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

How many days would it take to approve in Cambodia, phnom penh embassy? Applied on Dec 1 and supplied cambodia entry stamp on Dec 2 and it showed process pending approval. Since I only enter with 14 days arrival I have a bit concerns on that.

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.

Can i apply DTV with age 18?

Some website said minimum age of DTV holder is 20

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.

Hello group, just got back from getting my non-o multi entry for Thai marriage in Savanakhet. I Did airasia fly and ride from bangkok to Nakhon panom then Mukdahan arriving 9:30pm. I stayed at hotel MUQ which was very nice and clean right at the bus station. In the morning around 8:30am I headed to the border, left same day my visa expires no problems

50 baht for the bus ticket across the border

1,800 baht for the visa on arrival to Laos plus one photo needed

200 baht taxi to Thai embassy by 10:15.

Paperwork required:

Visa application and 2 photos

Copy of my passport main page and the Laos visa page(signed)

Copy of wife’s housebook and ID card front and back( both signed by her)

Copy of wife’s passport(not signed by accident but I I told the guy right away I forgot and he said it didn’t matter)

Copy of marriage certificate and the original to just show them (not signed)

5000baht in and out in less than 5 minutes.

Next day checked out of Avalon 2 Hotel (perfectly fine for 450baht and walking distance to embassy)

Sat at the new macchiato hotel cafe right across from embassy until 2pm, only about 10 people in line, got my passport and 200baht taxi back across the border by 15:30. 100baht to pay the immigration officer in Laos (?) and 55baht for the bus back over the river. Another 200 for the tuk tuk to Mukdahan for the fly and ride at 17:00 no problems.

Thanks for everyone’s advice on my previous posts to figure this out, I honestly can’t imagine ever bothering with the 1 year extension in country now that I can just do this over and over, it was too easy and it’s nice to get back into travel mode after the last few years.
