Does your passport have to have 6 months valid when renewing your retirement visa? How early can you apply for your new one?

Hello,

I have applied for DTV visa. I filled the arrival date on the form as 13 August.

My application date: 28 July

Pending approval: 5 August

and today 12 august still on pending approval. I already changed my flight since it was free to change but I have a question. Now since tomorrow will be the day i filled in the form, if this date passes will they still process my visa and give or will they just reject since its already pass the date?

PS: i applied from Ankara.

Thanks for any replies,

best.

My husband and I are considering moving to Thailand I will be there in the next couple months to scout out homes.

In the interim have a couple of questions for visas and medical insurance.

For a retirement Visa is Tricare for life acceptable.

Also just to clarify. Is it either or to put the money required for the Visa and a bank account or is 65,000 baht proving a Year's worth of deposits sufficient enough?

I am also a realtor with 40 years of experience and work through a referral company where all my transactions are online. Would this be something the DTV Visa would allow?

The other question I have is with a sponsor letter. How does this work and is it acceptable. This would be for funds if the 65,000 baht monthly income is not acceptable.

My remote location would be something new and as such I can show just a little bit of activity. Would this be frowned upon?

Any Canadians apply for the DTV while in Asia? How long did it take to approve + did you use an agent or do it yourself?

I am just filling in the DTV now, I am stuck on date of arrival and intended departure, I will be going in September but not sure of date , I was intending to buy a one way ticket , and an onward flight about 3 weeks in to visit Vietnam for a week , then back to Thailand. Coming home for Christmas probably , and then back to Thailand again. I am concerned that they may just issue a one time entry if it looks like I will only be there 3 weeks?? Do you think is would be better to book a return flight and stay for 2 months? Also re proof of accommodation, I usually only book a hotel for a few days at a time as I like to travel around, will this be a problem? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. R
