DTV Approved in NY embassy ✅

This was interesting, I got a call from the local police dept today. I am American and because of the issue in Iran they said they were checking in on anyone from the USA … found out there are 3 other USA citizens in our District. The call was legit, I thought it was a scam so I said I could not talk that I would call back. I had my Thai wife call and it was legit … turned out my wife and the officer knew each other from School … so I don’t know if I should be uncomfortable or feel more safe 🤷‍♂️ I wasn’t worried about anything before now I am not sure how I feel😂

Hi I’m American and I want to apply for dtv visa I have 2 children how does that work far as ; will my children automatically receive dtv or do I have to apply for them separately? I’ve never done this before so please keep harsh comments to self !! I just want some guidance…. Thanks in advance

I am American in process of applyibg for DTV. Which insuranxe company and plan do you use?

Can Americans obtain background checks while residing in Thailand? My current background check is set to expire in five weeks, and I intend to apply for a different visa in Thailand. I believe it would be prudent to have more than a few weeks remaining on the background check, considering the unpredictable nature of the visa process, which could potentially take several weeks.

For Americans…applying for non-immigrant O retirement visa. How long from the time you apply online to the time of an in person interview? And from the day of interview to the time of acceptance?(or denial). And then one would have 90 days from that day of acceptance to arrive in Thailand? Thanks!

Could an American expat, married to a Thai woman, apply for a family based Non-O visa, come in, and just before the 90 days expires, leave, then apply again for the same visa, and do this repeatedly? Will the embassy abroad or the IO tell him to get a yearly extension or else? Tnx.

PS. Have already extended five times in as many years, but the current 400k THB may have to be used for other necessities.

Everybody what's up I just wanted to make a quick post about a few things I'm currently doing documentaries about Thailand and certain places but I'm just trying to probably find a more permanent place to stay somewhere here in Southeast Asia been thinking about Cambodia but here in Thai visa forms I joined originally to see what I could do about my situation since I am a younger American I'm not really wealthy enough to have a VIP but at the same exact time I know that when it comes to maybe in the future if it comes to reentry what would be some advice as far as coming back into Thailand for say to visit a family friend and or documentaries? Or would just be hopping over just as long as I don't do it as often and be okay?

hello! looking for information from folks that have recently applied as a remote worker in Hanoi. both my partner and myself want to apply (canadian & american).

we have both had language ED visas in the past, and have spent many months over the years in Thailand. I see a lot of info in this chat about extra documents requested, i’ll list here what i’m seeing as necessary. please add your experience and any other documentation you needed!

also, i see people recommending folks to check the specific embassy’s requirements for documentation, but i’m not finding that information on Hanoi’s website outside of the basic requirements.

documents to provide:

- cover letter explaining past and present work and what i’ve been doing in thailand

- work contracts (freelancer from september, employed from jan 1st)

- CV

- examples of my work

- record of employment

- my employer’s company incorporation/registration as a 501c3

- letter from employer about me working remotely

- bank statements showing 500k from how many months? showing incoming payments from my employer. i also was a freelancer being paid in crypto before, should i include that?

- other basic docs like passport scan, passport photo, vietnam entry stamp, vietnam hotel booking

thanks in advance for any support!

For Americans that applied for the DTV in the USA, did you have to show a plane ticket and intended place to stay ? The LA consulate lists neither as a requirement and it says you can use the visa whenever you want.

But did they make you show a plane ticket and place to stay in Thailand or no ?

How months of bank statements did they want ?

Because when you apply it says don’t apply more than 3 months before intend stay.
