spending time in Europe, but it’s not my residence. Can I still apply for a visa in a country that is not my residence? because I just called the Thai embassy in Holland and they seem to need a residence card to give the visa, but I did hear that it’s not necessary.

Anyone have experience with this ?

I’ll be in Netherlands, Italy, London, Germany

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?
