Thanks group! So far you’ve been invaluable. Will post my full experience soon. But….

I’m waiting for my 90 day Non O - to - Marriage visa extension to be approved. I’ve done everything, post 45 days immigration office visit. Then, my home visit 7 days later… etc.

My decision date is mid June. .. but, my mother is very unwell, she has dementia, sadly. So I need to fly back to the U.K for 5 nights next week. I’ll buy the re-entry permit that I’m required to of course, and I’ll be be back in Thailand at least 10 days before my immigration appointment for my marriage extension conclusion.

Is this ok?

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Dear all, another quick question if I may. I'm completing the evisa application and it asks for my occupation. I automatically stated my current role but I'm retiring before our planned arrival date in Thailand and plan to apply for a retirement visa once we complete the paper chase. Should I put retired on mine and my wife's applications? The supporting bank statements will show a monthly income at the time of application. As ever, thanks in advance for your advice.

Dear Friends,

I am supreme court lawyer, a remote consultant, content creator on tiktok, facebook and youtube. Only my tikok followers are almost 200K and facebook is about to cross 100K. I recently visited thailand and my revenue was much better than my home country Pakistan.

I have applied for DTV with all documents and financials etc with screenshots of my social media but since 20th April, 2025 there is no response whatsoever. My plan was to visit on 25th May and up till now documents check is only shown on the portal.

Shall i wait and cancel my upcoming plans?

Hi all, I'm planning to do 2 trips to Thailand later this year being November to December for 6 weeks and then return in early January till early April. I have asked the UK Thailand embassy and they have told me to get a METV - Multi Entry Tourist Visa and the guidance note states the following shuttle h I don't understand. Can any body help me as I'm unsure when to complete the application form and what dates I should put on it..

The validity of the METV is 6 months from the issue which means you must enter before the ‘Enter Before’ date shown. The entry before the date is important because the last possible entrance for 60 days has to be used when entering the day before the end before the date. Two of the three 60 day exit stamps could possibly be extended for 30 days at a Thai immigration office although your last entry must be no later than the ‘Enter Before’ date.

Cheers in advance

Yesterday i applied for the DTV. I thought it would take 10 workdays for it to be either approved or denied ( the Netherlands)

Now i read different stories that it takes more days. My flight is on the 5th of June.

Im thinking of changing my flight to a later date.

What would you suggest i should do?

Hey everyone, I have a UK passport, I work for a UK company, pay tax in UK, am registered to live and vote in the same address in UK as my bank account is registered at (one of my parent's house). Should I apply at the UK embassy? I am based variously around SE Asia. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam usually. Is it better to apply in my home country or in the country I'm actually in? . Please just be Kreng jai and Jai yen in your answers 🙏🏻 Khob khun krap

Applied for a business visa. They asked for a document indicating current location (Filipino who traveled to China for business). Submitted my entry stamp as a proof. Few days later, my application got cancelled due to "Inadequate support documents or explanation."

What else do they need or is there anything else I failed to provide? I don't have a hotel booking either since I'm currently staying in the company dormitory here in China.

To apply for the DTV visa, i need a letter of admission from the university.

So I need to pay 29,500 THB, takes 45 days for admission to be appoved, then can start my DTV process.

Hi, I've gotten a new passport but the passport office didn't mention anything about my stamp.

I entered Thailand on a Visa exempt by air 2 months ago and extended the visa by 1 month.

This stamp expires on the 21st so I'll be flying into Hanoi from Chiang Mai.

I am also allegedly flying to Bangkok tomorrow but I just realized my stamp is in the old passport (which I have on hand). Please advise - the UK passport office never said anything about the stamp.

Hi everyone! 🥰🥰 I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences. I was denied entry to Thailand two weeks ago due to concerns about long-term stays.

However, I’ve just had my DTV visa (workation–freelancer) approved here in Korea. I’m planning to re-enter Thailand next week.

Given the previous denial, is there still a chance I might face issues at the border, even with the DTV visa? Thanks so much in advance! 🙏🏾
