Does anyone know the valid email address of the Thai Consulate in Vientiane, Laos? I have tried two of them, one had no response, another one’s address couldn’t be found.
Hi everyone, for those applying for the DTV visa from Hanoi,Vietnam — has anyone received their approval in the past few days?
I submitted my application on March 19th, was asked to provide additional documents on March 20th, and my status changed to “Pending Approval” on March 21st. But there’s been no update since then.
From what I’ve seen before, most people got their visa approved within about 5 working days, so i just want to ask the situation…thanks
I'm currently in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption undergoing long term medical treatment. Trying to decide if a DTV might be the best option for me over the next year or two. I kind of have a handle on what's required after reading here. I'm pretty sure I can qualify for the medical soft power since I have to see two specialists and purchase an injectable medication monthly. I also have labs scheduled in early March. Acccording to the doctors I have to take this medicine for the rest of my life.
I realize I have to leave the country and apply at an outside embassy. My question is which of the neighbor country embassies would be my best chance for the least hassles?
Hello everyone, im very close to sending in my application and I wanted to double check the part on page 2 with:
”is your permanent address your current address -yes/no”.
I’m a Swe nationality but live permanently in Portugal, I’ve included both addresses but not sure which one should be on top and I don’t want mess up my application on something that small.
Has anyone here done it with a nationality but different country permanent address ? What did you put there?
I’m applying for a multi non imm O in UK. I don’t recall the medical certificate necessary before. I have had this visa before. Is it necessary and how did you fulfill the requirements in UK?

Thank you all so much for your help and support along the way! 🙏
Have you heard anything about the fact that if you are an employee, the company you work for remotely from Thailand should pay social security contributions to Thailand?
