Hello all - can you tell me if there is any reason someone would consider getting the privileged visa instead of retirement visa at 50 and over?

Hi, I'm planning to apply for the DTV in Thailand next year. My current situation is that I am self-employed with my Italian company, but I'm looking to transition to a US LLC in order to be able to live and work in Thailand legally, as it is not allowed to have both tax residency in Thailand and a VAT number in Italy at the same time.

My question is: If I create the LLC but don’t have a substantial “background” with it (since I'm creating for the purpose of relocating), is it still acceptable for the DTV application? I do have a business background in Italy with my VAT number, but I need to make this change to comply with the regulations.

I would appreciate any insights or advice on how this thing might affect my application.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, next month I’ll be traveling to Thailand with a tourist visa, but I’m interested in applying for the Digital Nomad DTv Visa once I’m there. I have a few questions and would really appreciate if someone with experience could help me out:

1. Is it possible to apply for the DTv Visa easily from within Thailand while on a tourist visa?

2. If not, would it be possible to go to a nearby country, like Cambodia, and apply for it from there?

Thank you so much in advance for any advice or experiences you can share!

Question about e-visas (DTV if it matters).

Suppose I fly to HCMC and apply for DTV using the HCMC embassy. I submit documentation that I'm in HCMC, such as hotel bookings.

While waiting for the application to be approved, I fly to Hanoi, which is under the jurisdiction of a different embassy, but still within the country of Vietnam.

Is that allowed?

What is the longest lag time allowed between being granted a 90 Day Non O Visa in your home country, and actually arriving in Thailand, receiving your non-o passport stamp, and beginning your 90 Days of paradise? I was told u actually also have 90 days from day of visa approval to arrive and still be valid for 90 days in Thailand.

I’m in Bangkok, went to BangkokBank with US Passport in hand, to set up account using Non-O stamp, TM30 + lease. The lady then asked me to get a Letter from US Embassy Certifying the that my Passport was really mine. No clue why. I guess I could have also brought my California drivers license and my Canadian passport as proof of my ID. What’s my move? Bother with a bureaucratic embassy OR learn my lesson and bring the supplemental IDs to the next branch I attempt to setup an account (do Thais understand the principle of dual citizenship or will using the Canadian passport as ID confirmation confuse them?)

Say i hire a an Agent to help set me up a Bangkok Bank account in BKK. Is there a downside to my future ease of banking if the only branch he has hook-up is 10km away from my Condo in Asoke? Is it easy to later transfer account to branch closer to my home, like one can in US? Additionally, would like recommendations from anyone who knows agent whose turf is in sukhumvit. Thanks.
