You’ll likely just pay the late 90-day report fine (usually 2,000 THB max). It’s not overstay — it’s just late reporting.

Since you were hospitalized, bring:

• Hospital letter or medical certificate

• Discharge papers

• Passport + TM6 (if you have one)

• Previous 90-day slip (if available)

They normally just process it, collect the fine, and give you a new 90-day date. A late report alone doesn’t cancel your visa.

Yes, you can own shares in a Thai company while on a DTV.

But DTV does not give you the right to work in Thailand. If you purchase an existing Thai business and want to actively manage or work in it, you would need the proper visa and work permit (usually a Non-B + work permit).

Also remember Thai company ownership rules (foreign shareholding limits) still apply.

They usually don’t just cancel an application for something like that. If anything is missing, the embassy normally sends a request for additional documents so you can upload it.

It’s very common for them to ask for extra pages (visa stamps, entry stamps, etc.) after submission. Just keep an eye on the application portal and your email and respond quickly if they request it.

For now, there’s nothing you can do except wait — but this kind of oversight alone doesn’t usually lead to automatic rejection.

Most people cannot change a dependent DTV to a Non-Immigrant ED inside Thailand — immigration usually does not allow switching categories that way. If the school requires an ED visa, you normally need to exit Thailand and apply at a Thai embassy/consulate abroad for the Non-Immigrant ED before returning.

People who have done this report that the ED application abroad is treated like a fresh visa application, and processing time varies by consulate (often a few days to a couple of weeks). There isn’t a well-known case of successful in-country conversion from dependent DTV to ED.

Timing is important.

When you resign, your Non-B and work permit will be canceled, and you’ll usually get a short extension (often 7 days) to leave Thailand. You cannot switch directly to DTV inside Thailand. You must apply from outside Thailand.

To reduce risk of rejection:

• Make sure you fully meet DTV requirements (financial proof + proper workcation/soft power documents).

• Apply only after your Non-B is properly canceled (no overstay).

• Don’t resign until you’re confident your DTV documents are solid.

If you have a car and belongings, you can leave them in Thailand — just make sure your visa status stays legal and you exit properly before applying.

If they didn’t issue you a fine and didn’t stamp anything negative in your passport, then there’s usually no ongoing issue.

A 90-day report is separate from your visa validity. If you left Thailand after that and there was no overstay recorded, you should be fine.

When you re-enter on a valid DTV, immigration normally just processes you as usual. Entry is always at officer discretion, but a late 90-day report on its own doesn’t normally cause problems later.

DTV approval isn’t automatic even if you have the funds and a support letter. Embassies assess the full application, including whether the activity clearly fits the Soft Power criteria and whether the documents meet their specific standards.

A rejection doesn’t mean it’s a scam — it usually means something didn’t meet their requirements or needed stronger documentation. You can request clarification from the embassy and reapply once you address the reason they gave.

Apply from outside Thailand and the requirements are the standard ones: passport, completed application, financial proof (around 500,000 THB equivalent), and supporting documents for either workcation or soft power. Processing time depends on the consulate — usually anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Just make sure your documents are clear, consistent, and match your declared location when applying.

You apply based on where you are physically located at the time of application, not where you used to live.

If you apply from Vietnam, you use your Vietnam hotel address as your current address. Yes, you normally select that your permanent address is the same if you no longer have one in Germany.

For proof, they typically want:

• Passport entry stamp into Vietnam

• Hotel booking/confirmation showing your name and dates

Photos aren’t required. Just make sure your declared location and your proof of stay match.

Yes, you can do a same-day border run. There’s no rule that you must stay outside for a certain number of days. Just make sure your DTV is still valid and you re-enter before it expires. Entry is always at immigration’s discretion, but same-day runs are commonly done.
