Hey guys,

I just applied for the DTV from Phnom Penh. Does anyone have experience with the embassy and know how long the process usually takes?

Thanks a lot!

I have just received my Non-Immigrant 0 visa. I filled out the application form, and told the embassy my date of travel 01/06/2025 that then gives me 3 months, they have issued the E-VISA from 18/04/2025 until 16/07/2025, can I get it changed or should I go to immigration and explain when I arrive, and Brandon what are the complications.

Please clarify this for me - The number here, 1005/67 is my visa number? I suppose it seems obvious, but there's numerous other Thai stamps in my passport with numbers (primarily on re-entry stamps).

I'm filling out the digital arrival card online and trying to avoid any mistakes.

Thanks.

Hello guys! Can I change from Non-B to Non-O without leaving Thailand?

I'm currently on a Non-B visa but would like to resign from my job and switch to a Non-O (marriage) visa since I'm getting married to a Thai national. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this within Thailand, or would I need to leave and apply from abroad?

Also, if anyone has gone through this process recently, I'd appreciate any advice on the required documents and timeline. Thanks in advance!
