After the problem with using Wise to fund your Thai visa properly, I would like to ask about the other services available.

I have, and have used in the past to fund our breaks Wise, Western Union, XE, and Revolut dependant on the exchange rate offered on the day.

We will be moving full time in January to our house in Chiang Mai, and I will be needing to open a bank account for myself, and transfer the funds required to satisfy my visa requirements, and to purchase a car.

Do the other services mentioned show monies transferred as international transfer, as using Wise on some days could cost a substantial amount in comparison to other providers on large sums ?

# Hi all! I just got my DTV approved in Brussels, I'm so happy and thankful.

I still have some questions for anyone who might know:

1. How do you extend your stay after 180 days? If I travel outside Thailand once in a while, will that be sufficient and give me another 180 days every time? Or do i need to apply somewhere and pay an extension fee?

2. I hear 90 day reporting for the DTV is required, is that correct? What's the procedure for this? (my residence will be in Silom, Bangkok)

Thanks!

For anyone preparing to apply, here's my experience:

I applied using the Thai E-visa website (Brussels embassy). The documents I submitted (additional from my passport scans, photo etc) were:

- Certificate of main residence ('Attest van Hoofdverblijfplaats')

- A PDF containing my company registration (from the Belgian KBO website) + a brief portfolio (about 6 pages) of web development projects I have been working on during the last couple of years

- A certificate from my bank stating the current amount on my savings account ('Attest bevestiging saldo', dated 2 days prior to my application date) (I requested this from my bank per telephone).

I waited for 25 days before the visa got approved, the confirmation came per email with a PDF e-visa attached.

I got DTV today at the Thai embassy in Yangon, Myanmar. The first time it was rejected because there was no labor office stamp. After a month, I was able to apply again as a director 😁😁😁

I applied as the main applicant for myself and as a spouse for my wife.

Both don't even have to go. I went to submit the form alone. I answered the interview alone at 2 pm and paid USD800. The visa can be obtained within three working days.

The documents posted

For the main applicant myself

- cover letter

- Company Certificate

- Company Extract Form

- Meeting Minutes (In the minutes of the meeting, wrote that all directors know and support that I will be working in Thailand, the business is an e-commerce model, so most of the directors are working remotely, and that the office will issue a recommendation letter for DTV visa application, and signed the names of all directors)

- Recommendation Letter (paraphrase the information from the meeting minutes and signed by a director)

- COMPANY business profile (I added it to impress. I took a screen shot of the company website and Facebook page and added it.

- I showed the 500,000 baht with a 6-month statement from Bangkok Bank. The 500,000 baht was added to the account a week before.

- Certificate of residency

The documents submitted for the Spouse

- Marriage contract and notary

- Sponsorship Letter (I wrote that when did we get married, how important is it to live with me, and how do I take responsibility for her livelihood and health)

- I added 500,000 baht to the woman's Kasikorn Bank Account. (This makes it more impressive. A sponsorship letter is enough.)

- Certificate of residency and notary

- My passport copy

The interview is casual. Tell me your favorite places in Bangkok, that's all.

that's all. It's not difficult. It's easy. Apply yourself.

Hello, we are a family of 4 trying to figure out how to move to Thailand for long-term.. I'm a disabled vet and my wife wil be working remote...any advice would be great

Hello since the SEA embassies or consulates are all going to e-visas do you think you can apply for a DTV visa from here and exit and enter to activate it TIA

Left Thailand yesterday for a few days .

Looks like the new automatic imagration system is up and running, when leaving.

No long lines straight through no hiccups.

Can I convert my active Thai education visa to the DTV visa or should I leave, cancel my education visa when it's finished (becoming a tourist visa on re-entry) and then apply for the DTV?

Anyone got the soft skill DTV visa accepted with a letter from Rage Fight Academy in Pattaya ?

Entering Thailand during the application process?

I am outside of Thailand right now but will enter Thailand soon (on visa exemption). Can I apply now although I will most probably be inside Thailand at the time the embassy in this other country would approve it or do I need to stay outside Thailand during the whole process?

Thanks!

Going to apply in Hanoi next months.

Besides the basic required documents I will provide an dental implant treatment schedule with 2 past and 4 future appointments until the end of 2025 including receipts with my passport number and dentist registration number,an rental agreement in Thailand and a hotel booking in Hanoi.

Would this be a probable reason and documentation?

Any experience members done this already.
