DTV (workation) approved by Ottawa. Submitted yesterday afternoon, was immediately asked for additional document (company registration), was approved today. Cost $650CAD (16,500 THB). Ottawa is notoriously slow with e-visas so I was shocked by the quick turnaround. This visa couldn't be more perfect for me as I travel to Thailand annually for about a 5 month stretch, stay with my GF and work remotely. No more extensions or border bounces!

Edit: approved today!! (24 hours)

Hi, so this is the timeline:

Laksi- Cambodia- Laksi- Cambodia- ?

Is Laksi can be the next option or it should be Laos?

Thanks

Might help someone who also messed up their paperwork this year: I exited by road on 15th to Savvanakhet. Applied for visa day 1. Cost 2000thb. Submitted app form, kor ror 2, copy of wife's name change cert, copy of her I'd and house book, copy of all of my passport pages and 2 passport photos. You will need to go to visa on arrival at Laos with another photo and form, then pay 50 baht for the bus accross (don't exit thailand before buying a ticket or face some stern words from the IO who has to go get it for you, oops). There is a good hotel called machiato coffee which is 30 seconds from the office and has everything you need, except the WiFi is a bit slow. Thanks to the advisers on this page that helped the trip run so smooth.

Good morning to the group! I want/need to extend my TR visa by 30 days during my stay in Hua Hin. Does anyone have experience with immigration in Hua Hin?

Specifically:

Where is the immigration centre?

Are there generally long waiting times there?

Is it better to go there in the morning or in the afternoon?

Many thanks for your help

I'm applying for a 60 day I have booked a one way to thailand will a one way out of thailand to vietnam be enough to qualify tia this is my first time applying I want to get everything in order thanks

Hy Folks

Got my E Visa approved today . Cheers for the help folks . Especially the guy that said He used His Drivers License for proof of where you are .

The rest of the stuff is easy ( if good with computers ) , i thought i'd hve problems with proof of where i was staying as only booked for a week . But no sailed through .

Just a money making exercise by the looks of it .

Had our online METV's approved yesterday in the UK; my wife and I are both UK citizens, over 70.

Approval was on day 8, probably 5th working day.

We have been going to Thailand for the last 14 years and this was our second online application.

Some learning that may help others.

1. Login to the UK site needs email and password, same as original visa account setup. KEEP AN ACCURATE RECORD, as you can't use the same email address if you forget it!

2. We arrive in Thailand November 12, about 21 days before our condo booking, but didn't need to upload the letter our daughter in law provided to show we were staying with them in BKK before going to the condo in Hua Hin.

3. We provided our flight details for the 4 and a half month stay,(home on 1/4/24) and didn't need to provide evidence that we would do a visa run after 60 days. So we will do what we did last year and get the 30 day extension at Immigration in Hua Hin in January.

Just as well cos couldn't find a flight to Siem Reap in early Jan. (our favourite visa run destination - 40 mins from Don Mueang International Airport)

4. I uploaded 6 months bank details for our joint account on both applications.

5. I used the electoral register letter as proof of UK residency.

6. I used annual pension statements to show income.

7. I uploaded the condo deposit receipt to show accommodation was booked.

The visa website is not the easiest to use and it might just be me, but most questions only take 1 upload, so the second one replaces what you put in originally. Recommend checking all your inputs before pressing the "pay" button and sending your £150.

....... and relax!

I said I was, and we have

Our first night in Thailand

Well, we had to enjoy our first sunset 😍

Got a condo for a month, now looking for something more suitable but I won’t say what as do not want to break any group rules and I certainly do not want to tempt any of you in here to break them so please NO DMs, NO Advertising, and no random comments, just keep doing what you do as you are all brilliant

Any way around this? I fly in and out of Thailand every month. I am on an LTR remote working. Every month I get stamped in until 2028. But my passport is filling up with stamps. Any ideas to get around this? Thanks

I’m in Pattaya now and want to arrange for a UK tourist visa for my girlfriend to come and stay with me in the Uk for 6months. Anyone able to recommend an agent I can go and talk to? Thanks.
