Okay. I'm a US citizen ready to become an expat in Thailand

What are my responsibilities to America. I am on medicare and medicaid but probably have to get part b. I am also on ssI with direct deposit. Will any of these benefits be compromised as an expat, and curious about tax liabilities. I know it's alot but I also know alot of you have gone through this. My visa would be non o with Thai Family.

Do you have to make an appointment to get a new driving licence on samui, or just turn up?

Hi A quick query ,Do the TM30 need to be filled in every time I return to Thailand and stay in my house or dies my wife need to do it

I am hearing different amounts off how much you need to show in a Thai bank for a marriage visa 400k or 800k .

I'm going to Thailand in January on non-imm O visa. Flying from UK.

Can I buy one way ticket as I'm not sure how long will i stay? Or will it have problems on the border?

Hallo. I got accepted for exchange programme in Thailand. So now I got all documents from University and I wanna apply for Visa. So I'm going for non-imm ED visa and I realised that I can only get single entry.

I plan to travel during my stay to other Asia countries for events (I work in entertainment industry) and I was wondering is there any alternative to be able get multiple entries? I heard it's possible to pay everytime but it's like €50 or sum and if I'm gonna travel more than 5 times I think it's waste of money.

Anyone has idea how I can figure it out? Not sure if I can have other kind of visa and just study with that.

Hello everyone, I need your advice!

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I'm currently in Brazil, in a city far from the Thai Embassy, so I plan to apply for the DTV online and choose "The Royal Thai Embassy in Brazil" as my location.

Here's my question: should I submit my documents in Portuguese (the official language of Brazil) or translate them to English?

I would really appreciate your opinions and experiences on this matter. Thank you in advance! 🙏

DTV approved in Berlin Embassy in Workcation category 🥳

Hello lovely people! I promised to give a big update when my application is approved. I got a lot of info and help from this group and lovely group members. So I hope my post can help others too.

I applied on 11.10. at Berlin Embassy. I am a German citizen with a private Limited Company registered in UK and I am the Company Director of it.

I provided:

- Business registration (PDF Download from companies House)

- Self written Statement letter giving all Information about the Business activities of my Company, that I have no Business in Thailand and dont intend to Build any, that my stay in Thailand will be only for Personal reasons and that I will work Remote during my stay in Thailand (signed and wet Company stamp)

- business contract between my Company and a customer, including which Services my Company provides for that customer (b2b)

- 3 invoices from my Company showing that my Company Generates income

- flight ticket

- booking confirmation for a rented condo for 6 months

To proof 500.000 Baht I downloaded a PDF Bank Statement of my WISE Account, showing around 15.000€.

On 21.10. I received a request for further documents, explaining that my Business registration can Not be accepted, because it is Not a German document. International documents had to get legalised by an official of the State Where the Company is registered plus by the Thai Embassy in that state.

Besides that they didn‘t accept my passport photo, because I scanned one and uploaded it. So you really need to go to a Professional Studio and get a digital foto.

Because I stay in Germany at the moment I had to Order the documents from companies House, send them back to UK to get them legalised and again send them to UK Thai Embassy in London to get them legalised by them. That took me more than 4 weeks despite express shipping.

After I had all documents legalised I uploaded them and got approved on the next day 🥳

I am very happy and hope that my application story can help you. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments 😊

See you in Thailand 🙏🏻

has anybody here provided their crypto account balance besides physical bank account balance for DTV application?

For those of you who have been asked to show all the pages of your passport for the DTV at HCMC or Hanoi, is this because you have ticket yes for “have you applied for a visa in Thailand before” and “have you visited Thailand before”?

Second part of this is have any of you applied via the workcation route and been on ED visas prior to this when sending this to the embassy, for example ED visa ending/cancelled and then going that route?

Wondering if that’s an issue.

Thanks in advance and I’m sure I’m asking on behalf of many in this group.
