Hey peeps, can anyone advice on:

1. Any tips on alternatives for apps/platforms (True Money or or..?) that allow scanning for payments in Thailand if we can't open a Thai bank account on a DTV visa? -- Also, how do you top it up? I got True Money but it seems like I can only link it to a Thai bank account, which obviously defeats the purpose.

2. Anyone knows if it's possible to transfer paperwork when buying a motorbike? I'm not sure it can be done on a DTV visa? If so, any idea of what documents are needed?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, quick question - do I need to show a return ticket, when I enter Thailand on the DTV?

Thanks

One question, but can you apply for DTV while you have another visa? Or does it need to be expired/cancelled

Hi friends, I am trying to submit my DTV documents to unlock my features on TrueMoney but when submitting my visa they ask my for workplace in Thailand, obviously since it is a DTV visa we aren't allowed to be working on Thailand. What do you do in this case?

Thank you for all the help 🙏

How have people dealt with the 3MB limit? I struggled with getting everything in order, using different software, merging pdf and minifying images.

Was this a struggle for you guys?

Applied 10/6 through Issacompass.

Paid roughly $1400 for visa fees and muai the courses.

Uploaded my documents, everything handled through them.

Approved 10/14. 8 working days through Chicago consulate.

All in all I highly recommend their services and the application went smoothly.

Before people get in the comments yapping about how you don’t need an agent etc, I was rejected the first time and applied using an agent for peace of mind.

Can’t wait to see Bangkok!!

Hi, I'm Australian on non O retirement first extension. Have met both 800 000 and more

Hi, Interview in Vientiane, the email says from 9:30 to 10:00.

Is that my slot? what happens if I go before? Maybe they let me in if there are few people or need to wait my time?

Also if it's very busy and can not enter at that time I need to go again the next day?

How it works? You go there and they give you like a number and call you?

Hello everyone! I hope somebody can help clarify the following, since I've heard different answers to the same question.

While applying (say, in Vietnam), can I return to Thailand and wait here?, or do I need to stay in Vietnam until the Visa is approved?

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, I couldn't find anything when searching for this topic in previous posts.

Many thanks in advance :)
