Hi guys,

I requested documents from Canberra, and since I have two jobs, I was provided with both contracts and a letter stating that I’m allowed to work remotely from anywhere.

However, the Thai Embassy asked for the following, and I’m a bit confused:

1) I already provided the company number in the letter, but they seem to be asking for something more official, such as a Companies House Certificate of Incorporation or a Companies House Company Profile.

Has anyone experienced this, or can you clarify what exactly they are expecting?

2) They also seem to want another letter confirming that I’m allowed to work remotely while staying in Thailand.

My previous letter included my salary and highlight work from anywhere remotely — for this new letter, is it necessary to include salary again, or is it enough to simply confirm that remote work from Thailand is permitted?

Any advice from those who have applied would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Has anyone applied for the DTV from with the States? There is an embassy in Washington DC. Anyone have experience?

Hi everyone, asking for a friend on the basis of visa exempt. Free 60 days and they want to extend for the 30. If they go to immigration let’s say a week before the full 60 is up, does the extension start from the time they go to the office or the time that the 60 days will expire? I remember it being when you go to the office, but reading mixed results online. Thank you!

Hi all. Any experience kind soul can give me a step by step guide to apply for a Thai marriage visa. My Thai wife wasn’t very sure and we are trying to avoid going to an agent if possible. We are married in my country but next year, we decided to go back to Thailand to live permanently. Any help is much appreciated thanks 🙏

Just arrived at Suvarnabhumi - short lines through immigration. I had a couple of short one week stays in 2025 and then one visa exempt 60 + 30 stay. IO asked to see proof of my flight out before the end of this 60 day visa-exempt visit. Provided and sent on my merry way.

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. 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.
