I'm trying to fill PND 94 form, as an individual contractor/freelancer on DTV. But they are asking for assessable income (which probably is 0thb for all dtv visa holders, according to this group - our income is not Thai sourced). Where should I type remitted money into Thailand? Where should I type the tax already paid in my home country?

We entered Thailand yesterday for the first time with DTV. My husband, my 3 years old son and I. Very simple and fast, no questions asked.

Hey!

Sorry this might be a stupid question but I’ve been kinda confused so figured I’d just ask.

I’m planning on applying for the DTV via the workcation/freelancer route. On my passport, we have the “given name” and the “surname” category. My entire name (first, middle and last) is written under “given name” on my passport and the surname section is left blank.

I’m just wondering if I should leave the “last name” section empty in my application since my surname field is left empty on my passport and if I should fit my entire name between my first and middle name sections?

PS - I mailed the embassy a week back but I haven’t really recevived a response, so I’m not sure if I’m gonna get a response from them.

Just landed today in BBK. Did a visa run to Vietnam for a few days since I already extended once this year back in February. Showed the immigration my documents no questions asked. DTV workation category. 1 year of the visa over already.

If locating to Thailand, is it a must to have a Thai bank?

What's the best way to keep to access money in a US bank?

Hi everyone, I wonder if you can help. I'm quite overwhelmed with trying to figure out which visa to apply for and how. I'm a low, well solo, income family with one teenager in tow. I think I'm looking at the DTV as a self-employed person, but I'm wondering what I have to do for my son. There doesn't seem to be a dependent's visa, or have I missed that? What would I need to apply for for him?

Hey, chris here!

We are looking at getting DTV and going Phuket way.

Any recommendation?

We an are ~30 couple, British and Canadian. We like peacefulness, walking distance to massage places, gyms and spas etc, also good amenities like cinema etc.

Also how much cost $ is it roughly to furnish a 3 bed house 🙂

Thanks!

Submitting a printed TDAC for an application to an extension?

Yesterday, I read a report that initially puzzled me.

You all know and are aware of the requirement to fill out and submit the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card), which has been in effect since May 1, 2025. It can be completed starting 72 hours before your planned arrival in Thailand.

As soon as you receive the TDAC QR code via email, you should definitely print it out and take it with you. Why is that?

You won't be explicitly asked for it at the immigration counter anymore, because the immigration officer can see it on their computer screen after scanning your passport. And you can theoretically show it on your phone.

BUT:

According to a recent report, Immigration will require a copy of the TDAC signed by you in blue ink, when applying for the next one-year extension of stay. And most likely soon, the same when applying for the 30-day tourist extension.

To date (August 16, 2025), there has only been one report on this. However, I am expecting more of those to appear.

It's somewhat understandable, because previously, you had to present your TM6 departure card when applying for the one-year extension of stay, and the same applied when one applied for the 30-day touristic extension.

When the TM6 was abolished almost three years ago for air travel and later also for land travel, I had to react.

I had long since removed the fact that you no longer had to present the TM6 departure card from my consultation templates – and now it will probably be added back to the list of requirements of the various immigration offices as proof of a completed TDAC.

By informing people about this, I can at least prevent you from having to leave the immigration office empty-handed if they ask for a printout of your TDAC and you unfortunately don't have it with you on this day

Be prepared and always expect the unexpected

Hi guys, I'm the thai husband (but cant speak thai) and trying to extend my wife's 3 months non-o visa to marriage visa and getting the kor ror 22 from District office for the first time. (we were married overseas).

Hey guys,

Currently applying for DTV Visa in Germany. I borrowed the 500,000 TBH from my parents which was last month. Do you know if I need to hold the money for at least 3 months? Or is it ok if I just prove the amount is in my bankaccoubt on my last financial statement?

Cheers!
