Hello everyone, I am gathering some info concerning this process. I just found out in a website that the application for the DTV has to be made from the country you have your employment / country you live in? Is that true? Thanks a lot

Guys I applied for the 90 day report online and I think it was successful. They sent an email with the tm47 filled out. Do I need to bring that in to immigration or have I completed the 90 day report?

Hi. I need to do DTV 90day report beginning of January for me, my husband and two babies. We are staying near central world in Bangkok. I was told by an agent that it takes about 2-4 hours depending on how many people are there. The address I was given is like 55 minutes from where I stay by car. I was also told my husband and I have to go but two babies don’t have to we just need to explain why they aren’t there. Can anyone help confirm if any of this is true or false info. I would prefer to leave my babies at home if it’s possible. Or is there an agent who can go and do it for my family?

Hi folks, on Nov 30th my 2 month Visa Exemption will expire. I’m now in a town where I can do a visa exemption extension.

My question is, because there are still 5 days before my visa exemption expires, if I do the extension now, will the extension begin from the Nov 30th expiry, OR will it start from the moment the visa officer validates the extension?

Big thanks 🙏😊

Hi. I'm retired this year and would like to stay in Thailand. I want to make a combination of 9 months Thailand and 3 months Belgium to see my kids. June, July and August I would be gone. I can prove I have 65.000 Baht every month but I not have the 800K to put in a bank. What kind of visum should I ask?

Thanks, Mario Belgium

Approved in Phnom Penh, Cambodia after ~22 business days.

Applied on Oct 6. Embassy requested more docs on Oct 7. Pending approval since Oct 8 or 9. And then approved on Nov 7.

Took way longer than expected. I called one time to ask for an update, and they said they would look into it. A week later, nothing. Called again today, and they approved it within an hour.

Hello guys, What’s the longest time it usually takes to get DTV approved in Cambodia? Mine has been pending for 20 days and still hasn’t been approved.

Hey yall! I'm moving to Thailand in August on a student visa

From what I understand the visa is an initial 90 and can be extended up to a year, so I'm assuming I'd have to renew every year for the 4 years of University.

My question is, do I have to leave Thailand and go back? And is there a specific amount of time I have to stay out of Thailand between visas?

Because of money, I'd like to travel as little as possible. Is there a way to renew my visa another year, but stay in country?
