Let me ask one thing about DTV visa. My current passport is going to expire in two years’ time. If I got DTV visa for five years. My DTV visa is still eligible under my new passport ? So that I can decide whether I should apply DTV by now. Thank you.

Hi does anyone know the immigration new years opening dates in January for the 90 day check ins?

Cheers

EXPERIENCE ARRIVING IN PHUKET TODAY:

Left Phuket on a business visa (planning to return and cancel it before activating DTV)

Went through the ‘fast track’ at immigration and they said I had to enter on DTV (I didn’t tell them I had DTV, it obviously just came up on their system).

I told them I was advised I had to come back and cancel my business visa and work permit but they asked a few staff and said that wasn’t correct so stamped me in on DTV.

They were very pleasant about it so just an FYI!

Has anyone here left and re-entered to avoid the 180-day mark? I know the 6 month mark is in January since the visa was released but just curious if anyone has done a border bounce and if so, how long did you leave for? Which border? By land or air?

TIA!

Approved!

Online from Australia.

After 3 weeks of back and forth with more documents I finally was approved today.

Uploaded the following:

-Bank statement

- letter from my company to myself stating rights to work remote

- 2 client invoices

- page detailing work done in one given month for clients

See you in Jan

Anyone know what muay thai gyms in bangkok have this visa available? Thanks in advance

Dear All,

Anyone recommended cooking class in CNX which is eligible for DTV visa ?

Thx

Approved!!

Wasn’t expecting it, emailed them to follow up today and 20 mins later got the approval 🎉

Thanks all here for the help! See you on the other side ☀️

Update:

All approved without any further documents. Submitted as advised here, for which thanks to all.

Update 2.

Spouse/dependant visa now in too. 10 working days on the button. RTE Cambodia, no further docs.

Phew.

Anyway, apart from patience I learned a new skill at least: creating, merging and compacting PDFs!

Hello.

I own and run a portfolio of 9 UK rental properties remotely from Thailand and Cambodia. I have retirement visas in both and own a property in Thailand - usually need to fly back to the UK several times a year - and would like to change from retirement visa to DTV

On reading other people's experiences here, I've just opened a Ltd company with me as director.

Advice please on how to write the letter to myself saying I can operate this remotely.

Also, should I mention the property in Thailand/submit the yellow book?

Reason for wanting to change to DTV is that it isn't easy to have one's (in my case Cambodian) spouse accompany one on a retirement visa anymore (this is confirmed by Thai embassy, Cambodia). We will be applying in Cambodia.

Many thanks for your input

Can I open a bank account today, perform multiple transactions, and issue a bank statement to apply for for a visa next week? Is that possible?
