Question: When documentation is requested (via Washington DC) how long do we have to submit the requested paperwork? I ask because I would like to wait for my June Statement to print…i have 18,700 K USD on that one. In May I had 17,500K but in april I did not have the amount I think I was at like 14k USD. Also my full name is not on this account just my First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name. Should I include a page explaining situation? On initial submission i submitted one statement, a current screen shot of the balance and two tax returns. What do you guys recommend?
I applied 18 june for the DTV , passed al documents ; and since 21 june i wait for the approval
I am planning to leave 17th July from Cambodia to Thailand so I hope to have the visa in due time, however if that would not be the case and the visa would be granted after 17th july , can i then simply got to thailand 60 days with EU pasport, return september to cambodia and then use the DTV
in other words, if they grant the visa how many days you have before entering Thailand ??
Has anyone experienced or heard of someone being pulled aside at the airport upon returning to Thailand when using their visa for the first time?
I recall seeing a post in this group about someone who was put in immigration detention for a few hours and had their bank accounts checked to verify the financial details provided in their visa application.
i never heard about this before, and wonder if it happened to more people.

I’m seeking advice or insights from anyone who may have gone through a similar situation.
I’ve been living and working in Thailand for the past 17 years as a university instructor. I’m a U.S. citizen and have held a valid work permit and visa throughout my time here.
Recently, I officially obtained Thai citizenship through my mother, who is Thai by birth. I now have my Thai National ID card and have submitted all necessary documents to my workplace so that my employment records are now under my Thai ID instead of my U.S. passport.
Here’s where I’m unsure:
My current work permit and visa (issued under my U.S. passport) are valid until October 2025. I asked my employer what I need to do about closing or canceling them, and they told me I don’t need to do anything—that I should just let them expire since I’m now legally Thai.
That doesn’t sound quite right to me. I feel like there should be some formal process to close out the old visa and work permit under my foreign passport. I’m worried that “doing nothing” might leave a loose end or even a negative mark in the immigration system, especially if I ever need to re-enter Thailand in the future using my U.S. passport (just hypothetically).
Has anyone here been through this process or have advice on what steps I should take? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
I have obtained DTV in last year. My visa is sticker visa type. Now my passport is going to expire in coming December thus I would play new passport in my resident country. How do I transfer my dtv visa to New passport? TIA.
More of a nervous post. I'm going tomorrow for my non O marriage under consideration stamp. I've never heard of it and I've never been denied before. But what if it is denied? Do you just refile the paperwork? Or have to do a border run?
Someone told me they don't deny these for the marriage visas. Unless it's like a blatantly fake marriage or something.
When filing for the TDAC is the arrival date considered Day 1 or is Day 1 the day before arrival? Example: I arrive on July 3. Is July 1 the earliest I can submit for the card?
