Hi, for the yearly extension of non imm o visa based on marriage it is possible instead of the thai bank deposit to give a certified letter from the embassy that shows my salary? Thanks.

Hello,

I think I have seen the question here but unfortunately can’t find the thread.

I’m in Thailand right now since 2 months on a tourist visa, I’ll go to Taipei in few days to apply online for the DTV.

Could there be any doubt not to get approved as they can see I got salary but I was the last two months in the country, which mean I was working illegal in Thailand.

Many thanks

Has anyone in Australia applied for a workaction DTV recently and supplied their girlfriend's address as where they will be staying? Any problems encountered with this or additional questions asked (e.g. need copy of house book, ID card etc)?

I am going to get her to right a short letter of invite, but not sure if it needs to be handwritten and hand signed (as opposed to signed digitally which does not prove it came from her) , or whether it is better to be in Thai or English?

TIA.

Does anyone know if you can keep extending every 6 months for the 5 years or you can only do 6 months in a calendar year one time?? Would love some clarity on this issue ....

I’m 67 years from Ireland.

In previous years I have been able to obtain a Non O immigration eVisa with 1 year validity, multiple entries and 90 days per trip. This was based on a support letter from my long standing Thai girlfriend (we are not married) of over 15 years. Multiple entry to allow me visit my son in Australia whilst in Asia Pacific and re-enter Thailand a 2nd time.

This time when I applied for the eVisa they issued a single entry Non-O with only a 3 month validity. The visa doesn’t state the number of days per entry. I’m guessing it’s only 60 days or perhaps 30 days.

Is the former option no longer available? Can one “appeal” or request a change to an eVisa? Thanks.

Keeping US Number -

Hey folks, coming over for good in October - I need a US number for ONE reason only - 2 factor authorization!! Literally every day, for banking, Paypal, government, practically anything I log onto here, they send a text to my US number so I can log in. Of course I will have a VPN when I arrive, but how do I keep a US number [JUST to receive texts, won't be making or receiving calls with it!!]. I will keep my phone from here, and buy one there with a Thai number - how can I go about making/keeping this one as my "US phone''? Thank you

I have been using the 800 000B deposit method for the last five years of visa renewal. I would now like to withdraw those funds after my recent renewal two weeks ago. I have for the last two years been running the monthly income method concurrently with this in mind. Am I safe to now withdraw those funds do you think and use the income method at next renewal. Many thanks in advance
