I have a guest coming to visit me. I rent a house. What docs do I need to provide my friend for passport control?

He is flying in from the USA and will enter via passport waiver.

Thanks

Do you need to have 500,000 baht in your bank account for 3-6 months or just is it just the final balance that needs to be 500,000?

I just did my 90 day report in person. It was an all day thing and very complicated especially since I had my passport renewed. I asked if we could do the 90 day report online from now on and they said no. Is this correct ?

Earliest date to apply for DTV visa?

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know what the earliest date is that you can apply for a DTV visa? I’ve been trying to find a clear answer online but there doesn’t seem to be any concrete information anywhere.

It seems like the tourist visa can be applied for up to 3 months before your intended arrival, but I’m not sure if the same rule applies to the DTV visa.

Has anyone here already applied or been approved who can confirm?

Thank you

Hi all.

If I get my DTV, do you have to put the date of first entry in? Or can you just come whenever?

Also, if I stay for example two weeks, is it fine if I then leave for six months and then come back?

Thanks

Hey , so im coming to Thailand December 10th for 30 days

When I return in January, im intending to apply for my DTV visa

My question is , will it be ok as I will still be on a 60 day visa (from the December one) or as I leave it will be closed off

Just dont want to apply if its still running ?

Hope this makes sense

Cheers 🍻

Asking for a family member. A 74 year old Swiss citizen wants to retire in Thailand. Regarding health insurance, is it mandatory under Thai law (like in Switzerland) or not? Given her age, can she have health insurance at all? Also, which visa is best in her case? Thanks

I would just like to enquire if any of our members are on on DTV 5year multiple entry Medical Tourist Visa. One of the requirements is a letter of invitation from a hospital in Thailand. I am looking at setting up in Jomtien area or south of their. I am a diabetic. Can you recommend a world class hospital possibly that has a section suited for diabetic care that I can inspect and ask for a letter?You not require medical insurance, but as a safety net I would like to be covered for incidents like road accidents , Physio, Choiro.I am assuming medical insurance may be difficult to get if you have a pre-existing condition like diabetes. I am reaching out as a diabetic as I monitor my HB1AC every 3 months, yearly ophthalmologist checks, podiatry checks, exercise programs, etc. I realise the Hospitals are all world class in Thailand, but I am looking at Specific diabetic treatment from members who suffer from this chronic disease. If you use annother facility , not in the Jomtien area of Thailand please share or PM me direct.If you could share a name of medical insurer that has the best benefits for Diabetes would be appreciated as well as a hospital clinic would be appreciated. I believe you need less money in the Thai Bank Account which means the rest of the money can be earning interest from the country come from. Please PM if you are on a Medical Tourist Visa.

Applying in Hanoi (soft power):

If I arrive in Hanoi on the October 26th (Sunday), can I apply on that day or would I wait until Monday to submit the paperwork?

Does it matter that my booking reservation would show that I just arrived, and that I only have the reservation for 2 weeks?

Or do they not really scrutinize that part of the application?

Thanks in advance!
