Just adding a data point. Arrived in BKK, we had to fill out TDAC, the TDAC asked for leave date and airline flight, we picked a random one about 6 months from now and filled that in. When we went continued through immigration and got stamped no questions were asked, we simply gave them our A1 printed out visas and was stamped for 6 months.

Is there any additional forms, or reporting needed on our end if we plan on staying 6 months?

VISA APPROVED!

Hanoi Embassy

Applied on Wednesday

Sent additional documents on Thursday.

Approved the next Wednesday.

Info that might help others:

I included bank statements from 4 banks: Bangkok Bank, Wells Fargo, Kbank (joint account) Kbank (personal account). Totals for all the bank was over 1 million for 3 months.

The additional documents requested were pay stubs, business license of the company I will work for and the passport/ID of the owner.

I included the pay stubs from my old job in Thailand which were reflected on my Thai bank accounts. I also included the invoices of some of my contract work which were reflected on my Wells Fargo account. My new boss's passport was expired, so I included that as well as their drivers license.

For the business registration I included a copy of their LLC, EIN registration, tax registration and Treasury department registration. Maybe a bit of overkill, but I had access to all those, so I sent everything.

No issues mentioned about my Thai accounts. I didn't send them my old work permit, no pages from my passport, nor my tax information from years of working in Thailand. I did have those ready if needed. All in all it was a smooth and quick experience, other than the angst!

Thanks for all your help here!

Can anybody tell me do you need a return flight booked for your arrival visa ?

Hi! We are entering Thailand on a Retirement Non O.

Do we need to go to the Immigration with our TM30 to register within 24 hrs? Thank you.

* EDIT*

Thank you all for your help and contributions !!! <3

About the beach part,

a city with lakes, waterfalls, would be amazing as well,

so the sea is not necessary.

*Muay Thai*

Hello everyone,

My goal is to train in Muay Thai in Thailand.

I'm asking for any help and guidance and information please.

I would like to train with the following preferences:

✅ 1. in a quiet city\town (doesn't have to be a big city)

✅ 2. Not touristy

✅ 3. With a recommended professional gym for beginners

✅ 4. Ideally with good internet infrastructure

✅ 5. Recommendation for where to live (booking guesthouse, Airbnb, other suggestions?)

✅ 6. Ideally with access to the beach and green nature, for some short hiking.

✅ 7. Any tips or bits of information, suggestions,

would be amazing and much appreciated.

Probably I missed some important details or made some mistakes😅

Please feel free to correct me.

Thanks a lot!!! 😄

hi , i would like to ask which kind of file can be submitted trought the visa website , i have to describe my job and attach an activity statement, is possible to send 2 files pdf together or they have to request more documents and i can add later, how people solve this problem?

Hi, has anyone else on a dtv lost their passport and had the embassy transfer over the visa to their new passport? My DTV was issued in London so I think my first step should be to contact them, any advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation please?

Edit: To be clear I lost my passport outside of Thailand and I'll want to re-enter on a brand new one, not in possession of the old passport only a photocopy of the data page.

Hi Members,

I have A DTV Visa. I intend to stay in Thailand approx 123 days.

I have an elderly mother who is 80 years old and relies on me as her carer.

I understand the spouse Visa is for a wife and Children under 20.

1 - Will they make any exception to allow me to sponsor a Elderly dependant parent if paperwork (Medical - birth certificate etc) is provided to show the dependancy.

2 - If this is not possible, and we apply for her own Soft Power DTV Visa, can anyone recommend a Thai cooking class Close to Pattaya who we can book with, Ideally a company that can provide the relevant paperwork for the Visa Application.

Any help would be appreciated, I just want to decide which is the best route to go down.

Many thanks

Jac

Next month I'm ready to go to emigration to change my 60 days stamp to my first non O visa stamp. I'm already approved for this, here in Hua Hin. What documents I have to bring with me?

Here is the so called credit advice letter from Bangkok bank regarding this months wise transfer. It does not specify foreign transfer.
