Hello! I'm trying to apply for a 180-day

extension on a DTV visa in Chiang Mai. Has anyone succeeded? Is it still difficult?

I started filling out the application for dtv and it says that my passport has to be ‘valid for at least six months from the date of visa application for single entry and one year for multiple entry’ but my passport expires in 8 months. I have already applied for another passport but it will take at least 2 months to get it. And I also need to be in Thailand for that 😥

Does anyone have experience with this? Can I still apply or it’s automatic rejection?

Has anyone in Bangkok with a DTV visa managed to get the Residence Certificate easily (for Thai driving license)? I’m currently in Bangkok on a DTV visa (arrived since a few days) and I’m planning to apply for a Thai driving license. From what I understand, the key document is the Residence Certificate issued by Immigration. Has anyone here (with a DTV visa) successfully obtained it in Bangkok? Thanks a lot in advance!

I have a Non O visa. Can you spread your 800,000 deposit between two different banks ie so 400k in each?

I am trying to transit from the deposit to monthly income method for my next extension but I would like a back up if this fails for any reason ... like the Wise/ Bangkok Bank change in foreign deposit reference!

Thanks so much

Is it common for those who are on a DTV soft power for Muay Thai to be asked for proof of doing Muay thai when returning back into Thailand after border runs or trips away?

Has anyone tried entering Thailand by land using the DTV visa? Is this method feasible? I'm about to reach six consecutive months of stay in Thailand and plan to do a visa run. I'm on the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), and my first entry at Suvarnabhumi Airport six months ago went very smoothly.

Okay I feel seriously overwhelmed trying to sort this all out. I have a family of 4 - myself I’m almost 50, wife is 37, kids are 15 and 18. I primarily make my income off of investing on the OTC and a very small trust check monthly as well. My trading account tends to have $100k or more liquid and $200-400k in play. We own a home in the US we plan to rent out while we aren’t there.

What is the best, simplest method to live in Thailand for 6-12 months at a time leaving to either another country or back to the US for a few weeks to a month or so annually?

My daughter being 18 would like to work there but my 15 year old will be continuing digital classes via a US school. I will continue to randomly swing trade while the wife will not work.

Best visa course of action with the process to get it done for a person who hates paperwork and really isn’t too great with crossing t’s and dotting i’s 😂

What’s the safest option when applying for a DTV by way of soft power? I don’t want to do Muay Thai but would love to learn Thai cooking. Is it still feasible to get the visa from a cooking course? And which courses are trustworthy? Thanks
