Does anyone have a recommendation for a fast track service that’s taken you through immigration in Bangkok and been smooth and quick! How do I organise this? Thank you!
Hello im from Belgium 😀 54m married in Kalasin. I try to get a 90day visa but the visa website always freeze. When i ask around in Thailand the Prices are sometime extravagant. Can somebody guide me the right way? Or a correct person for help. Thank you.
Submitted in Hanoï on the 3rd, approved today the 12th
I follow what Chat GPT told me to do and it was good advice. It wrote me the correct introduction letter and advised me what to put and to remove. Too many info can trigger questions. It read all my files and made me make some changes with real good arguments (that's why I followed it, not blindly of course).
Also I myself translated all documents and put the french and the translated version.
DTV and Dependent Approved. Application submitted and paid for on December 27 in Vientane, LDR. DTV approved Jan 6 at 9 pm without interview. Dependent application submitted and paid for Jan 8. Request for further documentation Jan 13 and approved Jan 14. Total approval duration 19 days. Total stay in Laos 21 days. Activity: Culinary, House of Taste Cooking School BKK (Legitimate). They assisted with initial application. Income documentation: Savings, substantial USD.
I know it’s much easier to just do a border bounce, but does anyone know the current requirements for extending the DTV visa in Koh Phangan, Koh Samui or Surat Thani?
I’m traveling with my infant and feeling too lazy to go abroad right now, so I’d love to try the extension route first if possible.
Has anyone successfully done it recently? Any tips or updates would be super appreciated!
Dear members, I've researched the topic but I would like to ask this group as well... Has anyone here applied for DTV for soft power while non-B was still valid?
I've been working legally in Thailand for two years, but my employment will end next month and naturally, my non-B will be cancelled. My plan is to apply for DTV for Muay Thai (I've been training for years) while my non-B is still valid, return to Thailand on my non-B after DTV gets approved (hopefully), and when the non-B gets cancelled next month, I'd leave Thailand again and return on DTV.
My income will come from investments in my home country and online work from outside the country. I will not work in Thailand - but I wish to avoid that officers will suspect otherwise. Has anybody else transitioned from non-B to DTV like this? I'd appreciate you to share your experience, tips & tricks...
