So i am a little confused when applying for the non o visa on the thai e visa website, some have said that you do not need the health insurance for the non o (90 days) but when you pick the sub category (1 year extention ) retirement you need it . I thought you can go into thailand on the non o and do everything there within 90 days to get your non oa . So the wyestion is do i need the health insurance when applying for the 90 days non o or not.

Any1 know the current Retir. O/A health insurance coverages needed?

Good afternoon everyone! I need help filling out the TDAC form. Under the flight details heading, do I need to include any stopovers or just the departure and arrival dates? Thank you for your help. Have a nice day.

Hey!

Does anyone know how I upload more requested documents?

There’s no where for me to click and upload them?

leaving after 3 weeks here with DTV for a short biz trip to Singapore for a few days, then coming back. i remember reading that i'd have to do report in person for the first time i leave the country with the DTV. is that true?

Do you think with the mourning of the Queen Mother, it might slow up the DTV visa application?

Which bank/s in Thailand would you recommend? I’m also open to using overseas banks like UOB and also privilege banking.

Asking for a friend . If you are on a Non -OA visa and do the extension by moving the 800,000 into a Thai bank , does the visa status change to a Non -O ? This based on retirement. Thank you

DTV - rejected 1st time under workaction in Hanoi, approved 2nd time under soft power in Vientiane

This group has been super useful as we were preparing for our application for the DTV, hence wanted to share our experience here alongside some tips that might be useful for others going through it. It has been an intense journey for us - it took us 4 weeks, 2 countries & lots of patience :D

Below you'll see the details + tips of the process. Turned out that Hanoi workaction route was not easy for us, even though we provided everything correctly we still got rejected without any reason why.

If you have any questions about any of the below, let me know, happy to help!

---

-30th September left to Vietnam

-2nd October non B visa expired

-8th October further documents requested (further invoices & proof of income from company)

-9th October further documents requested (previous visa)

-10th October further documents requested (asked for work permit & business license in Thailand, submitted cancelled documents for both from our lawyer)

-10th of October few hours later REJECTED "unsuitable for DTV, please apply for non V visa & work permit, which doesn't make sense at all if proper look would have been given to our documents)

-11th October went to embassy - no help/support at all at the little window there, told us to send an email, which we did, but never got a reply

-11th October reached out ot Siam Legal for advice & support; they confirmed that our documents submitted for application make total sense & they don't understand why it was rejected; advised us to fly to Laos & apply there again (can highly recommend them!)

-12th October flew to Vientiane Laos

-14th October submitted all documents for soft power Muay Thai route via agency

-15th October went to the embassy to pay the visa fee of 10,000TBH. NOTE: we went to 10 different banks, non of which could exchange US or KIP to TBH. Best, do it at the airport.

-19th October received email for scheduled interview for the 28th of October

-28th October 10min interview at the embassy (what's your plan in Thailand, why Muay Thai, which Muay Thai school, show me payment for it in your bank account, how do you make income, show bank statement)

-28th October 4 hours later - DTV approved

Is it worth applying for the DTV via an agent
