Both my partner and I had our DTVs approved from Canberra swiftly and efficiently.
Applied on October 7th end of day. Mine was approved with no further document requests on Tuesday the 14th.
My partner's was cancelled on the 14th due to passport issuing date being wrong (we're sure this was a tech glitch due to passport auto fill as my partner triple checked his application before submitting). Canceled at 1:30pm Tuesday the 14th. Reapplied at 9pm same day. Just approved at 11am on October 16th. No further document requests.
Workcation category.
We both run our own businesses.
I'm an employee of my business. He's self-employed through his business.
Showed proof of regular income, more than 500k BHT in bank account. Payslips for 6 months from our companies.
Company formation documents.
Employment contracts that detailed the work we do for our company.
Cover letters that detailed every item we uploaded (written very simply like for a 4th grader).
Proof of location was a GPS and time date stamped photo (with an app from app store), plane tickets, and my Australian PR visa (I'm from the US, he's an Australian citizen).
We did not have return tickets booked. Just picked a flight for next Tuesday and said in the
Cover letter we'd book once visa was approved.
Also included TM30 (not our lease) which showed we have a rental for a year (which we got just before we came to Australia to apply for the visa).
Much simpler process than anticipated (although putting together all of the docs does take time - we used AI to help us write the letters, employment contract, and create letterhead).
It was so fast to get approval!! We're so happy.
Thanks to everyone in this group. It's been super helpful.
Biggest lesson: Just be sure to enter your passport details manually. Paying the application fee twice was a bummer but in all no hassles!
Australian citizen, just used my DTV for my second entry into Thailand.
Both times I've been interrogated about my accomodation in Thailand, and this time the immigration officer seemed quite hostile and asked me for exit date, if I have a Thai wife, if I live in Cambodia (that's the consulate I asked for my DTV), what was I doing in Cambodia, and if I'm working in Thailand.
Could I be doing something wrong to attract all this attention? I don't mind a few questions, but I thought I'd got a valid visa in accordance with Thai immigration rules.
So far it has caused more scrutiny than just using a visa waiver.
I'm an Australian citizen with a current Australian passport and financially self sufficient. Have travelled to Thailand many times extending my 30 day VOA by an additional 30 days for a total 60 day stay - always done at the Phuket or Pattaya Thai immigration offices.
For my upcoming trip I plan on staying 84 days total. Is there a visa available to total 90 days?
Or do have to do a "visa run" after 60 days?
I have had no info success on the nett and both the Thai Consulates in Sydney and Canberra don't answer their phones.
Any constructive help/direction would be greatly appreciated.
Can an Australian citizen still get a 12 month multi entry "Non-Immigrant Visa "O" (For the purpose of visiting family member of a Thai nationality, a spouse of Thai national)" at the Savannakhet Consulate without the need to show funds and without insurance?
I have visited Chiangmai many times and wish to apply for a “O-A” Non Immigrant Visa and am an Australian citizen currently living in Brisbane. I am presently awaiting legal matters to be settled and am wondering if I sent application papers to the Thai Embassy in Canberra and am approved, how long after issuance of visa, do I have to travel? Also, there seems to be a lot of paperwork involved in the process and am concerned that matters may be delayed if I make one small mistake filling out paperwork, I may have to resubmit. Could any Aussies please enlighten? Thanks!
