Question for filling up the form - For the Home address, should I write the address in the country where I originally from? Or the address where I’m currently at (e.g. temporary in Vietnam for applying the visa)?

Permanent address = original address from my home town or my Thailand address or Vietnam hotel address???

Current address = Vietnam hotel address ???

I saw that there is a multiple entry tourist visa but wasn't able to apply on the thai embassy in Washington any help would be appreciated. Thx.

Hi, I have most of my documents ready for submission, however need some guidance on the statement balance, it is more than 500K however my last bank statement was issued on the 13th and I am still awaiting confirmation from the gym for my course will this be accepted at the London office ? Or how else should I be going about this ? I am a bit worried! Thanks

Hi,

I am currently travelling SEA since March 2024 and have spent most of my time in Thailand. It must have been 8 Months in total already. Last time I entered Thailand via plane, I was pulled out at immigration and was questioned, why I want to enter Thailand again. I am currently in Laos and plan to stay for 30 days - I arrived 3 days ago and plan to go back to Thailand, before going back home to Germany. Now I am quite concerned that my entry will be denied.

What is my best bet? Would a tourist Visa help in this case? I already tried to apply, but I seem to need a permanent address in Laos?! Could someone please help me understand?

Any help is kindly appreciated

How do I get agent assistance for re-entry if I leave on my own and am staying in Laos for a week or two, before coming back? This would be my 2nd entry ever, after my first 60+30 exempt stamps. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I just had a Freind arrive in Bangkok with a tourist e visa to be denied entry as it was not recognised She is from Tanzania and I think scammed by an agent how do you check if the visa is real or not

Good morning to all in Thailand. I am inquiring about visa requirements: is a physical therapy clinic categorized under the medical section of the visa or are specific requirements necessary for that section of the visa?

DTV approved just now! Canberra, Australia Consulate.

Thank you to a few anonymous posters for their advice, I was considering just using an agent and doing the soft power route even though I am self employed - until reading their posts and I am very glad I did it myself! Super super easy. Had everything ready before I started (took me maybe an hour to prepare) and uploaded and submitted the application within 30 mins.

Type - Business Owner/director

Submitted: 12th Feb

Additional documents requested: 14th Feb they asked for proof of financials of the 500k thb, strangely I had already uploaded 2 different screenshots including a bank statement, but it seems they preferred a proof of balance letter from my bank which only showed the amount on that date, in AUD. I also showed well over the 500k minimum on all 3 screenshots.

Approved: 19th Feb at 5pm

Proof of location: Australian drivers license

Paperwork: Cover letter + employment contract from me to myself, signed only by me, proof of balance letter from bank, THB to AUD conversion rate screenshot, ASIC business extract

Flight number: Flight number into bkk in 2 weeks, no exit flight

Let me share a strange case !

I applied for DTV at Vientiane Embassy and got approved today, but the visa type issued is 'Tourist TR' with multiple entry instead of DTV. I applied for DTV and also paid the visa fees set for DTV.

Do embassies have the rights to give out whatever type of visa they want to without my consent?

Have anyone experienced a similar case? Please share your knowledge on that case if u have any, and kindly leave suggestions for me.

Sharing my DTV approval for HCMC soft power cooking.

Fri Jan 31.

Applied with passport pic, copy of passport biometric page, cooking documents provided by Bangkok Thai Cooking Academy, entry stamp into HCMC, VN hotel booking and 3 months of bank statement over 500k.

Feb 5.

Further documentations requested. They wanted 6 months of bank statements, employment certificate and income proof.

On the application I wrote that I was unemployed, as I quit my job recently. I gave them my tax return, a couple of pay slips and an end of service letter that my HR provided me when I left. I wrote a short letter explaining I currently do not have a job as I moved to Thailand recently and taking a career break (I have been living here for a month on a tourist exempt visa).

Feb 10.

Further documentations requested. They wanted more information on the school.

I emailed the school who helped me with some pictures. I took screenshots of their website and resubmitted all documentations that I had already given them (receipt, cooking timetable, acceptance letter, business registration, director ID).

Feb 17.

Approved.

Flew back to Thailand today with a print out of my dtv into Bangkok. No issues.

I did extensive research in this group before my application so I was quite surprised being asked for extra documents twice. I think the HCMC embassy is starting to get more critical on soft power and the process took 2 weeks for me because I had to supply more documents.

The Bangkok Cooking Academy was very helpful with my application, I recommend them.
