If I apply for DTV in let’s say Vietnam, but decide to come back to Thailand before it gets approved, will it still go through?

Or do I need to wait in Vietnam until it gets approved?

Hey everyone please. 🥹

I will apply DTV visa January 30 from Hanoi, Vietnam.

So, Here’s what I have.

Remote contract

Recommendation letter

Company Registration ( Dica )

Company license EC

Employee Contract 2 years

Labor card from government

6months Thailand house rental contract

Cover letter

Graphic Designer Portfolio, LinkedIn and other.

Bank Book

Bank statement 500000baht

6 months Payslip

Hotel booking

Flight booking

Vietnam immigration pages

So, is it enough? Can I get DTV visa? What else I need? I heard so many news about visa reject in Vietnam 🥲 that’s why I’m worrying a lot.

Is a Non Immigrant O-A 1 year visa a multi entry or single entry visa?

I am over 50 from the United States.

Ideally I would like to be able to make multiple 60 to 120 day visits to see my Thai wife while we wait for the American government to grant her a visa to travel to America.

Further to my previous post can someone let me know my next step to apply for a Non Immigrant O visa for retirement. I have just re entered Thailand on a 30 day visa exempt and after 2 visits to immigration in Chiang Mai I haven't progressed any further. First time given forms which included TM47 to fill out. I don't believe this is correct as one of the questions relates to living in Thailand for 90 days or more. Second visit I was told I needed to leave the country for which I replied I have just returned for the purpose of this Visa. This advise was given by the volunteers at Immigration which I believe is incorrect. Can someone guide me on my next step please. Previously on an OA and now wishing to change to O for retirement.

Good day. I have a daughter who's having NON O visa under me. I have non B in my current school but I'm planning to work in a new school. Her visa is from April to July only and hopefully I can start working in my new school by June. What will happen to her visa? Should I renew it for 1 year first before I move to my new school?

Your responses would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hey guys, quick question. US citizen. In the long run I’m going for a 1-year Non-OA which I understand requires certain deposits (400k/800k depending on some parameters) but for “first” entry in July, I can get a letter invite for Non-imm b ‘3-months’ or I guess do a tourist visa from USA. Which visa options will allow me to stay the longest time period, including available extensions, before I need to commit to a Non-imm OA? I’m quoted about 20k baht for the non-imm B letter, fine, but wondering if you guys in the know have other options?
