Hey there dear ones,

I like to do my DTV Visa 5 years medical treatment, has anyone done it before and has experience with it? Have some questions about this and would be very happy if we could exchange them.

Greetings with all my love,

Lucky

Common Question:

How long do you have to enter the Kingdom after your DTV is approved?

This is directly from the official site.  I’ve seen many people misinformed others by stating they have five years to enter for the first time. You have 90 days.

Any other business owners and DTV holders with Australian passport? 21 and plan to live in Thailand until my company reaches usd25k a month. I am An individual carrying on a business in their own capacity and dont have anything registered with my government.

- Is registring as a sole trader and getting ABN enough for proof of business?

-Ill also send emails and letters confirming myself as working there for the length of my visa, proof of current Australian clietns and will not take on any Thai clients. —Ive got financial proof of funds. Valid passport, photos, application, app fees not a problem, also an address both Aus and Thailand.

If im missing out on anything let me know

Hey Everyone,

I applied for DTV a few weeks ago (Thai Embassy Munich) and haven’t received it yet.

I am arriving in Thailand tomorrow!

Which is not a problem for now, since I am just staying for 70 Days and can just use tourist visa + go to immigration for extension after 60 days

(Or maybe get an agency, who does this for me?)

BUT do you know if my DTV application is terminated, when I travel to Thailand without it? Because in the application they asked for my flight and day of arrival😬

That would be very sad to just spend the money for nothing

Thanks for your help!

Hi guys, I just got my non-o 3 month visa application approved this morning in Laos. It took less than 4 business days. And they accepted a letter certifying my retirement income from my pension fund, as the canadian embassy does no longer produces income certificates. I also had documents showing I had more than 800 000 thb in a bank account in Canada but I didn't need to show it. So it was easier than expected. Thanks to all of you who gave me sound advices.

Has anyone used Instarem as a means of transferring funds into Thailand. It appears that they have a better exchange rate than Wise but would like to hear if anyone has experienced any problems or a good experience with this company

Just returned to Phuket airport after 1 week holiday to Japan on DTV visa…(UK citizen)

It’s about my 5th re entry

The only thing which changed this time, is that they asked to see the actual Visa on my phone with QR code

No asking of funds or anything like that or more questions this time….
