Hi. I am 20 days in on a 90 day non-O retirement visa. When I apply for the year extension, I understand I will want to update my bank passbook the same day. Right now it only has the stamp for opening the account. My required balance transfer will be complete in a few days. Should I get the passbook updated on that day or soon after as well? Is there a best way to have the passbook presentable when doing the extension application?.thanks

Hi, everyone. I am currently in the process of moving to Thailand but don't want to deal with the 60 days per entry. I am looking at the Destination Thai Visa but am confused with the rules to qualify. I am currently in between jobs. Will I qualify for a DTV visa if I show a $14K bank balance and no employment contract? Thank you. 🙌

I'm traveling to Thailand for 89 days arriving 4 October.

Aged 75 with pre-existing medical conditions: diabetes type 2 and peripheral neuropathy. Fully understood that these conditions would be excluded. Just need cover for accident and emergencies.

Axa Sawadee have turned down my online application due to these pre-existing medical conditions. I have emailed them about this and waiting for a response.

Any suggestions? Have previously contacted some specialists but all say too old to quote.

I’m returning to Chiang Mai on Friday at 18.00 with Thai wife after 2 week vacation in Vietnam.

(Yes, I know, I picked a good time)!

This is the first time I’ve been out of Thailand since before Covid,

Going straight back to her house. I’ve been registered there for years. I know I have to do a new TM30, but, she will not file online (doesn’t like computers).

My question…will we be fined or have any aggravation on Monday morning when we go to immigration to reregister, as, obviously, they’ll be closed when we arrive and through the weekend.

Thanks.

I have a friend moving to Thailand next month. He's 80 and would be coming to get his non-O retirement visa. I've done this before so I know the ropes...

The question is - if he stays with me and shares in my apartment - which I am on contract for - can he still get into a bank if they require proof of lease or TM30 or something like that?

Has anyone gotten any luck with opening a bank account with the DTV visa?

Went to 4 banks (3 Bangkok Bank and 1 Kasikorn) today and each said they can't open it with the DTV.

Has anyone gotten the account with the DTV?

Hello, is the soft power option limited to Muay Thai or can I do it with Freediving training, let’s say 1 month training. I plan to come training regularly at good season but not always at the same location due to weather conditions.

DTV visa approved in Hanoi - Self-employed digital graphic designer (also day trading but thought to not mentioned it and apply with the simplestt option)

They will move to E-visa (may take longer to approve) but hope this post will help you regarding the docuemets anyways

* The funds was deposited into Krungthai bank same day as printing out bank statement (*2 days before appointment*) - the bank was opened in May, so it wasn't 6 months statement but also submitted Revolut along with it - The staff asked to open Krungthai bank app to show her the 500K is still in there the day of my appointment

* Got the bank certificate + notarized from the bank just in case (200Baht)

* Been in Thailand already almost 2 years- 1st year tourist + boarder run - 2nd year non-Ed

Document

1. Cover letter - mentioned self-employed - approximate income monthly- ability to work remote - keen interest to be staying in Thailand while working

2. 3 quotations + 3 invoices + 3 paid slips from the past work

3. 3 letter verification of services from last 3 customers (matching with customers from No.2)

4. Upwork earning certificate

5. Portfolio (my website + CV+Upwork profile screenshot) - 10 pages total

* Try to be patient when submitting the paper work. Don't speak if they didn't ask - organize the pages according to their document requirement from A-Z.

Try to make everything easier for them, they will appreciate it. They deal with a lot of nonsense and people who showed up unprepared all day. I can't image the stress they faced on the daily basis. Be calm and be respectful, and they were very nice back to us.

Thank you for everyone's info and answer from this group.
