Is a medical certificate sufficient for visa support in Thailand, or should I seek another hospital for the letter?

Shandy ********

Do you really need a letter of support? I suppose it depends on the embassy, but I just asked for a letter describing my medical issue and a treatment plan of at least several months. And i got approved.

What alternatives are there in Thailand for cultural classes besides Muay Thai?

Shandy ********

@Jim *******

Agreed. I don't see why language should be disqualified. Language is a part of culture, right? More applicants should try applying with language so we can reach a more definite answer on that.

Shandy ********

Too bad Thai culture has so little to offer. Not everyone fancies sweating over a boiling cauldron or full contact sports in humid climates. No Thai painting or Thai instrumental music for the aspiring dilettante?

Why was my visa application rejected in Cambodia despite following the correct procedures?

Shandy ********

Even though it was approved for some applications, maybe it has something to do with being advertised specifically for DTV applicants. There was a report from someone who was denied based on muay thai because the embassy had an issue with the course marketing itself as a guarantee for DTV approval.

What are the requirements for extending a visa in Thailand according to Immigration Division 1?

Shandy ********

sean jones Maybe your decades in Thailand have made you intolerant of criticism. Just confused by the inconsistency of having no requirements to re-enter for a five-year period (as it so far seems) and introducing unexpected requirements for extension at about six months after the visa was introduced.

Shandy ********

sean jones I wasn't responding to you but a visa has an expiration date upon which you'd re-qualify for a new visa with the same terms.

Shandy ********

The requirements suggest the visa is no longer valid if you do not comply with the document re-certification. I mean valid in the practical sense that it cannot be used. Yes, I know that the period of stay is 180 days because it says so on the entry stamp.

Shandy ********

Why make the visa for five years if you have to go through this every six months? Clearly, it's just a six-month visa which they called a five-year visa for no reason at all.

What documents are required to extend a DTV stay at the Samut Prakan Immigration Office in Thailand?

Shandy ********

They don't have access to your original applcation materials, do they? You won't be disqualified from an extension if you just change jobs, start a remote business, or choose another of the SP options, right? Or this is still unknown...

What should I expect from the DTV interview in Taipei for my move to Thailand?

Shandy ********

Did your work contract specify authorization for remote work specifically?
