Hello. I need help. I tried to apply for my DTV visa as a freelancer in Cambodia. And after 15 days, I received an email saying: "Your visa application has been cancelled. wrong country of passport."

Can I call to understand? Or is there nothing to do and I have to reapply in another country?

Thank you for your answers 🙏

What do you fill in at "place of issue"? Most passports or maybe all of them are using the term "authority" for the issuing authority. My German passport lists the city and the mayor as the issuing authority. I googled other passports online, and many don't even list the city name, just the issuing authority. So what did you enter here? Just the country where the passport was issued, or did you copy exactly what's listed under "Authority" in your passport?

For the DTV visa extension can you show a foreigner bank account or does it have to be a thai bank account in Bangkok?

I’m in a desperate dilemma. Maybe I’ll be ok, but there’s potential of significant harm.

My trip to Thailand was cut short by progressive agitation of my lung injury, the final part due to vibrations of a bus. I’ve been recuperating in a great place in Ao Nang, where healing’s been steady but slow. It’s been 32 days and I’m still not safe for traveling.

My 60-day visa runs out March 16, and to extend I must go to an immigration office 30 minutes away. But car vibrations are bad for me. I could avoid that by sending them a Thai medical certification, but for that I’d need to go the local hospital – 7 minutes by car, not as bad. But there’s nothing doctors can do to confirm my condition; tests will show normal. All a Thai doctor can do is listen to my American doctor, who doesn’t know much though he’d probably write a letter. Without a letter, the Thai hospital won’t grant the certification (and might not even with a letter). I have until Monday (March 17) to get to this done.

The consequences of overstaying my visa are harsh. First, there are fees and bans; the latter would be terrible as I’m considering making Thailand a winter home. Far worse, if found, I’d probably face forced deportment, which could be a potential health catastrophe.

So my dilemma is I'm now forced to take serious risks with my health, likely to some level of injury degrading my quality of life temporarily, and possibly permanently and critically. Ironically, this might land me in the same predicament as earlier, needing more time to recover, but with no option to extend and having to leave the country, at greater risk.

I estimate I could probably make either trip (hospital or immigration office) without major problems. But it’s hard to say.

* One exchange with the US consulate sounds promising, but there's more to work out.

* I've heard of a visa agent, so you don't have to go in. Is this an option?

I welcome your ideas here. Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone, I’m have a hard time tracking down information on visa’s and my situation. I am disabled and I am from the USA. I would like to stay in Thailand possibly permanently but as of right now I’m either looking at an education visa or the DTV. The immigration office I went to wasn’t much help. I think the language barrier was a bit of a problem for us.

Any how I’m a bit concerned with take the education route because I have various learning disabilities and I’m concerned I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the learning. So I started looking in to DTV seeing I have a non taxable income. However it looks as though you have to be a content creator or have some type of job. I am an artist but I don’t really sell my art.

Is the DTV right for me even though I have an income but not working? I’m technically retired but I don’t fit the requirements for the retirement visa based solely on age. I’m 3 years short. Can anyone offer any guidance on this? Thank you in advance 😊🙏
