Hello everyone!

I received my medical soft power DTV after four weeks – in Austria. 🥳 Thanks for your help!! Khob khun ka 🙏

So … Next Step! Is it necessary for my family members to apply for it in Austria, or can they do so in a country where it is faster? So that it matches my DTV? I do not have any international documents. In Austria, I am concerned that it may take too long due to public holidays. 🤨

Hello everyone,

I just got a Non O Marriage visa and I’m entering phuket Thailand to activate it on Thursday 25th September to activate it.

Previously we filled out the TM30 online as if I was paying rent at my wife’s house with a lease document when I was on a tourist visa.

Could you please let me know how does my wife fill out the TM30 now?

Do we just need the marriage visa document?

Is there anything else?

Thanks so much in Advance 🙏

Hello guys. This is my first time in Thailand for a longer period of time. Soon the 90 days report is imminent. My question to the professionals. If I leave before the 90 days and come back after 4 or 5 days, then does the 90 day period start again? Thank you for helpful answers. Greetings Juergen

I am filling the DTV application form and not sure how to fill the duration of stay. I plan to stay at least 1 year but the visa only allows up to 180 days per entry. Should I limit the number of days to 180 or would be fine if the number of days is much longer? Also there is a section to add flight numbers. I'm not booking flights until the visa is granted. Any help/suggestion on how to fill this sections is really appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi all, May I ask if it is possible to apply for a 30-day extension before the NON-O visa expires?

I have my DTV, but have some unexpected expenses and I will drop below the 500,000 baht limit. How will it work for trips in and out? Will I run into issues, do they check the current balance? Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Ps - my parents can sponsor me, but I’d like to avoid it if I can.

DTV Visa for Retired Canadian – Is It Really Possible?

I’m a Canadian retiree (from Québec) and I’m currently looking into the new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Some agencies told me it is *very easy* for a retiree like me to obtain this visa, but others say it’s *not possible* since the DTV is not meant for retirees. I would really appreciate hearing from people with first-hand experience.

* My profile: fully retired, no financial issues (very high investment income and bank assets, more than enough to qualify for any financial requirement).

* My goal: to stay in Thailand for several months every year without the hassle of making large deposits in a Thai bank like the O-A/O-X retirement visas require.

Here are my main questions:

1. Is the DTV visa truly possible for a retiree (50+, Canadian passport)?

2. Can I apply directly through the embassy/consulate myself, or do I absolutely need to go through an agency?

3. If you recommend using an agency, which reliable one would you suggest?

4. If I can apply on my own, what documents do I need to prepare (income proof, bank statements, insurance, proof of “activity” for DTV, etc.)?

5. Has anyone here already obtained a DTV as a retiree and could share their real experience?

Thank you very much for your advice! 🙏

Hello,

Has anybody been able to open a Wise account or a Binace account while living in Thailand on a DTV?

I don’t have a tax residency at the moment and would like to start investing once I move here for the next 5 years.

Thank you!

After the 180 days limit expires and you go boardr hopping how long do you need to stay outside of Thailand before coming back to renew your visa?
