Hello everyone I am applying for my DTV remote worker visa from Vientiane, Laos. I arrived on the 26th, completed and uploaded all relevant files to the Thai Evisa portal by the 28th. Then on the 29th i wasnt able to pay at the consulate because there were too many people in line but was finally able to the next day on the 30th.

On the 31st I received email asking for additional documents and to re-upload another one. Then the next day on Aug 1st I received email for appointment at the Thai consulate for the 13th! A lot faster than I had hoped. Taking a quick holiday around Laos now before I return to Vientiane for the interview.

Is there anyone who has been through this interview process? And if so please share some of the questions asked would be greatly appreciated!!

Best of luck to everyone out there going through the process! Make sure your documents are clear and well put together!

What is the best Visa for a Retiree who is self insuring for health because of age and pre existing conditions?

If going the soft power route, are the eligibility requirements for the DTV any different than they would be if going the work-cation route?

Has anyone done the DTV visa from Belgium as a freelancer? What additional documents could they ask for. I have gotten all the basic ones required. I have over 500,000 THB but some of it was in stocks so I’ve put them on my savings now. Should that make a problem with the 3 months thing? Also I’m a recent freelancer so don’t have any tax proof yet.

I can’t believe I’m still confused after so much reading and inquiring. I’m in the USA and planning to apply online for a 90-day non O “retirement” visa.

I thought there were no “bank account” requirements to accomplish this first step. I understand the 800,000 baht seasoned for two months in a Thai account for LATER but if proof of funds IS required just to get the non O visa can somebody please clarify that for me? Yes, I can research elsewhere but I prefer hearing the details from people who really know the facts. Thanks.

Hi guys,

I am filling in my TDAC right now. I am coming back from the UK as I live on Koh Phangan but it's asking me for a return journey details. Do I have to have a return flight even tho I'm not leaving and will be staying in Thailand? I've lived there 5 years now, coming back as a tourist and will then obtain an elite visa, as my non O visa expired

Thanks for any help 😊🙏🏽

Hello everyone, I hope you’re all well. I would like to ask for your advice and help regarding my visa situation.

I am currently holding a guardian visa issued by Bangkok Immigration (Chaeng Wattana) since my son is studying in Bangkok. My residence address, however, is in Samut Prakan province.

I am planning to change my visa type to a retirement visa.

* Can I process the change of visa in Samut Prakan Immigration, or do I need to go back to Chaeng Wattana?

* Do I have to wait until my current visa expires before applying for the retirement visa, or can I apply for the change at any time?

Any guidance or experience you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to use two different bank accounts for proof of funds when applying for dtv visa?

When on a non-o based on marriage to a Thai woman Is it allowed that a bank account drops under the 400k for a short period about 5 months prior to a new extension?

Hi everyone. Thank you Admin for letting me in.

Forgive this question as I'm sure it's been asked a million times but:

I am from the UK want to retire to Thailand and am in a long-term relationship with my Thai girlfriend.

I have been to Thailand 6 times over the past 2 years and now wish to spend summers in the UK and winters in Thailand.

I want to apply for a Non-Immigrant O-X Multi-Entry (5+5) Visa and qualify in all eligibility except the Thai bank account (my 3m bht is waiting to be deposited).

To get the Thai bank account I need a visa (can't open one with a tourist visa).

Catch 22!!

What do I do?
