Just about to apply for soft power DTV and have a few questions:

1. Is it possible to find the current waiting time before approval for various locations? I have some flexibility on locations - but would prefer not to have to spend more than 10 days there.

2. If I apply at Ho Chi Minh City, do I have to stay there? I'd rather go somewhere else (still within the country).

3. If yes can I go somewhere else and it gets approved could I go get the stamp say 3 days later? Just worried they'll approve it and it will take me a day or 2 to get back if I go elsewhere.

Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone

I would like to ask those who have been approved of DTV as a freelancer. What do you need to show as a freelancer if you don't have employment contracts with companies and clients? Thank you for your help.

DTV Visa for a UK landlord

Hi there, I’ve been renting my house in the UK since 2015 (with Tax records). I’ve lived in Thailand around 3-4 years in total as a tourist. I’d really like to apply for a DTV visa to avoid all the travel and uncertainty of being let back in.

Can anyone offer any afdvuce on this subject? I have prof of funds.

I’d be happy to sort out professional support for this or another way including education or training program.

Many thanks

Hello everyone, how long has someone had to wait in the "Pending Approval" section before they got and update?

Is it fair for me to say they now require no additional documents? I wonder what the "Pending Approval" process is...are they 100% happy with the application and just waiting for their boss or someone to give the final yes? lol🤣🤣

Once DTV is approved, do we have a certain number of days to enter the country with it or it open ended for the first entry? ie: must enter within first 30 days of approval or something similar.

Also, Canadians, how long did your approval take?

What should I do?

Thank you !

Hello

I'm new in here

anyone now if it possible to do border run in Ranong right now ?

So I have now got my retirement visa and a multiple entry stamp valid until Jan 26, 2026. I went back to the UK Dec 28 (before my 1st 90 day reporting was due) and I asked the Thai lady at the bio passport check did I need to get the passport stamped instead of using the bio system to show I was leaving. She said no it is now all recorded electronically. My question is if left before my 1st 90 days was completed and I'm due back in Feb 28 does the clock start ticking again from that date for next 90 days... correct or not? and if so and I intend to visit UK before the 90 day limit each time do I need to report to immigration at all, also if I go for a holiday to a neighbouring country and use the biometric passport check at the boarder each time will I be ok🤷
