I just had my application rejected because of my name. I put my birth name because the name box on my passport is the same, and they told me I had to put my birth name + EP. Married name.
Rejected for that, not even a correction request, I'm devastated! And I have the three applications for my husband and children that risk being rejected, but my flight is next Monday.
I called the embassy, no response, I wrote, no response.
I don't know what to do except go tomorrow morning.
I run an online business and my account balance meets the DTV requirement - however, I can't leave Thailand for longer than 4 or 5 days.
Quick question: Is it possible to enter a country around Thailand to apply for DTV visa, and leave after a few days - and then once the DTV visa processing is done, come back to that country and go back into Thailand on DTV visa? So 2 quick visits in total.
Hello, I am a bit nervous because I will re enter Thailand on the DTV for the 2nd time. I don't have the original amount in my bank account. Would I be able to show my mums bank details and a letter from her that guarantees financial support if necessary? I have the money but it's mostly invested. I dont want to move all my funds for the purpose of re entry into Thailand. Or do you think it's enough to show the same documents I applief for with 8 months ago?
I came back to my condo in Bangkok in June (I’ve been renting it for the year), but I just realized I forgot to have the owners file a TM30 for my return. They’ve submitted my previous TM30s, but I think it’s well past the window for them to file it now.
We’re moving out on September 1st, and I was wondering if staying at a hotel for a night to get a fresh TM30 for my next 90-day report would work or if that’s not an option.
I’ve already done two 90-day reports at this address, the first in person and the second online. Since I left and re-entered Thailand, do I need to go in person again for the next one, or can I still do it online?
Sorry, once again. I just apply for a METV in the Vienna Embassy.
On different intertnetsides you can read that you can apply 3 month in advance before entering Thailand.
In this forum it was said, you have to apply very shortly before departure, because the 6 month start with getting the approval, so in this case you will have much less then the six months for staying in the country.....
I’m planning to come to Thailand in January. Should I come on a tourist visa I get here or should I come without a visa and then try to extend it to 90 days? My plan is to turn my visa into a long-term marriage visa without having to leave the country in doing sois this possible?
Hi. I will be applying for DTV next week, how do I prove that I am in the UK ? I returned from Thailand in April and passport control did not stamp my passport. I think I have everything else covered 🙏 thank you in advance for your support. And anything else that can trip me up ?
