Why is the Thai Embassy in The Hague so strict about residency requirements for the DTV visa application?

Shandy ********

BTW, how'd they know you had left the country? Did you volunteer that information, or did they get alerted somehow?

Shandy ********

Are you registered in the Netherlands? Bt law, NL requires all residents to be registered, so this would be the first step in providing proof of residency. If not an EU citizen, do you have a visa?

What is the best neighboring country for applying for a DTV visa from Thailand while undergoing medical treatment?

Shandy ********

@Luit ****************

Why are you assuming there are extra costs for staying in Thailand? Maybe it costs less.

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

Shandy ********

Taiwan, sorry for the late reply. This was before the evisa system was implemented. But my work situation might have been a factor in the approval too, so I wouldn't take my experience as a guarantee.

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.
