Hey,

i will fly to Bali in November and want to apply for the DTV there. Right now i think they just want to see 3 Month of Bank statements there right? I will transfer in August, September and October around 120k THB to my Thai Bank account to have the 500k when i want to apply ( earlier it s not possible ) . Just wondering if someone has experience when i top my account in the last 3-5 month before applying if they say it s ok and could they also ask me where that money is coming from where i might have to show them some proof aswell?

Thanks for helping and awesome group here !

So I was having a couple of issues in regards to identity and the requested document order time. They requested a birth certificate and it was going to take up to 4 weeks for me to get one.

I sent in a word file explaining my situation under the requested birth certificate and asked if they can extend my application process an extra few weeks and instead they have told me to come in for an interview.

If I go for the interview and I don’t have this, is it going to be an issue? Surely they wouldn’t request an interview without some other option of proof of identity?

UPS has notified me i need to show at 120 Years Building and register as an import agent or get an import license just to get a 2 Ib package of 40 personal single use eye drops, 2 boxes of just for men, and 2 UV BLOCKER sets of armsleeves my nephew sent me from my apartment in LA. Please, somebody who’s been though this, send the quickest most stress free method of navigating this. BESIDES Thai Customs, UPS is also trying to get paid extra in this process. I had no idea having a small box of personal provisions was gonna come to this. And if i choose to just not bother with this and walk away from less than $70 us worth of stuff, UPS’ charge is nearly $300 to “destroy” the package. You talk about a Catch-22!!! What does an Import License even cost, never mind there’s MORE steps to follow just to get this small quantity of my own personal hygiene products in hand.

Anybody knows if it’s possible to enter on a normal 30 or 60 day visa on arrival instead of using the DTV? Becaue my passport expires in just a bit less than six months.

Just a reminder—if you frequently visit Thailand and stay for several months, like some of my wealthy friends, you might want to secure a tourist visa or DTV as soon as possible. That said, even that isn’t always a guarantee, so it’s wise to keep extra cash on hand for immigration officials. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a holding cell or on a flight back to wherever you came from. A French guy I came on my flight with was denied entry, put in the dirty detention room and had to pay $1500 for return flight @ Phuket. 

Hi,

I have a funny feeling a made a big fopar when submitting my application today. I changed hotel here in laos and just realised that I only put the name of the hotel and location Vientiane ,laos without the exact address ( dumb in know) and no way of editing now. I have uploaded my financals 6 month with more than is required and supported documents and everything is in order. I'm just debating whether or not to let the 14 days expire before I have to reaply. I have uploaded my visa and stamp for proof but I don't want to waste the10000 baht and have to start again regardless.

Any thoughts really appreciated

Regards

Thank

P.s soft power

Can anyone recommend a legal firm or agent that can answer some immigration questions that are a bit convoluted ? I need answers that are facts and not opinion. Prefer Krabi, Bangkok or Los Angeles. Thanks much. "Siam Legal" emailed me the "very helpful" "Contact a Thai Immigration office".

Greetings and thanks for allowing me in your group. Maybe somebody can help with an issue I’m having. I fill out my DTV application online and everything is fine. That is until I go to pay the fee🤷🏻‍♂️

Every time I try to pay the application fee, it gives some kind of error message saying not accepted or canceled? I have used three different web browsers and five different credit cards and nothing works..

I have called my credit card companies and they say there are no problems with my cards such as fraud, and calling the Thai embassy here in America they say their website is working fine

I have checked my information over and over again and everything is correct. Last year with the regular E visa I had no problems at all. Can anybody clarify what might be the issue outside of everything I already verified above that is not the issue?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Has anyone here ever herd of a "visa application pending approval" for past time? ie You just submitted a visa for the time of december 2023 - december 2024
