I got my DTV visa six months ago and am about to do my first 180-day re-entry.
While in Thailand, I obtained a new passport and had my visa transferred to it. However, the visa stamp in my new passport only shows validity for six months, with no mention of the full five years.
My E-Visa states it expires in 2029, but it’s still linked to my old passport number. I’m concerned this might cause issues at immigration when re-entering Bangkok.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone done this in Hanoi / Ho Chi Minh and was successful in the application?
Accommodation:
Did you put where you stayed in Vietnam for the first address and your home country address after? (Was told you can’t use a Thai address?)
- can you stay in a HOSTEL? Or does it need to be an air b&b or hotel room via booking or Agoda?
- for Vietnam address: - what info do you need to provide besides:
- the booking confirmation for the 2 weeks you stay in Vietnam, receipt of payment (can that be what you paid online shown on your confirmation page?), pic of entry stamp, pic of you in front of your accommodation?
Employment details:
- everyone seems to say issues if you don’t say unemployed.
- if some money has come into your bank statement only for one month (Nov-Dec statement) via PayPal; can I still say unemployed /no salary since the rest of the 6m including the most recent statement shows basically nothing?
(And yes, I have enough in my account for the 500,000 and ok on that front.)
Hi everyone! I’m on a Non O (married to Thai) visa with the annual extension ending in June. Unfortunately I’m going through a divorce (common farang/thai situation 😒) and will change to the DTV next month.
QUESTION please: Do I need to cancel my Non O visa before leaving the Thailand to apply for the DTV? Or are there any other steps I need to do please?
I was hoping to have the DTV visa lined up before the divorce is final since I have made Thailand my home and plan to return.
Hi, has anyone applied for DTV in Laos during these days and got approved? Is there an interview? May I know the process and what do they ask during the interview? I'm planning to next week for the visa run and some said Laos is difficult to apply without the agent. Thank you in advance.
I got non b visa from Malaysia, entered thailand with 90 days. After so many lies i decided to leave and look for another job. Can my employer cancel my visa or can I use it until the end?
Hi All, do you any experience or suggestions about the impact of application of work visa ( one year) in another country while I am holding a DRV visa in Thailand? I am afraid it will impact on validity of my DTV visa in Thailand. Thanks, guys!
Are those who get the DTV as a dependent allowed to work remotely just like the person who got a DTV for a workation and does the person who already got their DTV have to prove they can financially support the dependent?
Applied online from Australia well over a 12 days ago.
Keep getting questions about providing my portfolio. I finally got frustrated and called the Thai embassy for answers. They stated that my business " didnt look legitimate", even thought its been operating for 4 years. They want a detailed breakdown of work I do as well as invoices to clients.
My website is fine... I dont understand what is going on here.
Edit - after submitting the documents they ask for, I received email that you DTv Reject.
Hi , I applied DTV at Ho Chi Minh on 24 Nov, ( remote worker) on 27 Nov they requested tax returns, I submitted it. Yesterday I got rejected. Any suggestion please .
