Has anyone applied from Australia?

Looking for what that process & wait time would look like? TIA

Anyone else applied from Canberra embassy for their DVT? I’ve had pending approval sine Feb 4th and silence since. My flight was meant to be today and had no luck calling and emailing. So have changed my flight today which is frustrating! It seems others are getting approved closest to their travel dates but sadly not mine. Any advice what I should do?

Canberra Embassy,

Any successful applications with this embassy? Would love to know your experience.

I just had my DTV approved today from Canberra after waiting a month, just wanted to share for anyone applying in the future that they seem to approve them based on the date you say you intend to go to Thailand. I can see from this group that people had applied at the Canberra embassy after me and been approved before me, I had put Dec 1 as my intended date just to allow time for the visa to be approved, whereas I should have said earlier. Hopefully this helps someone that's wanting a quicker approval

Canberra Non-O retirement process time?

Hello all! Looking for advice on how long it takes to process a Non-O retirement visa from the Canberra embassy. Applied on 28 October and the portal has showed “Pending Approval” since 4 November. Our travel date is 3 weeks today and we are trying not to panic 😝

Have sent polite email and voicemail but no response.

Any insights would be appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m applying for a Thai Non-Immigrant O (Spouse) Visa for the first time through the Embassy in Canberra, and I’d really appreciate some advice from anyone who has gone through it recently.

From what I’ve read, the main requirements are:

• Marriage certificate + spouse’s Thai ID & house registration

• Invitation letter from spouse

• Bank statement showing at least 20,000 THB (individual) or 40,000 THB (family)

• Proof of residence in Australia

• Proof of accommodation in Thailand

• Flight itinerary

My question is: did the Embassy ask you for anything extra beyond this list (like proof of income, wedding photos, extra financials, etc.)? And was an invitation letter in English enough, or did you also provide one in Thai?

Any tips or clarifications would be a huge help since this is my first time applying 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hey folks, I applied for soft power Muay Thai at Canberra embassy in Australia on the 14th of May, I had to add an additional doc on the 20th, I’ve heard Canberra can be fast and slow approving visas. Has anyone else on here gone through Canberra and what were your results.

Thanks heaps 🙏

What’s everyone’s experience been like with the Canberra embassy? Applied a bit over a month ago, got asked for further documents and now it’s been pending for 3-4 weeks

I submitted my DTV application yesterday and put my arrival date in Thailand as 25/10/24 because my doctors appointment slip is for 1/11/24.

That only allows 2 weeks between my lodgement and when I say I'm intending to arrive in Thailand.

Is that enough time? Very confident I've provided all documents to approve it but you never know of course.
