I have printed and laminated my DTV in passport book size. For those at hanoi westlake: [members only]

P.S. I don’t regret hiring an agent, i simply sent all my documents (naked) to the agent and the rest is done.

On my way to airport as i am typing this 🙂

I just did my 90 day report in person. It was an all day thing and very complicated especially since I had my passport renewed. I asked if we could do the 90 day report online from now on and they said no. Is this correct ?

I am hearing some changes to renewing a one year retirement visa?

I used an agent last year. I have a bank account with Bangkok bank. Agent says no problem come 1 month before its due. I have a few months..... What's everyone's expierence since renewing with their agent only in last few months or so.

Appreciate response. I used search function. Didn't find anything.

I am hearing about bank accounts being frozen and other issues.

My embassy doesn't verify funds for me.

Also I was ignorant and did not update my passbook as I couldn't find it for a bit so it doesn't show my consistent income of 65k + monthly entries .

Is there a way to get that from bank ? Is it necessary. ?

I really dont want to put up and leave 800k in a bank here. Whole reason I did my visa with an agent. If you know you remember how that hurdle is addressed. I am hearing that they can't do that anymore. Hence the 4 month freeze is what i think they're doing. Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for the help.

Hi everyone,

Please note that it seems easy, but it is not.

My application is rejected twice - once from The Netherlands, once from Vietnam. Why? We don’t know. I’ve done it through an agency called Issa Compass. They have a legal team making the case for you and apply when they think it’s a 100% go.

They don’t give you any reason. Been to the embassy, been calling everywhere. No answers.

My stuff is in my apartment in Bangkok 😂

Good luck everyone!

Where online do I file my 90 day report. Simple to do? Agent will do for 300 bht

With the number of DTV visa rejections I’ve been seeing, I’m starting to wonder—would using an agent actually be worth it? If they can help ensure all submitted documents are in order and reduce the risk of rejection, it might be a smart move. Losing 10,000 THB over a small mistake or missing paperwork would be frustrating. What do you guys think?

Hi my friend had trouble coming in, he had hassle at airport immigration saying he had come back too quick . He flew to uk after stayin in Thailand for 90 days from sept to December then he flew back on 16 January after more than a month at home. The officer gave him a real hard time , to the point he thought he was getting refused entry. He wants to extend his 60 day tourist entry to 90 like he did last time but his fear is the immigration officer said she had put a note on his file. Do you think an agent would be able to get information on what was put on the file, he’s terrified to go to immigration to try extend and get refused . This is only his second visit , he hast been to Thailand since covid and even then only came for a 30 day visit. Any suggestions, he is not a con man just wanting to have nice longer holiday with new friends he has met. What would be cost for an agent to do 30 day extension? And do you think they can access what has been put in his file by airport immigration? Thanks in advance

I would like to know if anyone has contact of an agent who can help me to do the 90 day report please. Thank you.

2 x 60 already and currently on a 30,is cambodia via agent feasible or best to avec and return autumn ?

Any first time visa holders with DTV have success opening a bank account? If so, which bank and how did you go about it?
