I am planning to relocate to Bangkok at the end of this year when my apartment lease ends. I will be applying for the DTV Visa as a digital nomad and will have 500k+ Thai Baht in liquid funds by the end of this month or early November, with plans to continue increasing that balance. I want to make sure I meet the three-month requirement before applying, but in the meantime, is it possible to move on a tourist visa and then travel to Vietnam or Indonesia for a week to switch to the Destination Thailand Visa? Also, do landlords typically accept a tourist visa for a one-year lease? I completely understand if not, but I wanted to know, since Airbnb or hotels, especially as I am bringing my dog, would be much more expensive. Has anyone experienced a similar situation, but got their DTV visa? Which country do you guys prefer when I go abroad to get the visa? Indonesia or Vietnam? Thank you!!!

Is there an age cut off for DTV VISA & do you have to work online/ go to school.

Just entered Thailand for the first time on my DTV through Suvarnabhumi, and happy to report no issues. Handed the IO my passport, passport sized copy of my DTV, and boarding pass. There was no request to see my TDAC. She stamped me with an out date of March 30, 2026.

Hanoi DTV:

I saw somewhere that after October 25th there are no in-person applications. What does this mean for DTV applications in Hanoi?

I think it still means I would need to be in Hanoi/Vietnam for the sake of the local address etc, but besides there really isn't anything different?

Not needing to show up in person, is a good thing right?

Hi! I have a DTV and my question is, do I still need to go to imigration to report within six months?

I heard that I need to go every 90 days to so.

Cheers

DTV holder. Bangkok Bank frozen. Is there anyway I can get my money back without travelling back to Phuket from Bangkok to visit the original branch?

Hi,Does anyone currently have a Non O application with Canberra embassy. Mi e has sat at waiting approval for nearly 18 days.Sent an email and just received a standard reply saying turnaround is 10 business days.

TIA

Thinking of cutting out the middle man and just sending the monthly money to my wife. I have a lump sum for visa extension purposes. Anyone know how long a bank account can remain dormant before being closed/locked by the bank?

Hi has anyone changed from DTV to retirement visa recently? Looking for some advice to change over. Thanks 🙏

To anyone with a Muay Thai Softpower DTV. A question they will try catch you out with at the airport is. Will you be fighting in Thailand? The answer is No you are only here for training.
