Planning and compliance
Bangkok office support
We help Far East Russian clients with DTV, marriage, and Elite applications from Bangkok while you remain abroad.
Verify before you travel
Rules change independently of blog posts and forum threads. Confirm current requirements on thaievisa.go.th, vladivostok.thaiembassy.org, and tdac.immigration.go.th within two weeks of departure.
Document order matters
Embassy affidavits, certified translations, and MFA legalisation must often be completed in sequence. Starting with the wrong step adds weeks to marriage registration and visa extension timelines.
Compliance after approval
Long-stay categories require TM30 landlord notification, 90-day reporting while in country, and re-entry permits before travel on single-entry extensions. Missing one obligation can block the next extension.
Common mistakes
These errors show up repeatedly in our Bangkok consultations. Most are avoidable with a fresh checklist and official sources.
- Selecting Vladivostok when legal residence is in Moscow or St Petersburg districts
- Paying for tourist TR when your passport qualifies for visa-free entry
- Assuming walk-in hours apply when standard categories use thaievisa.go.th only
- Travelling before e-Visa approval or without a printed confirmation for airline checks
