Can I get a workcation DTV if I have been living in Thailand for 3+ years?

I have a Non B but considering switching to the DTV next time I am back in the UK, but I have some concerns about being asked for additional paperwork, such as:

• Tax returns

• Proof of residence

• Payslips

I can provide all of these, but they would be Thai documents. I'm guessing this would be an issue, and possibly a red flag that I have a history of working in Thailand with a Non B?

I can provide all of the standard documents - corporation certification, letter from company, 500k in a UK account (can provide proof of address in home country with this).

Hi guys, I will be changing employers soon in Bangkok and my current HR has advised that my family and myself need to go to Chaengwattana immigration in person to cancel our Non B's. They will provide all the documents to do so...

My question is, has anyone got any personal experience in doing this? How difficult is the process ( I know I probably can't get an exact answer to this question).

Lastly, would it be better to let an agent do this, as it means my son will miss a day of school (he won't be complaining though hah) and I really dislike going to this place in general! Any recommendations for a visa agent if this is a better route to take?

Any decent advice would be appreciated.

Hello. If I'm on a Non B work visa and I process the DTV soft power... do I need to cancel the non B visa first? I don't want to cancel it if I get rejected for the DTV Visa. Thank you 🙏

Respect post please

So I will try to do 1 year Non B Visa E-Extension soon. May I ask if what is the “Letter of confirmation and request for a temporary stay” document could be? What could be the additional documents I should upload?

And are there any reviews and recommendations about visa extension whether I should do it online or in immigration office?

Thanks!

We need to go to a neighbouring country to apply for a Non B visa… which option is best out of Laos, HK or KL? (UK nationals).

Hello, I currently have a Non B visa without a work permit and I'm moving to a new school. May I ask what will be the process because I'm getting mix answers.

I’m currently in Vientiane to get my Non B visa,

Do you apply online this year for the visa or how does it work ?

Previously I had to book an appointment online and submit the documents in person

How is it done this year ?

Thank you

Denied in Taipei🥲

Type: remote worker (for 1 company, not freelance)

Situation: coming from non B visa

Heartbroken to say that I was denied in Taipei. It is a specific situation, as I have worked in Thailand, legally for 3 years. I accepted a remote job and came to Taipei to switch my visa type to DTV.

Even with a current contract and first payment made by current company (+600,000 tbh banked and consistent income for past 6 months from past job), they denied because they wanted me to have 6 months of income *from my current contract.*

Note: I also had everything else in order, including the employment letter (stating remote position), company registration documents etc.

The issue they had, specifically, was was that I hadn’t been in my current role for 6 months. Pretty much they told me to leave and try again in 6 months time when I am established at my new job. There was no remedying it with them.

— and genuinely this was so shocking because I’d never heard of this being the case for anyone else before. Am I wrong on this?

So, if you are coming from a non B and are switching to remote work, please be aware that this is the way Taipei approaches this scenario.

If you have a similar work history but successfully gotten a DTV visa, can you please comment? I’d really like to understand what else I can do and how I can better plan my application in the future.

Hi everyone,

My wife is about to give birth and I need to change my visa to Non B and need to apply outside.

Is it possible for me to go somewhere like Vietnam, apply online and fly back to Thailand while my visa is getting approved? Or do I need to be in Vietnam while I wait for the result?

The Thai Embassy in Vientiane, Laos will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 01 January 2025 with 10-15 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa. The last day for accepting in-person applications at Vientiane is 20 December 2024.

Again, the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia will start accepting Thai E-Visa applications on 26 November 2024 with 10 working days for processing of a Thai E-Visa.
