The embassy is asking me for documents about my client for the DTV workcation (I freelance for them). As I don’t think I’ll get the documents, I’m wondering if I can switch the application to soft power as I’m planing to study thai anyway.

Have anyone ever been in that situation (switching the scope of a DTV application) ?

Has anyone been asked for Request of Additional documents during the pending approval stage? I feel like I messed up by missing to attach something. Called embassy here they said it’s out of their hands as it’s send forward for more checking before approval so I’m wondering can they request extra docs or will they likely just reject if there is something missing this late in?

Doc requested was business registration which I sent the companies house registration number rather than the actual document even though I have the document and only thought of this after. Rookie mistake I know

Hi all,

This group is very helpful!

Maybe some of you can help my last doubts. I have all required documents.

Been working here under a non visa b and work permit since May 2023. Now since almost 2 months on tourist visa after I resigned.

I work remote for a company in the US and want to fly to HCM upcoming week to try to get the DTV.

1 Would it be an issue showing the 500.000 on my Thai bank? Or should I transfer to a foreigner account? Or a platform like wise? Both would be with a low to none activity history compared to My Thai bank which is a lot healthier.

2 do you see any issues with the fact I’m already in thailand for 1.5 year with a work permit

Thank you in advance

Apologies in advance if redundant, but when you need to show the 500k THB for the DTV e-visa, does that need to be in a Thai bank account or, are you showing the equivalent amount in a US bank account for example? Thank you.

You can submit an application online (on the Thai visa website thingy) and have it approved or declined. You can also submit one at an embassy (where the interpretations of the rules and procedures vary) and have it approved or declined. So there are two separate options. Right or wrong?

Hello. Just looking for the latest information for extending my 3 month spouse visa for 2 months at Udon Thani immigration. I looked on their website but couldn’t find what I needed to take to immigration.

Thanks for any help

Hello, i have 2 METV Tourist Visa questions.

1.When you apply today for a METV Visa to start on 1 May 2024 and get approval in April 2024, when does the 6 months validity starts ? On 1 May or on your first entry after 1 May?

2. You get 60 days on arrival and this one you can extend for 30 days. After that you can go a week on a trip in Asia and fly back to bkk to get another 60 days. Roughly 157 days..

Say you leave again for a couple of days to Kuala Lumpur and fly back to bkk 14 days before your METV expired, you are able to get again 60 days?

This will give you about 220 days that you probably can extend again for 30 days if i'm right.

Is that correct or is this too much simplified and i understand this Visa wrong?

I'm 39 with my own business in Belgium and little bit tired of the 30 days visa exemption i get and want a visa i can get in my home country (Belgium) without having to handle much with immigration in Thailand while i stay there. Will be staying in Thailand 6 months per Year and 6 months in Belgium. I have a condo in Thailand.

Is this legally possible?

Hi. Planning to have a retirement visa here shortly. Q: U.K. passport renewal requirements if applying from here? I’m without a U.K. address and hence utility bills etc etc. does anybody know the documentation requirements to get a renewal? Thanks.
