Hey everyone, just wondering if I have to be in the same city as the embassy when applying for the DTV. For example can I be in DaNang while applying through the HCMC Thai embassy/consulate?

Has anyone recently entered the country with a DTV visa after a history of exempt visas with the new regulations?

Any recorded problems entering with DTV by plane these days?

Hi, I applied for my 90-day report online, but it was rejected one day before the due date. I then went to immigration, and they told me to transfer my visa from my old passport to my new one first (since I had recently renewed my passport). It took me two days to complete all the required documents because I also needed a letter from my embassy. Yesterday, I finally went to transfer my visa, and I asked the 90-day counter to give me a token — even if it was the last one — so I could complete my 90-day report after the visa transfer. However, they told me to finish the transfer process first. I completed it around 5:30 p.m. Now my question is: will I be fined since it’s already been five days past the 90-day reporting deadline?

Did anyone change a DTV to a Non-B/Work Permit Within Thailand and what was the cost and how complicated the process?! Thanks

Soft Power Application (Hanoi):

I'm planning on applying with Muay Thai and would like to give my application the best chance of getting approved.

I have the seasoned 500k in an unused personal account, and while I know income isn't technically a requirement for soft power, I'd like to provide something since I hear thing are getting more strict.

For the past 2-3 years I've been receiving a monthly allowance (3k usd) from my parents (bless them) and can show regular monthly deposits into an active account (different from the 500k account).

My questions are...

Would providing bank statements of the account my parents send the 3k from each month be helpful?

Would it also be good to include a letter from my parents stating where the 3k each month comes (pension and investments), so the embassy can have confidence of me not working in the country?

Or is all that overkill and it's better to just provide my bank statements and explain my situation in the cover letter?

Appreciations!

Hi everyone, I've been renewing my marriage-based extension annually for a few years now. At my appointment yesterday, for the first time ever, the Immigration Officer asked me to get a fingerprint and a clearance report. They gave me a letter to submit and get back once it's ready.

Has anyone else experienced this recently? Is this a new standard procedure, or could it be a random check?

Any insight would be appreciated!
