My friend hung out in Laos for his dependent visa. Took a week. Spouse came but it wasn’t asked if they were in or out.

I don’t know. Ai says

The message clarifies that for your Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) application, proof of confirmation from a school or institution must include the following specific documents:

1. Company Registration vs. DBD (Department of Business Development Registration):

The DBD certificate is a document issued by the Thai Department of Business Development. It officially certifies that the business (e.g., your school or training institution) is registered and recognized in Thailand.

The Company Registration document typically refers to a more detailed proof of the company’s legal status, such as a formal Certificate of Incorporation, which includes the legal name, registration number, and details of establishment.

2. What This Means for You:

You already have the DBD certificate from the school, which satisfies that specific requirement.

The Company Registration they are asking for could mean:

A formal Certificate of Incorporation of the school, OR

An official business registration document showing the company’s name, address, and registration details.

3. Tips for Resolving the Issue:

Speak with the school again, explaining the specific name and dual requirements (Company Registration + DBD). They might already have the Certificate of Incorporation or equivalent company registration documents.

Ensure the document has the company’s official letterhead, stamp, and necessary proof of registration.

4. Other Documents Mentioned in the Message:

Ensure you also provide these, as listed in the screenshot:

ID card of BOD (Board of Directors): Likely refers to proof of identity for one of the directors of the institution.

Training timetable: A schedule of the course/activity you are participating in.

Invoice payment receipt: Proof that you’ve paid for the course or activity.

By gathering these additional materials as requested, your application should proceed smoothly. If there’s confusion, contact the embassy/consulate or a visa consultant for direct clarification and support.

you can get assistance with dtv. Check Siam Legal - #1 agent in Thailand. They did ours.

When they ask how long you’re staying don’t say months. It’s when people look like they moved in that seem to get bothered. Even if you did move in. I’d always say “a few weeks”

You need $ in bank approx too. But yes that should work.

Awesome!!!!

I was told by lawyer consultant to apply via Cambodia or Laos. I hope that doesn’t cause me 5 years of issues.
