I’m planning on moving to Thailand later in the year and getting the DTV visa, I’ve got a property rental business in the UK which has been trading for 9 months. Will this be enough evidence to obtain the DTV visa? I’ll also be doing freelance work in the construction industry but not sure how I can evidence this? Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Just got my Non-O Visa here, very excited, cannot wait to start a new life and visit the new Central Park Mall in Bangkok. My goal is to extend / replace my Non-O to a year-long stay as many times as possible. I need a comprehensive view on how I may achieve my goal starting from taking the flight to Thailand, including how often & where I should report my stay to the Thai immigration office、how man I find a 1-bedroom condo within a week after my arrival、how to open a Thai bank account........and so on.

Many in this group had provided me very valuable advice to help me take the very first step, even though I don't know you, Thank You ! And Thank You for more useful advice to this post.

~ Ps. I'm not as old as the figures shown in the picture, am still a young & desirable chick, just slightly over 50. 😅

Thanks for any help

Drivers license renewal. I have a DTV and a 2 year Thai license which will expire in a few months. I've read that some DTV holders have had success in receiving a 5 year license when they go to renew. Does anyone have experience? I'm in Chiang Mai if that matters

Hi there,

A tax question. Does the TDV allow you to request a tax ID number? I would think so, but would like to be sure. Also, what kind of rental contract is needed to request this tax ID? Is a 6-month contract enough?

I have sent my SCB bank statements, and now they are asking for a copy of the visa I held when I opened the bank account. It was 15 years ago... Has anyone experienced a similar situation?
