Has anyone dealt with the issue of their city not being listed in the drop down menu of the city options for permanent address within the DTV online application process? Aside from writing a cover letter, I'm not sure what else I can do and am concerned of a potential rejection for that reason. I will be applying online via Jakarta.
I have spent the last 6 months travelling around Thailand on 2 x 60 days visa exempt and 2 x 30 day extensions. I'm now planning to leave Thailand to apply for the DTV from a third country.
I usually work online but have NOT been doing so from Thailand as that's obviously against the rules and I was taking a break.
My question is, will the 6 months I've spent here make it more likely my DTV application be denied? Will the embassy assume I have been living/working here on a tourist visa? Has anyone had any problems like this?
I have the funds needed, is this sufficient to be accepted?
Hi all , I have submitted my 90 days report via online on Dec12 (not first time) , But right now the status is still pending. I must be waiting for approve or go to immigration?
I have seen a post that someone with METV didn't get granted DTV. I'm on multiple entry ED visa rn but I'm now in combodia waiting for DTV result tomorrow. I'm just worried although I have a Cancellation Letter from university. What do you guys think? 🫠
Hi friends! So stoked to have the DTV visa! Question for the group: I arrived the other day and this is what my stamp looks like. I understand the rule about leaving every 180 days, I was just surprised this was the format for the stamp. I asked the officer if it was good for five years, and he said yes, and he had given me the first 180 days. Yet, I’ve seen other people with a full page sticker visa that says 5 years. Am I cool? Do others have this same stamp? Or should I be concerned? Thanks for your thoughts!
I’m currently in Canada and need to renew my Thai drivers license to get credit for my driving history when applying for a new Canadian driver’s license. Anyone know of a way to do that without being in Thailand?
