Using the TM.7 application form can the DTV be extended once per entry stay for up to an extra 180 days, which means you could stay in Thailand for a total of up to 360 days (180 days + 180 days) without leaving Thailand?
I submitted and paid for my DTV for medical reasons in Phnom Penh and got an email *"Other request documents: please upload samples of portfolio/work"*. I can't find where to upload these.

I submitted my dtv application on Nov 3rd to Thai NY consulate. I am a resident of FL, but just recently moved and staying with family in NYC where I’m originally from. Received a document request message yesterday “Prove of your current resident in our consular jurisdiction (NY,NJ,NH,ME,MA,OH,PA,RI,VT) ,e.g. Electric bill, Gas bill, State ID, Driver's license, Lease Agreement, US bank statement”
Is there an issue with my selection of Thai NY consulate instead of Washington consulate if I’m a FL resident? I submitted proof of current location using my sister’s address and included her apartment lease agreement, NY ID card, and utility bill and she signed letter stating I am staying at her residence until Jan 2026.
Appreciate any advice familiar with this response from Thai NY consulate
Hi when applying for the Thai- marriage visa stamp when is your evidence required marriage cert & Partners details & banking plus your pension payments plus the 4oo,ooo bht etc,is this done before on Thai embassy app or is it applied for just before your 60 days are completed after you have opened the Thai Bank Account.Reason for Question is im confused as you cant open a bank account unless you have the Visa .
I want to apply for a DTV visa for Thailand, but I have a few questions.
My current residence is in Canada, but my available funds and bank account are in France, the country where I was born. I’m wondering if having my bank account in a different country from my residence could cause any issues with my application.
If I go to Vietnam and apply from there using my French passport and my bank in France, do you think that could work better?
When I was living in Canada, I had to renew my French passport at the French Consulate in Vancouver in Canada. On my passport, my residence is listed as my Canadian address. Could this be a problem ? Thank you for your advice!
Canadian passport, considering applying for soft powerfrom Vietnam (so I can scope out gyms before choosing which one) as the Ottawa embassy is experiencing a large backlog.
I read a few months ago that the 500k proof needed to be "stamped by the bank" but when I did a "test" application, the site didn't specifically ask for it to be anything more than statements.
So I'm asking for clarification, can I just (CONDENSED ALL INTO ONE) the pdfs of the last 3 months of bank statements, proving the funds? Or do I need to get an official letter from the bank?
I have appreciated all the info the group has provided.
I applied for my Thai visa while in Bali, through the Thai Embassy in Jakarta. The process there was a bit slow — they asked for extra documents before approving it, but once I submitted everything, it went through fine.
About a month later, when I arrived in Phuket earlier today,, immigration took me aside to a holding area. They said they didn’t have the documents that Jakarta had received, and asked me to send them again. I had to dig through my computer and email them to a personal Gmail address (not an official government one), which felt a bit odd.
After about 15 minutes, one of the liasons came back and said okay, then told me I could go through immigration. They also had me fill out another short form with general information.
Overall, it wasn’t a big problem, but it definitely wasn’t as smooth as other people make it sound. My impression is that Phuket immigration might not be very familiar with this particular type of visa, or they just want to put on a front of being tough.
