Do I remember reading that if you get health insurance once in the visa process that you are stuck with it and can’t get rid of it?

I am here on 60 day bisa exempt. I want to get a non-O immigrant visa and end up with a retirement visa. First I need to get a bank account and one bank is saying they will give it to me if I buy a ฿5000 health insurance policy. If I get that policy, is it going to cause a problem for me down the road? (I do NOT want Non-OA)

Hi guys…just want to confirm, now all visas be it tourist/business/study/non-o etc, are all e-visa??

We dont have to go to the Embassies to bring passport or any documents or pick up the visa when approve???? 😳

DTV Approved in Hanoi in 5 days. 🎉🇹🇭

- We Submitted Sunday 9th February 7pm.

- Tuesday 11th February changed to Pending Approval.

-Friday 14th February 6pm. My visa Approved.

- Saturday 15th February 6pm. - My partner was approved (Who knew the embassy worked weekends 🤔)

We submitted a 'super pack' that had all the requested documents but I also searched this group for any additional documents others had been asked for and simply included it all in the supporting documents area.

30+pages in total all as one single PDF with a Table of Contents Page indicating where each document was located. We used the website ilovepdf to merge the docs together.

Proof of funds:

6 months bank statements and 6 months corresponding payslips.

We both had the full amount in account for 6 months although I don't believe this is a requirement. I imagine they want to see that the amount is on account when you apply and will remain there. So the longer it's been there the better.

Supporting docs included were:

1. Cover letter (why I want to be in Thailand and why they should give me a visa - if you're stuck for ideas ask everybody's favourite AI agent to write it for you)

2. Letter from employer explicitly stating that I can work remotely and the company doesn't trade in Thailand

3. Employment contract

4. Proof of company registration from HMRC in the UK

5. Resume/CV

6. University Degree

7. Screenshot of my linkedin

8. Screenshot of company website

If I can offer you any advice at all,

1. less is NOT more in this instance. Add as much information up front as possible to save yourself the hassle of having to send in more documents or having an interview.

2. Make your application look professional. The table of contents with page number headings may not have made any difference at all, or it may have made all the difference. It only took me an additional 30minutes to do so was well worth it.

That's it. Good luck

Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😅

Hello everyone, I am Chinese and currently working in the Philippines, where can I submit my DTV application? I really appreciate any useful advice and experience.

Update on DTV application online through Sydney Embassy. I applied using soft power with this course [members only]/ For proof of address I gave my drivers licence and a phone bill. Four months of bank statements. Did not need to show proof of flight and accom. Processing time was 14 days, approval email came through on a Saturday. Paid with a Thai credit card, as my Australian credit card rejected the transaction due to fraud monitoring.

Got my DTV visa (Freelancer) from Mauritius after 8 days

DTV approved in Dubai, applied the 19th and approved today Jan 30

So happy

What would be the appropriate cost from an agent to:

1. Open a bank account

2. Assist in getting a retirement visa

An idea of how long this takes would be great

Much appreciated
