ADVICE PLEASE: For a 90 day Non-O Visa-holder who’s now in Thailand and on the 90 day clock, there’s so many disparate puzzle pieces to accrue bf applying for “1 Year Extension of Visa.” For example: There’s setting up a Bank account & Transferring 800k Tbt, Getting local Phone service, finding a permanent address with lease and TM30…. PLEASE SHARE from your experience what is the most logical order to tackle the tasks above, AND don’t hesitate to list the many I haven’t even thought of in this moment. Thank god this FB Group exists. It is a gift to newcomers!

Hi

Anyone got an updated list of documents needed for address registration. Phuket.

Thanks

Please how much for a visa renewal when it is expired and also do I need an agent for it?

Has anyone got any tips for getting through to the London Embassy?

There are two extention numbers, however it would seem that they keep you with hold music for 10 minutes then cut uou off???

Thank you.

Do you have to make an appointment to get a new driving licence on samui, or just turn up?

Any recommendations for a 3 months Muay Thai gym that can be used for DTV visa and is not overcharging you?

As eventually all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world will be using the Thai e-Visa for accepting visa applications and issuing Thai e-Visa's, some of the Frequently Asked Questions are succinctly answered by the Royal Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia who started with Thai e-Visa today (26 November 2024):

1.) you have to physically be in the country of where the Thai Embassy/Consulate is located to apply for a Thai e-Visa;

2.) you will not be making any appointments to visit any Thai Embassy/Consulate who issue Thai e-Visa;

3.) it's just best to physically print out the PDF of your Thai e-Visa and have it with your passport (yes, many have reported that they just showed the image of the Thai e-Visa PDF on their mobile cell phone, or the Thai e-Visa should be in Thai immigration's database system, etc. etc.): just print out the Thai e-Visa PDF!

4.) if there is an error, typo, incorrect spelling, etc., then the Thai e-Visa application can be rejected and no correction will most likely be done to rectify and No Refund!

5.) Thai e-Visa processing times are longer than previously in-person visa applications issuing Thai visa stickers....that may shorten in the future, but then again, it may not....

Hi from snowy Scotland , is it better to arrange health insurance before travelling or on arrival of 90 day trip , not that I will need it .....

Hi what is the exchange rate for uk pound at the moment bank and booths please 👍

Hello everyone, I just got my DTV e-visa through Phnom Penh embassy.

Here’s how I did it & my experience.

I applied on 21st 11am, and got my visa on 29th 5:30pm.

I went through soft power, medical route.

🤞🏼6 months bank statements from my Bangkok account.

🤞🏼confirmation letters from two doctors I am visiting and 2 appointment letters from both of them for 4th November 2024. (Both same date)

🤞🏼one night Phnom Penh hotel proof of stay, and 2 nights from sihanoville.

If you guys are planning to apply from Cambodia, I suggest doing it while you get your holidays. Nothing much to do here in Phnom Penh, so I went to sihanoville for 3 days, Koh rong saloem for 2 days, then back to Phnom Penh.

I find Phnom Penh more expensive than HCMC, even though I’ve heard lots of other people say the other way round. But food is great here. Lots of Chinese food options, Indian and Indonesian.

If you have any questions, please ask away 😄
