Seems that Thailand is a stable as ever.

Can a retired parent be a sponsor for an adult child? I am 42 and my dad would be willing to sponsor me and my teen son for this. I work online but also we would be happy to try via soft power for Muay Thai

Would appreciate any updates for DTV Soft power medical visa upon the 180 days experience .

Any problems like proof of further treatment ?

Also any recent experiences of applying for soft power medical visa

AteVChiang Mai border run to Chiang Khong/Huayxai completer. We found a private car service for about half the price of the organized Van trip. That way we could stop for snack and smoke breaks on the way. Fast exit and entry into Laos. We had Lao e-visas but still had to fill out an arrival and departure card. We waited about 20 minutes for the bus across the friendship bridge, ฿25 a person entering into Laos was smooth, but there was another ฿20 charge after we cleared immigration. We turned right back around and went back in. The Lao immigration person was very friendly, asked several times if we were sure we didn’t have to stay two days. We assured her that was not the case, hoping we were right, as we had been informed in this forum. It was a short wait for the bus back across the friendship, bridge, and our entry into Thailand was smooth and easy. The Thai immigration officer took our DTV’s, asked us where we lived, which was Chiang Mai, and stamped us back in through January 8, 2026. We had filled out the TDAC online and were prepared with the digital downloads I saved to my phone. However, just like the last time we came in at Chiang Mai airport, we were never asked for it. I imagine they just looked it up on the computer and saw that we had it, but no one ever mentioned it. thanks for all your help. 

Has anyone successfully applied for a DTV (Digital Nomad) Visa by showing proof of funds in their bank account *while* having a new remote job?**

Here’s my situation:

1. I was on sabbatical in Southeast Asia.

2. Returned to my home country and secured a remote job.

3. Now I want to reapply for the DTV (or similar visa) for more stability abroad.

Has anyone made this work? Would love advice or tips!"

I’m new to the Thai visa process and recently applied for the Non-OA visa. While rereading the requirements for the LTR Visa: Wealthy Pensioners, I noticed that I may qualify. Is it possible and advisable to apply for multiple visas? The LTR visa is processed through Bangkok instead of the Thai embassy in the US, which is my case. Can I apply for the LTR Visa while residing in Thailand, or should I apply before leaving the US? It seems that either way is possible.

Is there any harm in applying, even if things don’t work out?

Ok- I have a question for all my Wise Banking American ex-Pats:

When I'm moving money from my Wells Fargo to wise and then Wise to a Thai bank account should I exchange the funds to Baht and then deposit them s Baht to the Thai bank account?

Does that make sense? Or just do a USD dorectly into my Thai bank account?

Which one will give me better rate?
