Is this their own visa or is it tied to the original visa somehow. As in, can they travel in/out separately? Renew separately?
My hubs and I own a commercial property we lease out in the US. Hoping this would suffice for DTV. Wondering if we should do the DTV + dependent or both get our own DTV. We often travel separately as we have different interests.
Our family bank account has both our names on it, will this be a problem when we apply?
So my LTR seems to have been rejected (according to the login page… I’ve received no info on why). Now I somehow need to get education visas for my kids before arrival in Bangkok on July 24 but the evisa site is apparently down. Any suggestions?
Hi everyone, I need some help regarding the DTV Soft Power visa (Cooking category).
We are a group of seven friends from Serbia, and we’re all planning to move to Bangkok.
On July 1st, each of us deposited 500,000 THB into our personal bank accounts, to meet the 3-month financial requirement for the DTV visa.
We plan to fly to Bangkok on October 15th, and were originally thinking of applying for the DTV visa on October 1st at the Thai embassy in Athens, Greece.
Now here’s our concern:
• If we apply on October 1st, we only have 15 days before our flight.
• We’re not sure if that’s enough time for the visa to be processed.
• If it gets delayed or rejected, we might waste the application fee and miss our flight plan.
So our question is:
👉 Is it too risky to apply for the visa in Athens just 15 days before our trip?
👉 Would it be a better option to just fly to Bangkok on a tourist exemption, and then do a visa run to Laos to apply for the DTV visa from there?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Okay I have my typo retirement visa for one year but I went through an agent and I now have the 800,000 in the bank how can I go about making everything legit now that everything has been faked just curious I want to make sure everything's legal I didn't know that going through an agent was doing something under board I've been putting the 64k in the bank every month and I just put the 800,000 in the bank. Should I wait until I apply for the extension or do I tell them I want to change to another type Visa when I do my 90-day check-in I haven't done the 90 day first check in yet because I had to leave the country to get my finances in order should I go back to the agent and tell him I want to start over what's the best route?
I applied for a soft-power visa (DTV visa) with a Muay Thai camp at the Thai embassy in Cambodia, but it was rejected after two and a half weeks — and I don’t know the reason why. My documents should have been exactly as required by the Thai authorities. Now I’m not sure what to do next. Can anyone help or has anyone experienced a similar situation?
I will be travelling from the UK on the 9th July to Vientiane, loa. Then I'll be entering Thailand in the next few days.
The problem is that I'm flying through Bahrain and China on SELF TRANSFER / both airports (collecting my luggage and re-checking it on my onward flightS.
Do I need a visa for travelling through Bahrain and China now.
Hey guys! What do you think about entering a third time in Thailand in a short period of time? So I stayed one month. Then travel for a week, come back for another month. Then travel for two weeks and coming back — is this last entry that I’m worried about, all entries are by plane.
I need some help understanding my current situation, if anyone has been through this, or knows what needs to be done.
Background - I am a foreign national working in Thailand, holding a Non-Imm B visa. I gave birth to a son this January and I checked with Immigration about his non-O visa, they said to get it once he leaves the country before he comes back.
We're visiting home (Ireland) for 15 days this mid-July, so we would need to apply for his non-O while we are there so that he can have it when we're back in Bkk.
Here's where I have a few questions:
1. I cannot apply for it when we're in Bkk, I need to wait until we reach Ireland to apply for it. The consular says I need 15 working days for the visa to come through, but Thai eVisa says it's 3-10 working days. (Going to the consulate is also not an option because the only one for the UK and Ireland is in London.) We don't have 15 working days, so can I actually apply for it anyway before we go?
2. If yes, the online form asks for proof that he is in Ireland. I emailed the consulate to ask what I could use to prove this. They replied with "local utility bills," which obviously he won't have. For this, could I just use my Thailand rental agreement? But that won't prove that he's currently in Ireland, so I'm unsure what would work here.
3. If I can't get the visa on time, he can obviously come back visa-free, but I don't know the process to change that to a non-O dependent visa - if someone could share that with me.
