Hello, do you know if you can renew your driving license with a DTV? My 2 years are expiring soon and will need to renew it to be able to drive legally. Thank you for your feedback

I went to kasikorn bank today with my DTV visa to open an account the clerk said cannot open because its a short term/ tourist visa how am i suppose to live in thailand for 5 years without a bank account lol always carrying 500k baht in the backpack?

Hi, I had to change my passport, can I transfer my DTV visa from my old passport to the new one?

Hello - DTV walk in appointment in Laos coming up and

I'm looking for feedback. For what? For some draft-answers for the application form. There are some points where I struggle a bit.

Recently I paid for a certified 8 month Muay Thai course. And I have proof of last 3 months 500k in bank account.

It would be so nice if I could get some insights/ feedback to my draft:

--Current Occupation / ອາຊີບປະຈơບັນ (specify position and employer)

My struggle: Currently nothing.. I live off of savings and also my father gave me some resources good for the next few month, one off.

What I actually do is: Preparing to start a small remote business/ freelancer structure with no dealings with Thailand. Customers will be businesses from UK/ Ireland/ Germany mostly.

Any advice here about how to best answer that question?! (my main concern). I am an honest guy that loves Thailand seriously - and I also will of course do the soft power activity - Muay Thai. So how can I deal with that question?

--TEL / EMAIL

Thai TEL OK - or better a EU/ foreign phone number?

--Proposed Address in Thailand

I rent a condo in BKK until March 2025. I will write this address..Do I need to attach proof?

--Date of Arrival in Thailand

22th November - is this too soon?!

--Traveling by

Don't know yet. Laos with bus to Udom and then plane probably.

What would you write here?

--Duration of Stay in Thailand

I don't know. I plan to travel to Malaysia in 2 - 3 months for 2-3 weeks.. OR: can I write sth. like: "Duration of stay as per DTV visa requirements, if DTV visa granted (less than 180 days per [each] entry)" ? :)

What did you guys write here?

--Name and Contact of Guarantor in Thailand

Can this be blank? - If not I would write sb. from the Muay Thai school. Even though of course it's not a guarantor. I'd assume this is a question for another type of Visa.

--Name and Contact of Guarantor in Lao PDR

Can this be blank? - If not I would write name of hostel owner.

Thanks - your input/ feedback is highly appreciated.

Many people recommend the online language course called "Learn Thai from a White Guy" by Brett Whiteside.

I want to buy that onlline course, but I'd be curious to learn if anyone would recommend something to supplement it, so that I might be able to go back and forth between two. Another online course or app or YouTube channel, etc.

Having a regular employment where I am do rotations of sometimes different timeframe. Going home every so often (Thailand)

Will I qualify for the DTV visa?

No problems showing finances and employment contract etc.

I’m in HCMC (Vietnam) for 10 days, then I’m flying back to Canada. Is it safe to apply for DTV soft power or is that too tight? If I start application in Vietnam with e-visa, can I do the follow up and send extra documents if needed from my home country? Or application gets automatically rejected? Thanks

So I had my DTV visa granted in Taipei today. I’m currently on a Muay Thai (education visa) that doesn’t end till the 30th of December.

Before returning to thailand do I need to cancel my ED visa ?

I have the DTV stamp now in my passport (sorry if this is a stupid question) just unsure.

Hi Everyone!

Please share how long for your DTV got approved

I’m confused on what I should put on my E Visa application for accommodation. Outside my Thai house I have a paper sign that says 19/1 Soi 5 and another sign that says 19/5 that is engraved and my TM30 says House 19 Village 15. On my online purchases like Bolt, Makro, Lazada my address says 19/1 Soi 5

And lastly on google maps says my address is 19 Soi 5

Why is Thailand address so confusing?

Which one is correct to put on my E-Visa application?
