What’s the deal with flight and accommodation requirements for the DTV? Do I actually need a flight booked? I’m planning to fly to Thailand after Tết in Vietnam, but if I don’t get the DTV, there’s no reason to book a flight until it’s confirmed. Also, I’ve noticed some places asking for proof of accommodations in Thailand. How am I supposed to provide that if I’m not there yet and can’t rent a place? It feels like a chicken-and-egg situation. Any advice?

I’ll be applying in Ho Chi Minh.

I don't really get how many days are we supposed to type in? Since we have to leave and reenter every half year. What did you guys put in? That kinda confused me.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently residing in Thailand with a DTV visa, and I have all the required documents in place, including proof of residence and a Thai bank account. I’m interested purchasing a car through leasing and would love to hear from anyone who has experience with the process.

Could anyone provide information on:

Which companies offer car leasing options for foreigners with a DTV visa?

What documents or requirements should I be prepared for?

Are there any tips or things to watch out for when leasing a car in Thailand?

What are the typical rates for leasing? Do the rates for foreigners with DTV visas differ, or are they the same as for Thai residents? Does it vary from bank to bank?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone. I have my DTV Visa granted on 15 September 2024, and have been living in Bangkok since.

A friend told me that I may need to complete and physically visit immigration and submit a "Notification of residence for more than 90 days form (TM.47)"

He wasn't sure and just submitted this form to be on the safe side.

Few confirmation questions:

1)

Can anyone confirm if this form is mandatory to physically submit within 90 days of obtaining a DTV.

2)

If its mandatory, then where in Bangkok do I go to submit this form, or can I do this online?

Please advise the above, or if its not mandatory, please let me know..

Thanks

I applied online a month ago and still no response. I assume this is because of the high season and processing takes longer. Has anyone experienced similar waiting times?

Anybody had any experience applying as a self employed VAT registered Sole Trader in the UK? (Amazon selling etc). Thanks

Hello ~ the embassy in Korea asked me three months of bankstatement, does 500,000 worth amount need to be present in my bank account for past three months? I apply with soft power. Looking forward to your insights.

Guys for DTV I can attend cooking class as I see right? But it just doesn't make sense to me since the cooking class is only for 1 day. Will I still get accepted?

I have confusion regarding the new E-Visa system commencing from 1st January 2025. Can it be applied in Thailand? When approved, do we need to leave Thailand and get a new stamp for new E-Visa? Or the E-Visa will be automatically activated if already inside in Thailand?

Thank you.
