I'm a remote worker who primarily uses the Zoom app for call-related work. I'm considering relocating to Bangkok, and I'm wondering if this is even possible. Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge or experience with this possibility?

Hello. Has anyone applied from Rome, Italy? I will apply via e-visa on Friday, but I still have questions. In the DTV documents section of the site, they ask for proof of entry-exit flight reservation and proof of accommodation. When I arrive in Thailand for accommodation, I want to rent a house and I only booked a hotel for 2 days. Should I make a reservation for the number of days I will stay and show the exit flight ticket?

Required Documents

1. Flight Itinerary showing flights into and out of Thailand

2. Proof of accommodation: Copy of hotel reservation / rental contract/deed. In case of residing with a family, an invitation letter from the host family along with a copy of their undersigned Thai ID or house registration is required. The name of the applicant must be indicated clearly, or

Thanks for your help

I want to move to Thailand with my family next year (2 adults 1 kid). We've been nomads for 4 years but want to settle in Asia. I contacted an agency and was told we do not qualify for any visas. Our monthly income after taxes is over 10k USD with my remote job and business. Is what they said true? I thought we would easily qualify for DTV.

Edit:

I got some great information. Thank you everyone. I'm going to close comments.

Hi, wondering what others with a double surname did..

Im going to Thailand for over 60 days in January 2025 and I need to apply for a tourist e-visa. When creating my account I put my surname, which is Sobanska-Peksa, but it doesn't let me write it like this.

Should I just write Sobanska when creating the account or write SobanskaPeksa without the - symbol?

If my visa says stay permitted up to 17 JAN 2025, does that mean I have to leave by 16th, or can I still have my flight on 17th night time?

Has anyone experienced issues with payment when applying in HCM? It keeps displaying the message *Payment failed or cancelled.*

I’ve tried all the suggested solutions, such as using different cards, submitting a new application, and changing the address to match my billing card, but nothing has worked.

I wonder if this is a systematic error.

Seeking advice about the 1 year extension based on having a Thai Wife - at ChaengWattana.

* Is booking required, or are walk-ins also accepted? First available booking on the website is 3 Jan, I need to apply on 6 or 9 December. Is it better to arrive early to be at front of queue, or are afternoons quieter?

* does anyone have a recent copy of the document checklist they could provide me. I've been working of Phitsanulok checklist, so not sure what requirements would be different.

* For the B400,000 statement and letter from the bank, can that be from a few days before the application, or do I have to get something from the bank on the morning of application

* Does the KorRor22 have to be printed same day as application, or can be earlier? Phitsanulok office require it printed same day as the application.

* How much notice do they normally give before home visits? What if you are out at the shops, visiting friends, restaurant, etc?

For reference - I'm on an Australian passport, with Non-Imm O visa. Current entry stamp expires 9 December, visa stamp is already expired. Married to Thai wife. We tried to apply today at Phitsanulok immigration, since we are currently staying there, however, have been sent to apply at Bangkok immigration since that is our more primary residence (we alternate between both locations frequently) and were planning to be there most of December.

Phitsanulok immigration said there would be 3 home visits during the 30 day under application period, and at least 1 would be unannounced, and if we were not home when they turned up the whole visa would simply be cancelled.

Any advice appreciated, as I'd like to avoid multiple trips out to ChaengWattana.
