In Cambodia, is today a working day or a holiday? My application was submitted on April 24th, and the status changed to 'pending approval' on April 25th. I'm still waiting for the approval. Is anyone else in the same situation?

Information for educational visa in thailand.

There are two types one is for university study and the one I am giving information on is "Soft Power Education" this includes thai boxing language and such

There is two things to this. The soft power education visa is permission from the Educational Ministry to learn for one year.

What you get from immigration is a 3 month stamp that you have to extend with fee 1900 baht ( 50 USD ) also ontop of this you still have to check in every 90 days which can be done on an app on your phone or in-person at immigration office.

If you miss extension or have to leave for any reason and you mis the time frame to extend you have to start back over and the educational visa is 20,000 baht .. ( 500 )

I just did this today and was given full explanation by the school doing my visa.

Hope this helps someone else 🙏 and I was explained that bank accounts are not given for these soft power education or hard to get just FYI

I live in Bangkok and on Visa free entry. I want to start retirement visa process. I plan to use an agent.

Is there any downside to using an agent in Jometien?

Tickets to Thailand is 3 times of the tickets to Spain from America, 17 hours vs 10 hours, why? Looks like only Turkish airlines fly to Thailand

Hopefully this can be a sensible discussion, Is it just me or is the DTV being abused to a ridiculous extent? admittedly the Thai government left it full of loopholes and open to abuse but for me it really isn't working

I initially submitted my application on March 6.

On March 8, I received a request for additional documents and sent them immediately.

Around March 11, my status changed to "Pending Approval," but there has been no update since then.

Once the status changes to "Pending Approval," does that mean there is no chance of rejection or cancellation?

People who applied around the same time have already received approval, but I haven’t yet, so I’m feeling a bit anxious.
