hello, I am on a METV. The first 60 day date to leave the country is stamped 4 november in my french passport. Due to illness, I could not leave the country today on a planned trip. I am quite ill in bed and would like to delay this trip to immigration as long as I can. Can I ask for an extension at Bangkok immigration on Monday 4 november, which is the same date stamped in my passport. thank you

I am so thankful!!! Glory be to God alone!🙏🤩💪

Following all the posts in this group, I have seen some who are not interested or able to register as nomad digital workers to apply for this visa.

Remember there are other alternatives listed as Thai Soft Power Activities

So if you do not work online but want to apply, you can still qualify for the Thailand DTV Visa if you plan to engage in “Thai Soft Power” activities. These include:

* Muay Thai courses

* Thai cooking courses

* Sports training

* Medical treatment

* Seminars

* Music festivals

I have now made contact with a school for this cookery course in the north eastern province of Khon Kaen. Been there with my friend Wanida Somruecha for a meeting and tour of the facilities. This gives a different environment to engaging in this course in a city like Bangkok for instance. It is a small family run business on the outskirts of the city, but easy access to shopping malls, night markets etc. They also offer a mixed dormitory bed included in the price or help find accommodate nearby for 600 baht per night.

Classes are for a max of 5 students so you get the upmost attention to gain that extra knowledge too.

Hi, anyone recently got a new passport and have to transfer the non-B visa stamp as well as the re-entry permit from the old passport to the new passport? Could you please share your experience about how you got it done? Thank you so much.

Is there a way for someone to qualify for retirement visa based on a monthly 79400 THB income in lieu of depositing 800,000 into a Thai bank account?

Greetings All,

Is it possible for someone to qualify for a retirement visa based on a monthly pension income of 790400 THB in lieu of an 800000 THB deposit to a Thai bank account?

Hi

I had a vulnteer visa during covid, and then you extended it to me many times.

2 years ago, I left and went back after 6 months and they didn't let me go back in.

I did not overstay. I had legit stamps during covid and exited with no issues. When I went back they asked where did you vulenteer and I got nervous and didnt explain well since I didnt. So they got pissed.

Now 2 years passed and I got a new passport. Can I come back or am I black listed?

Thanks

Hi all - looking for some DTV application advice. I applied for the DTV while in Vietnam and subsequently left the country. I have now received a request for additional information including proof that I am in Vietnam - which I was when I applied, but am no longer.

I have seen no information stating that you need to be in the country of application for an e-visa for the time spent processing the application, only to make the application, however this may be a loophole from the (recent) days when they would keep your passport during the application.

Question is - in the opinion of the great minds assembled here - should I submit the hotel bookings for my time there or return to VN to complete the process?

When Tom Petty wrote the song 'The waiting is the hardest part" I bet it was for a DTV
