Whilst in Thailand for two months initially, i need to buy a SIM for opening a bank account. But also to speak with family back home.

The house we are renting doesnt have wifi and i dont want to install one for just two months.

What are the best data packages in Thailand for unlimited wifi so I can tether my iPad to my iPhone?

Does immigration have DTV details like category and subcategories? At the time of entry or exit do they know whether it is workation or Soft power? I am just curious because it is not mentioned on visa

Does anyone know when you don't check within the 3 days after you arrive back in thailand with the local immigration office, what happens? I know you get a fine, can it affect you leaving the country or entering again?

Thank you in advance.

I will be applying in London for the Workcation DTV in in Feb time and I am aware they might ask for self assessment tax proof. I will not have any proof because I will be applying in February and I can only file my self assessment in April. My freelance work started in May 2025 so I do not have a completed tax return yet.

Do you have any suggestions for what I should provide if they ask for this?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice about applying for a DTV.

How long does approval usually take, and what evidence is best to submit? I have a website portfolio that shows my work, but I’m not sure if that’s enough.

For proof of funds, can I use statements from my investments on Freetrade, where my money is currently held? Would that be accepted for the DTV?

I’m currently living in the UK (since July 2025), and before that I was travelling through multiple countries.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Just arrived with the dtv for a 6 month muay Thai course .. when I leave at the 180 days do I have to have a new course to come back in on or will I be able to just reenter as it is a multiple entry visa and also will they ask to see the 500k baht in your bank account ?

Hello everyone

I’m applying using discover Thai nature 1 year seminar.

Booked a flight into Thailand and booked accommodation for 44 days I will be there. Then I have an onward ticket. Attached all of these on my application as my embassy told

Me they would want flights in and out.

Should I attach a note about my short stay and that I would be looking for a house in the time I stay there and continue my program after my trip out?
