I fly in and arrive back into Phuket Thailand to start my Non O Marriage visa on Thursday 25th September 2025.
I worked out December 23rd is 90 days after 25/09/25 if you include the arrival day.
My mother has been unwell in Sydney Australia and I want to visit her around late October 2025 getting a re-entry permit to do so.
I just wanted to make sure incase the dates change to visit my mother when do I have to do this visit before to be back in Thailand in time to apply for my Visa Extension in phuket?
Is it 30 days before December 23rd?
Or in some cases I read you can apply 45 days before depending where you are.
Arrived in bkk yesterday, was fully prepared with all supporting docs, incase i was asked any questions as ive been in and out alot in the last 4 years it was starting to become an issue, just handed passport and e visa to the io, wasnt asked any questions at all, not even for the tdac and got 6 month dtv stamp in, nice and smooth
Just wondering if anyone else has applied for the DTV visa from Cambodia recently? I submitted my application on June 2nd, and it’s now been 18 business days – still showing as “Pending Approval.”
Is this delay normal, or should I be concerned? Would really appreciate hearing about your timelines or any recent experiences. Thanks in advance!
Update: got approved today 30/6 after 28 days (19 business days) 🥳
Happy to share that I received my LTR-P visa by email yesterday. It was a fairly simple process which did not need any Visa agency help. I am grateful to many in this group for providing guidance and helpful tips. Here is the timeline for my application:
April 23, 2025- Online application submitted to BOI with income and asset documents
April 28, 2025- Additional income documents requested by BOI. Had to submit the 2024 Form 1099 to support the income reported in 2024 tax return. Since I do not have any pension income, I was also asked to provide my investment portfolio which generated the passive income
April 29, 2025- Additional asset documents requested by BOI to verify liquid assets of $100K. The funds in Fidelity money market account was not acceptable
May 15, 2025- I submitted AXA insurance policy to avoid prolonged correspondences to prove that funds in Fidelity money market funds were fully liquid
May 29, 2025- Received email confirming my qualification endorsement
June 4, 2025- Received the qualification endorsement letter which was to be included with e-visa application
June 7, 2025- Applied online for e-Visa at Thai Embassy in Washington DC
June 11, 2025- Visa approval email received with e-Visa attached
Hi All. I have emailed the embassy in UK regarding a query I have. I work offshore in oil and gas on a rotational basis remotely and wondered if that would be a suitable occupation to be accepted for DTV in the remote category. Does anyone have any experience in this? My email to London Thai Embassy is as follows:
Hello,
I hope you're doing well. I work offshore remotely, and I'm writing to inquire if this is a suitable occupation to successfully get accepted for a Destination Thailand visa in the remote work category. Can you please provide more details on this and let me know if it's an option?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.
