Hello,

If you are 48 and a half years old and you come to Thailand to live now . What visa is the best to bridge the gap to become 50 to apply for a retirement visa?

Can you get a health insurance if you do not have a long term visa?

Hello!

I have a 1-year retirement visa, a multi-reentry permit. Please tell me, when I return to Thailand, do I need to register with the immigration and a new TM30 form every time? My address does not change, I have a 1-year lease contract. Thank you!

Quick question, see on the DTV VISA when you extend your visa after the initial 6 months and you've been in Thailand for 12 months, how long do you have to leave the country before you can come back into Thailand? Could I fly to a nearby country for like a long weekend and come back and stay 6 months and extend again? It might seem like a silly question but someone might be able to clear this up for me.

My friend applied for the visa whilst in Thailand, told her this is very bad

What do you reckon next steps are? Create new application, email embassy?

Hi, is anyone from Poland applying for a DTV? Unfortunately, I don't see an option in my bank to generate a bank statement in English, only in Polish. How should I translate it? (The website says the translation must be authorized, so I can't do it myself).

Hey everyone

Just wanted to share my experience with the DTV Soft Power Visa, since this group has been super helpful for me! 🙏

I’m German and applied last Tuesday in Hanoi (October 15). On Friday, they requested one more document – just a better quality photo because my original one wasn’t clear enough. And today, Tuesday, October 21, I got approved!

For reference, I had 500,000 THB in my Thai bank account for the last 3 months before applying.

My Soft Power category was Muay Thai, and I registered with Tiger Eye Musy Thai Bangkok , highly recommend them if anyone’s considering that route.

Overall, the process was really smooth and faster than expected.

If anyone has questions or needs help with the application, feel free to reach out happy to share more details!

Hello! I’d like to apply for a DTV but I only have 1 Month bank statement showing over $16k (I received the funds in Sept and my flight is in Nov). Should I enter Thailand without a visa, border hop, apply while I’m out of the country?

Or should I get a tourist visa or someother arrangement, extend or try to convert to DTV after a couple of months?

Hi. A friend applied for a visa in Hanoi. The visa was canceled. "Wrong personal info"

How can I tell where there was a mistake? There was no error in the passport details. Is there a phone number or email I can check? Thanks
