Hello, I am a bit nervous because I will re enter Thailand on the DTV for the 2nd time. I don't have the original amount in my bank account. Would I be able to show my mums bank details and a letter from her that guarantees financial support if necessary? I have the money but it's mostly invested. I dont want to move all my funds for the purpose of re entry into Thailand. Or do you think it's enough to show the same documents I applief for with 8 months ago?

My fear is that I will be required to go to an embassy in person:

I'm thinking of flying from Thailand to Danang to be in Vietnam while applying for the DTV.

If there are extra documents required, can I submit them electronically from anywhere in Vietnam?

I'm applying for a workation DTV. I don't yet have my own company, but I can show income coming in to my bank account.

How likely is it that I would need to travel to an embassy?

Hi all,

I came back to my condo in Bangkok in June (I’ve been renting it for the year), but I just realized I forgot to have the owners file a TM30 for my return. They’ve submitted my previous TM30s, but I think it’s well past the window for them to file it now.

We’re moving out on September 1st, and I was wondering if staying at a hotel for a night to get a fresh TM30 for my next 90-day report would work or if that’s not an option.

I’ve already done two 90-day reports at this address, the first in person and the second online. Since I left and re-entered Thailand, do I need to go in person again for the next one, or can I still do it online?

Thank you for the help.

Looking for advice on getting a DTV visa for Thailand

I’ve spent 4 months in Thailand this year. I’m currently traveling in Spain and Portugal, and plan to head back to Thailand in October for 2 months before returning to the US.

Question 1 – When and where to apply:

Should I apply for the DTV visa now while I’m in Europe?

My passport is running out of pages soon. I’ve read (and ChatGPT confirmed) that they can put the visa in my old passport, and I’d just show both the old and new passports when traveling. But I’d rather avoid extra confusion with border agents and keep it all in one passport if possible.

Is this a big deal — should I wait until next year when I have my new passport, or just go ahead and apply now?

I’ve also considered just going with the digital nomad option, but I’m concerned about Thai taxes. Based on what I’ve read, I likely wouldn’t owe anything, but I’d still prefer to avoid being in their tax system altogether.

Question 2 – Muay Thai option:

I qualify for the DTV in a few ways, but I’m most interested in the Muay Thai option since it seems to require less financial disclosure.

My gym has a program, but it’s 37,000 THB per week for only 2 training sessions a week. I currently train 5 privates a week for only 5,000 THB, so that cost makes no sense.

Do I have to stick with one approved gym to qualify, and do I have to stay enrolled in their program for the whole visa? Or can I train independently?

I really do train 5 days a week — I’m not trying to scam the system — but at 37k per week, I might as well just get the Elite Visa.

Hello all! I have a question. My partner and I did one visa tourist renovation through Samui airport. We were in thailand from may until August. 6 days trip and we turned back a few days ago.

My question is if we go on november 1month or so to do another trip. Can we come back to thailand by flight to stay 3 months again?

We did renewed visa tourist once this year. November will be the second one.

Thank you!

Need to transfer 400k for my nonO extension based on marriage through WISE.

Malaysian bank regulations stated that max per transfer not more than MYR30k per/day = +-227k Baht.

Would it be a problem if I make it into TWO transfer of 200k Baht per/day?

And, reason I should choose long terms living expenses right, as to mark it as international transfer, to Kasikorn Bank in this case.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Hey guys, got a gig working in Bangkok teaching, so been recommended to do the border run in Laos for the non-B visa. Thing is I’ve been working in Cambodia the last two years, and my police check from there expires on the 16/08, which is next Saturday. To get another one will cost me an arm and a leg as I will have to get it externally, are they picky on validity?

Thanks!

I want to fly from Miami to Bangkok on a one way ticket. If I also purchase an onward travel ticket to Vietnam from Bangkok will I be admitted to Thailand and be ok? I want to enter Thailand and get the 60 day visa on arrival for U.S citizens. Thanks.

I travelled to Thailand in March from the UK for 60 days ( no rule to have visa ) I hope to be back in October and hoping to stay 90 days , can you please advise me on the rules now ( has it changed from 60 days visa exempt ) I know the final 30 days will have to be applied for via the immigration offices or by border crossings , thank you for your time .
