Something Interesting! on my previous visit in my DTV visa, Lady officer asked me many questions before giving me stamp, But today i look for a counter at BKK APT with male officer. He just asked to show the visa soft copy, thats it he gave me stamp without any questions!

Many ppl in this group said lady IO's are strict. Thats seems to be true.

Hi All,

My question is regarding change of Address, moving out from BKK to other area (like Hua Hin/Rayong/phuket..) that will decided later.

when changing address in immigration of new area should my wife be involved due to my existed yearly extension is base on marriage?

I am thinking to change the extension to retirement later on...but now I am under marriage.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hello everybody! I'm currently on a DTV visa, but I married recently and want to switch to a non-o marriage visa. Can somebody tell me if I need to cancel my DTV visa first, before I can apply for a non-o marriage visa? Or I can simply apply for the new visa and my old visa would be automatically cancelled?

Someone here mentioned that only the embassy/consulate who issued you the visa can cancel it. I got my DTV from Laos, Consulate. Do I need to visit Laos again to cancel my DTV visa?

I'll be applying for non-o visa from my home country and not Laos. So making a trip to Laos just to cancel my current DTV visa will be quite a hassle.

So here’s my experience getting a Thailand DTV visa… and doing it the way everyone says NOT to do it.

HANOI DTV APPLICATION TIMELINE:

02/06 Applied

02/09 Requested more info

02/10 Submitted additional documents

02/11 Flew back to Bangkok (forgot my external HD and needed files ASAP)

02/12 DTV approved 😫

Honestly way faster than I expected, especially considering I left Vietnam mid-process.

Now the real question… how exactly do I get this stamped into my passport? Anyone gone through activation yet?

Just entered bkk on a workation dtv issued last April. No questions at all. Didn't need to show the dtac as I guess it's linked to the pp number. She also didn't need both hands on the finger print for some reason. Stamped for 180 days.

What is the procedure of reverting back to a Non O visa based on marriage from a Non O retirement? We are still married. I just changed my visa because of the ease of paperwork on renewal

I am from UK, and some say I may need a police DBS criminal record clearance for certain visas , I have a physical copy of my UK DBS from 2019 , which Is obviously all clean, but after 2019 , I registered my DBS on the online update service ,so you pay a yearly fee for it to be online for ever if you wish to do so, this is so any employer or who ever needs it can access it online , so no print out Is required no more , they are doing away with paper work as digital is the future, so my question is do I just give thailand my permission to view the DBS through the UK goverments online system. Just wondering if Thailand are this up to date yet ? And if not what have I got to do, I can't go to DBS criminal check people and say I need a new certificate as I can't see them issuing it, there is no point to issue me one they will think it's very odd and this may raise concerns like I am trying to get duplicate copies to forge or something ?
