Hello everyone, I am gathering some info concerning this process. I just found out in a website that the application for the DTV has to be made from the country you have your employment / country you live in? Is that true? Thanks a lot

I exited Thailand through BKK new automatic doors and I haven’t been given any DEPARTURE STAMPS.

It’s like I never left the country…

While I’m outside…

Normally when you exit they stamp with the departure date so that any future agent reading the passport can see you exited before your visa expire.

Is this normal ?

So.... apparently the Thai embassy in Portugal doesn't review visa applications AT ALL?

I applied for my DTV visa last week. I have my flight booked for the 31st. With Christmas and NY in the way, Portugal can get quite slow until the New Year, so naturally I am bit nervous about it.

So I gave the embassy a call to ask them if they could kindly look at my application prior to my flight.

And the lady on the phone told me... they don't review applications at all? She said that all visa applications go directly to Thailand and that Thailand notifies the embassy if they need more documents or not. So they don't even know about my application or anyone else's for that matter.... what?

I've been reading non-stop on this group that embassies deal directly with the applications, so I am wandering if this lady was just trying to push me away? She didn't even want to know my name. I was polite and respectful the whole time (as was she).

I also emailed them twice over the last 2 weeks and they never even replied.

I am Portuguese myself, applying through soft power cooking course.

Any thoughts/help would be much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Need some advice here.

I am currently working for a company and am under extension of Stay of Non-B Business Visa. It expires on January the 5th 2026.

I resigned from this job and will start a new job in January.

Documents won't be ready by January the 5th, so I will have to leave Thailand and apply for a new Non-B visa abroad.

My question is as follows: Do I need to go to the immigration to have my visa officially cancelled before I leave OR I can just abroad on, say, 4th or 5th and my visa will be automatically cancelled upon leaving at the airport/ border checkpoint?

I also have the multiple re-entry permit if that matters.

TIA.

Hi everyone. Is there anyone here who was not approved for DTV?

If so, for what reason? And were you able to appeal?

My case- my application was canceled and I don't know why

Looking for some advice on the Visa free possibility of extension.

Australian passport holder landing in Thailand for the first time, expecting to receive 60 day stamp.

Is it possible to pay for extension at immigration without doing border run?

Thank you in advance. 🙏

I'm trying to create a timeline for my retirement in Thailand. I will be applying for a Non O 90 day visa. I live in the USA now, about how long does it take to be approved on the average? Just an approximate, I know all applications can take different times. Next, after approval, how long is it valid before I actually go to Thailand. My reason is I am in the process of selling all my stuff and then I need to sell my condo. I don't want to be approved so far in advance that it expires before I can leave. Thanks.

I'm from the U.S. and received an non-o visa from the Royal Thai Embasy in L.A. last October. MY flight was delayed and it expired before I arrived in Thailand. Can I re apply for it here in Thailand. I've been married to a Thai national for 5 years and we have all the documents with us. Someone said I have to leave to re apply??? Why?

Is it required to show the funds of 500k at the airport for DTV visa?

Guys I applied for the 90 day report online and I think it was successful. They sent an email with the tm47 filled out. Do I need to bring that in to immigration or have I completed the 90 day report?
