That sounds horrific! I hope your next entry is super extra smooth 🍀

For the first extension you only need 1 month of > 500k in account. For the second one you need 3 months - as change of school means new extension we may have to show 3 months of > 500k, which practically is not possible

as we just arrived to Thailand 3 months ago we can’t show 3 months > 500k bank books, do you know if Thai immigration is “flexible” on this? Practically, it’s not possible to show it with our short period of stay.. will go to immigration tomorrow morning to check all the details as well.

thanks

our last day of school would be this Friday, we are basically without visa after that, right? 😱

@John *********

thanks, I was worrying it would be like that. It’s the same immigration office. Will get ready for another paper war 🙄💪🏼

Thanks. Waiting for info from the new school regarding documents, that’s why I asked if anyone with similar experience would be able to tell me if we need to get the full set of docs (with notarized birth certificate, bank statements, photos in front of house etc etc) again. If so, I’d run to consulate asap cause all of these things need time (that we don’t have).

we are on non immigrant ED (the kids) and non immigrant O guardian (the parents) visa. Initially it was valid for 90 days, we just got the prolongation (visa now valid til march 27) in February. The school our kids are enrolled now state they will cancel our visa (all of them) and the new school state they will transfer our visa to their school. I wonder which documents are needed and which timeframe we have in between visa (we’re Germans, not planning to leave Thailand for visa application). Term for old school ends this week so it’s short notice, but we think it’s best for all of us. ☺️🙏🏼

I asked this question to Thai embassy in berlin - if you’re under DTV for soft power you are not allowed to work remotely. It’s solely workation category if you work remotely, under soft power you’re not supposed to work. That’s the theory ☺️

I guess you can. But in theory.. Thai embassy in Berlin stressed that you need Dtv workcation visa in case you want to work remotely.. even if you follow soft power activities as well. Seems like they want to know whether remote work is done. 🤷🏼‍♀️
