Hello everyone 🙏🏻

I have a question for the group:

I'm planning to ordain as a buddhist monk in November for over a year and would like to inquire about the proper procedures for obtaining the appropriate visa. Could you kindly provide me with information on the visa that I need? Process, requirements, costs, and processing times?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer to ensure a smooth application process.

May I ask one quick question, how to fill out the last port of embarkation in DTV application ? For instance, if I am applying from Laos (came from Thai) and then I planned to leave for Thailand after getting the Visa. I should add Laos or Thailand as my last port of embarkation in my application ? Many thanks !

Heads up for those applying:

I applied for the DTV on March 4th, and received a rejection today stating "*Mismatched date of birth on application (12 March 2025)*". I was told I have to reapply and pay again, and this time when I was filling out the application form, I noticed that when I uploaded my passport into the application, it automatically changed some of the information I already input manually.

It changed my birth date and the passport expiration date. So I'm assuming that this is what happened the first time. So, learn from my mistake and triple check your information before moving on to the next page, even if you think you already confirmed.

Hi everyone, quick question about the financial statements. I am a freelancer with a sole trader company based in HK. I want to submit the statements from my compnay bank account. I am the sole director of the company and I have documents to prove that I am the sole director (my name registered on the company documents), which I will submit also. However, the account is in the name of the company, not my personal name. Does anyone have experience with this? Did you submit your company bank account instead of a personal account? Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hypothetical situation, you applied for an e-visa in your home country. Due to uncontrollable circumstances, there was a very long delay in the approval process. You have taken the decision to travel to Thailand and enter visa exempt, instead of waiting for e-visa approval. I am thinking this may have consequences. Maybe you are denied entry visa exempt, because of pending e-visa approval or upon entry visa exempt, the e-visa application is automatically cancelled, as it should be. If anyone has had this experience, I would be interested in hearing your story.

I am currently staying in Bangkok and am interested in obtaining an education visa.

What are some Language school / mauy Thai schools in Bangkok that are good?

Thank you !

I’m married to a Thai national. Presently I’m in India. Whats are the ways I can apply for a DTV? I’m confused about so many options being available like soft power or something. They just confuse me. Pls help someone 🙂 #tia

Searched and just didn't find a suitable answer so please excuse if this has been covered and I glazed over it.

Scenario :

I am currently on 2nd year of non-OA visa, good until late April.

I have prints of original visa, now technically expired.

I have prints of required insurance good through late April.

The original visa is 'multiple entry'.

Neither 'stamp' in my passport shows any reference to 'multiple entry', year 1 or 2, that I can tell.

I may need to return 'home' for a short period. My biggest question is, will my multiple entry still be honored? What should I do in anticipation when leaving and returning? I expect to have prints of the original visa and the current insurance going and returning.

What can/should I expect?

Thanks!

I plan to enter Thailand via Savarnaphumi Airport, get 60 day VOA, then apply for a 30 day extension at about the 45 day point to stay a total of 90 days. Is that doable?
