Singaporean On a Non-O Extension (Spouse) Applying for DTV in Jakarta - Approved in 5 days

Paying forward for all the info this group has provided and hoping this helps other Sgers/Non-O visa switchers applying in JKT:

I landed in Jakarta on the 12th, submitted my pre-uploaded application as I waited for my taxi to arrive at CGK, and was approved 17th Jan. In total I uploaded over 150 compressed pages of documentation, and 2 days after I applied, all they asked me for was a high-resolution passport photo.

Applied as a freelance writer and owner of my own registered publishing business in Singapore and submitted my ACRA business registration.

Wrote myself a letter certifying myself as my own employee and giving myself permission to work from Thailand for projects paid from Singapore. Also used an employment contract I usually give my staff writers and gave myself 🤣 a contract signed by me as the business Director. In my contract, I wrote that I was both a freelancer and a business owner, so I allowed myself to be paid by clients into my personal bank account rather than my company/corporate bank account. Included Singapore taxes filed for at least 5 years.

Showed 3 main corporate client retainer contracts for >US$150k each/year covering the period from 2025-2028, and client payment slips for each month and amount.

Included 1 year of bank statements with monthly ending balance of anywhere from SG$10 to SG$850,000. Highlighted all dates and amounts showing when and how much my clients paid me, and these were hyperlinked in the PDF to the relevant client contracts and payment e-slips (I submitted 1 year's worth from the 3 clients).

Screenshot of bank statements on the date of application of >500K THB ending balance, which I’ve had in my personal account for just over 1 month, and also showed the SGD>THB exchange rate then.

Portfolio of the articles I have written and links to them online. I only submitted 5 pages of this as I figured they were more concerned about my financial stability than my work product.

Indonesian visa entry doc as I entered using the autogates had no stamp.

Scans of every page in my passport with stamps as I was on a non-O extension and had those stamps.

Lease agreement for my villa which I’ve lived in since 2017 and have a 10 year lease for.

Thanks to the moderators for this group and everyone for their input, now just need to figure out the easiest embassy to get my spouse switched over from a retirement visa to my DTV!

Not going to name anyone but out of curiosity I asked agent for a quote for DTV. Crazy prices.

Do it yourself - it is not that hard. Ask for advice on here - it is free

Good day, want to apply for the DTV from South Africa... what fees will be payable? Apart from the proof of 500k baht in bank account, please

And then, can all be done via e-visa website?

Thai Visa advice in Paris have spoken to a Thai official, who has confirmed to them, that the fee for a DTV renewal after 180 days is 1900 baht. Just FYI.

I have one question about entry fee on DTV visa type.

- DTV visa issue : approx 10,000 THB

- Entry fee : 1,900 THB, 180 days expire

After I have a DTV visa on hand, if I go out of Thailand for 5 times on September, that means I have to pay 1,900 THB x 5 tims on a month ?

Question that I'm unclear about for the DTV.

If I'm applying for it under my online business, and want to bring my family with me, (husband and two kids) do we have to pay the application fee 4 times or is it all under 1 application? Alternatively, do we all need to have our own 500k baht, or can it be the same bank account for everyone? Thanks in advance!

Hoping someone can help me out.

I'm trying to find the cost to apply for the ED visa online in Australia? I'm aware of thai school fees and visa extensions once I'm there but just can't seem to find any info on how much to actually apply for the visa through the new online system.

Thanks in advance

Hello Thai visa advisors,

My UK colleague is coming to oversee business for 5 months with non-b 1 year multiple entries, leaving every 90 days.

1/ when she comes back to thailand to gain another 90 days, is there any fees to pay?

2/ she wants to travel with her child 1 y.o., can her child apply for non-o using the same business invitation letter? or there other type of visa for this case to look into?

3/ if the child get TR 60 days multiple entries, later get extension 30 days, leaving 90 days, will the child get 60 days when coming back to thailand on arrival? Is there any fees to pay to get these 60 days?

4/ how many times in one year calendar can you extend +30 days at immigration bureau in thailand?

Thank you very much in advance.

Retirement visa - agents - price?

If the AGENT handles the financial requirement, what’s the typical fee all in?

INCLUDING the initial 3 month extension, then the 12 month, and is the opening of a bank account usually included in the fee?

Any recommendations for agents from anyone who has done this RECENTLY? (last 12 months)

Please quote their fee and what is or isn’t included) 🙏🏼

and does it matter if the applicant isn’t in the same region of Thailand as the agent? (and neither is the bank branch?)

Just requesting comments about the fees please, not opinions on the use of agents or anything else you fancy ranting about 😌

Hi guys, how much money are we supposed to pay to extend for Covid visa extension? Someone asked me to prepare 5000 bahts for my extension tommorow. I am teacher waiting for my work permit so i can apply for my work visa. I have to extend my covid visa one more time. I paid 1900 bahts for my covid visa in March in Chaiyaphum, now i have to extend in Angthong.
