Hi,

I would like to know if you can have the tax Id with the DTV visa if you stay more than 180D ?

Normally yes but my friend with a student visa did have it because of his visa, I would like to know if it’s the same with the DTV or not ?

Has anyone got any tips for getting through to the London Embassy?

There are two extention numbers, however it would seem that they keep you with hold music for 10 minutes then cut uou off???

Thank you.

Who can give some information out there please....

I am a Filipina, and my German boyfriend and I are living together here in the Philippines. We want to know if we can extend our stay in Thailand for 6 months after we arrive there.

Or do we need to process it here in the Philippines, or can we do it in Thailand instead?

We hope you can provide a clear answer to our concerns. We highly appreciate your help.

Anybody successful at getting their dtv using Thai language class/ training..? Please share and elaborate procedure or advice..beneficial to those like me who is just so confused..tia!

Hi everyone!

Two Questions about DTV Soft Power:

1. If I have no address or proof of residency in my home country, do Thai embassies accept any Hotel address from the country where I`m going to apply for DTV?

2. Do I have to apply for soft power classes for the whole 5 years? Or only the first 180 day term? And if so, is it possible to change between different soft power activities?

Thanks for your help guys ;-)

Hi, Please can I ask -- When an embassy requests additional documentation for an online application for DTV, do you know how quickly we have to submit it? (I mean after how many days or weeks do they scrap/annul the application if they are still waiting for the additional documents?) I don't have some of the stuff they want immediately to hand, but I reckon I can arrange it, with a bit of time... I applied via London embassy (online). Thank you!

Also... They have requested a UK tax return or accountant's letter (or similar). They say I can black out everything bar my name. I haven't yet submitted my tax return for year from April 2023 to March 2024 (i.e. the latest year)... (It's due January 31 latest). So any tax return I give them would look more than a year old. I am thinking of submitting an accountant's letter, therefore. Do you know what the letter should say? Maybe she (my accountant) knows how these things are done... but in case she needs instructions, I'm wondering what I should say....

I am guessing that this has been a lot on here but I have only just joined. I am looking at moving to Thailand in May/June. I want to stay there permanently. I am looking for visas but having a bit of difficulty. I do not have a degree so a visa B is out. I also have some savings, but nowhere near enough to apply as a wealthy person. I would need a working visa, but also do not have a job lined up yet as I don't want to start working immediately. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can I apply 45 days before or must wait 30 days?

I might sound like a broken record but please bear with me. So this is what we have decided:

1. Will register both of us for a 3.months Thai language class with a reputable institute here in Chiang Mai ..

2. I will have 500k before applying for dtv by Xmas time but not much months before that, instead I have money more than what is needed in my investment account

3. Hubby will be ok since he has all the money😀

Questions:

1. Can I apply using that 500k in Bkk bank and supported by my investment account?

2. Is it better or safer just to be a dependent and apply after hubby gets approved?

Thank you all for your patience and kind responses..
