Hey guys, I’m in Hanoi applying for DTV visa and have a problem with the ‘Place of issue’ for my passport. I have a Polish passport that I got in Jakarta, and it says ‘Authority’, which I assume is the same thing.

The problem is that it only says (in Polish) ‘Consul in Jakarta’ and that’s it. I'm unsure whether I should write it as it is, translate it, or something else. I know people got rejected because of that issue.

Btw, the embassy is not answering my emails 🙂 And the phone seems busy all the time.

Applied on May 4

Sent additional documents on May 26

Los Angeles Consulate website says it takes 5 business days to process additional documents. Today is the end of the 5th business day and I haven't heard anything. I sent an email yesterday but no response. Any advice on what to do? My departure date is June 9

Can anyone recommend the best and easiest way to get a tourist visa for Australia

Where do you get the best advice and help

Thank you

I have an American passport and I have used Visa exempt on arrival several times along with a couple of border runs to Laos since October 2023. In March 3 I married a wonderful Thai woman. I'm in America now and had an eye surgery but now I have a flight back to Thailand on June 10. My question is if I have a copy of my marriage documents and explain my situation and that I am immediately going to follow the requirements for a marriage Visa. Do you think that the IO will allow an entry on Visa exempt one more time without much problems. I realize that it's up to the IO that I will be in front of but what is the groups thoughts on my chances

Thanks for your advice in advance

Due to a variety of factors I ended up doing a third border run. I used an agency each time and got no bad words or looks from any IO. I fully understand many will say that I’ve “cheated the system“. But for those of you who can overlook this and have reliable knowledge I will ask you this very important question:

If I leave Thailand in July and then apply online for a non O 90 day visa when I am in the USA (for two or three months) will my three border runs possibly cause my application to be denied?

The father is an EU member national, and his daughter holds dual nationality (Thai/EU nationality). If applying for the NON O guardian visa based on a Thai child is not an option, the alternative would be the NON O guardian visa based on a non Thai child, that is, through her ED visa as a student at an international school, with the father attached to her visa as her guardian.

My question is: would the father be eligible to pursue this second option?

For instance, by submitting the child’s EU birth certificate and her EU passport at the local immigration for the extension?

Please note, I am not seeking advice on the first option (guardian of a Thai child), so I kindly ask that responses focus solely on the alternative route.

Additional context:

• The child is 10 years old

• She was born in Thailand

• She holds both Thai and EU passports

I do bear in mind that, different immigration offices exercise discretion differently.

Thank you in advance for your input and for sharing any similar experiences.

Hi all, so I have a friend his visa got denied, he’s Nigerian. The email they sent didn’t state the reason.

What’s the best possible solution for him? Because he had submitted all the necessary documentation, and even went for a physical interview.

Can his visa get an appeal or what can he do about it? Thank you all

Just arrived in Thailand went to start my visa process. Any advice? Looking for a good agent.

Hi. I’ve just done my TDAC and it was easy and I got my confirmation and QR code straight away,

The only bit that gave me pause was the sub district ( in the address section) because that wasn’t on my accommodation address. So I looked it up on the map. Hope that helps.

Currently under a Tourist visa that expires in one month:

I need to extend and find the best visa for 6 months until October (become 50 and can get RTM).

DTV prices seem very expensive for 6 months.

I have had ‘ challengers’ at airport from immigration due to previous stamps.

What’s the best advise for a 6 month visa ….

Thank you
