Hi All ,

Looking for some sound advise , Currently live in Aust with my thai partner and young son. Both who have thai passports.

Looking at retirement in Thailand buriram soon , what is the best type of Visa to apply for and is it best to source in the Thai embassy in Australia before leaving. Also the best and safest way to transfer funds to look at building a house.

I would appreciate some strong suggestions please

Approved in Hanoi!

I'd like to thank everyone in this group for sharing their experience, that's been super helpful. Here's mine with a French passport:

January 14th: Applied under the remote work category

January 14th: Requested additional documents: Page of my passport with the Vietnamese immigration stamp.

January 14th: Moved to "Pending Approval"

January 21st: No news, so I sent an email and called them. No one answered the phone. But around 5PM, I got the visa by email.

What I provided:

1. Savings account with more than 500k. I had about 600k at the time of application. My savings are on Revolut.

1. Work contracts + earning certificate from Upwork. I'm a freelancer with 3 clients in EU, US, UK, and other smaller projects on Upwork. So I merged all the signed contracts + the Upwork paper into 1 PDF.

1. A photo of my passport + my photo in front of the hotel with the room key. I suggest you to add the stamp from immigration too (I didn't). Merge all in a PDF doc too.

1. A flight number and where I planned to stay in Thailand. I booked a temporary flight ticket + a hotel with no credit card required for a month. They do not ask for a confirmation email or any screenshot.

I was in Sapa the whole time while waiting and it was fine.

Please keep in mind that Hanoi embassy will probably close next week due to the Lunar New Year, so it might take longer for you to get it.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again everyone that contributed in this group!

Morning guys, jomtien immigration can anyone recommend agent for 30 day extension and where to find . Thank you again

Anyone apply for DTV in USA? If so, how long did it take?

Applied Dec 12, and application only shows pending approval dated Dec 13, nothing since then.

Not sure I should email embassy or continue to wait.

Thanks.

Hello Everyone i have got this email from Thai consulate requested for in-person interview.

Wanted to know what questions they are going to ask during the interview normally?

Furthermore i would like to mention i have my own company in UAE. Company is paying me salary and commission every month in the account. I'm on investor visa holding Pakistani passport, and i have valid Thai sticker visa. Please help if anyone faced this.

Im British arrive Thailand 22 May, will i need to complete an ETA?

Did not keep updated. My non O visa 90 day + 60 day extension for visiting child ends next week.

Looking around it looks like I have to leave even before applying for new Visa?

Any potential work arounds or advice on this?

Info suggests long waits in neighbour countries like laos.

I am planning to move to Thailand in July. I am just wondering whether it would make sense to apply for the DTV visa now and enter the country for a short time, leaving and come back in a few months. I fear that the regulations could become stricter, if not be changed completely. However, entry and exit could also cause problems. What do you all mean?

Why didn't I get the visa sticker on my passport like everyone else? But instead I received just a passport stamp with dtv on it

IS this normal ?

If I applied for visa in uk , to arrive bkk , but I actually changed my route and wanted to enter by land boarder from canbodia into Thailand, would that be still OK

Will it still get approved when arrive at the gate
