Technically they know you have a visa but it’s always best to show the pdf file. Many people have been given exempt stamps in error.

Check your stamp each entry.

If approved they will email you a pdf file. That is your visa. You don’t go to the embassy.

Print it out.

what crap are you spouting? There is no limit on the number of kids you can have.

There is a limit of one guardian visa per child.

perhaps. But you’ll get correct answers here. You might get incorrect ones too but you have to work out how to filter out who gives correct ones and who doesn’t.

We can all agree that this is the best channel for specific advice.

What? Where did you hear that? It can be done on a phone or tablet but probably way easier to apply on a computer.

Parts of the application will require multiple pages per section but only allow for one file upload. That requires a pdf app or website to combine pages and stuff.

Whatever method you use double/triple/quadruple check that every item on your passport matches the application data. Many times there’s an OCR error when it “scans” the passport and fills in wrong info like dates and stuff.

If so it will be an immediate rejection of the application. The system prompts you many times to check, but sometimes people don’t notice the small stuff that’s wrong and wham! That application is refused and they’ll need to apply and pay again.

Usually blue background photos are typically used for work permits.

I only know specifics for the Phuket office. They don’t care about background.

Way back when a photo was actually issued on a residence certificate they wouldn’t accept a blue background. Now that a photo is still required but not actually put on the certificate they don’t care.

Ok. A Non O visa is what you describe. It’s valid for one single entry and you’d get a stamp for 90 days. Get all your ducks in a row and you can apply for a yearly extension off of that.

A Non OA visa is valid for a year, on each entry you get stamped in for a year - it does require mandatory health insurance and a medical and police check and is only available from your home country or country of legal residence.

Not seen any posts at all from people with DTVs doing multiple entries having issues. A couple of people mentioned they got asked why they didn’t get the DTV from their home country but no denials of entry.

It’s a multiple entry visa valid for 5 years. It’s shouldn’t matter if you enter 20 times a year off of that.

For a marriage extension it’s irrelevant where the funds have come from, only that you have them 2 months prior to applying.
