Hello. Applying from Lisbon. Can they invalidate an application for delay in the delivery of additional requested documents? My company is taking a few days to deliver a document they asked for 😔
Hello. I wanted to ask about extending a DTV visa.
I understood that you need to present ALL the documents that were initially presented when first got the visa,
only now the updated ones. So I wanted to ask:
1. Do you need to bring everything printed there (pay slips, bank balance, employment letter from the employer, etc.) including the translation of the documents into Thai ?!
It's at least 40 pages for me...
2. Some people said that you most present them a place of permanent residence or a house contract ?!
I travel and move from place to place, can I present just the TM30 from the hotel where I am staying at the time ?
3. When is the optimal time to do the extension ? 1 week before DTV expires, ok ?
First time online 90 day report questions. The date on my slip is 25 July. What are the window of dates when I can submit my online [what is the website address] reporting? Additionally I've read here and elsewhere it's a bit tricky to do the first time. Can anyone please provide any tips or suggestions to make this initial attempt happen smoothly and efficiently? Thanking all in advance for your support and sharing of previous experiences. Sincerely, MG
Hey everyone. I was approved for dtv workaction after 4 days in Hanoi. My wife then took an extra 4 days to get dtv as a spouse. Just a heads up, the payment portal hasn't been working the best and you might need to contact the embassy. This has been a common problem for a month apparently. Also, when we entered Chiang Mai, all of the people with a dtv were told to step to the side. It was like they had no idea what the visa was and they don't have the technology for the qr code so you have to fill out a manual form and they question you a lot. Has anyone had this experience?
I got medical procedure planned for this year, and since that will put me out of business for at least 3 to four months, I will do it in Thailand, so I can get nurtured back to health by my wife .
No I'm thinking about flying to Laos first
Get a two months visa at immigration there, and after surgery, go to immigration in my town to get extension (with a letter from my doctor )
Or
Go straight to Thailand
Get visa exempt, and than go immigration, with a letter from the doctor.
What is the best option.
Going to the embassy in my home country is kinda complicated, since I work offshore, and need to have my passport with me at all times.
I will do my non B single entry application in Jakarta. My plan is to hand in all the prepared documents, then go to Bali for a few days to then return and pick up my visa in Jakarta. My question is whether I have to hand in my passport along with all other visa documents as well? I apologize for this somewhat stupid question, but I’m wondering - since this will prevent me from hopping on a plane, even domestically, if I don’t have a passport for the time my visa application is in progress. Appreciate your answers, thanks!
2. 26th - request for additional documents (I submitted a professional passport photo, they wanted one taken on my phone (weird). Alongside another letter from my employer, the first letter noted I can "work from Asia" I asked my employer to rewrite adding in specifically "Work remotely from Thailand, and will not conduct any business in Thailand"
3. Submitted additional documents Saturday 28th.
4. Status changed to pending approval Monday 30th.
5. Visa received 1st July (8:30PM)
I submitted only what they asked for. Nothing additional such as a cover letter. They didn't ask to see more than the one month bank statement I provided (albeit I would have happily supplied them).
Hi all. I entered Thailand (via Bangkok) a couple days ago (UK passport holder so just getting a visitor visa at the desk). I noticed that the immigration officer used their personal iPhone to take a couple photos of her screen (don’t think pictures of my passport itself were taken) but noticed it and thought it was unusual as never seen this before. All other interaction was completely normal and was stamped and let in without issue. Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience. For note, this is my first time back to Thailand in 13 years.
