Has anyone ever applied as a contractor for their own company vs applying as a company. If so have you just signed as yourself to say you can work remotely and also that you work for “the company”? Thanks

Dear friends,

Whether it’s for a visa, airport arrival, or an interview — you don’t *need* to print every document. But since printing everything costs less than $1, why not just do it?

Go ahead and print!

I’ve seen so many people asking the same question — for example, about the TDAC form. It’s not required, but still… why not?

It’s always better to have a printed copy just in case.

hello

I'm turning to 50 by next 31st December 2025.

and I'm planning to have a retirement visa in thailand. my arriving date to Thailand will be 26th December 2025.

what is the process, price ?

Anyone can suggest any good processing centre in thailand please

90 day reports with a DTV. I want to share my experience so that others may learn from it.

1. You must do your 90 day report in the province that your TM-30 address is located.

2. You have to do your report in person if you hold a DTV. There are no options for online filing, unless you have done the 6 month extension in country without leaving to reset the visa. I will explain this more below.

I recently needed to do my 2nd 90 day report while holding a DTV in Thailand. I read that after the first report in person you may submit the following reports online. This is true, however the count of reports submitted resets after every new arrival in the country. As a DTV holder, I leave every 6 months for a period of time so I will never have a 2nd 90 day report on one visit into Thailand. The 7 day grace period covers any "tight" timelines on having to do a 2nd 90 day report in 6 months.

I was traveling visiting some friends during my last reporting window and submitted online, only to be rejected. I visited the local immigration facility and it was explained to me that I needed to do the report where I live only. They were very nice and calmed my fears of problems with immigration by helping me understand the 7 day grace period after the 90 days in country that you have to file. I was home before that time was expired so everything worked out fine.

I just wanted to help anyone else that might not have gone through the 90 report process yet. Because of the slight pain of the process in my busy area now that it is high season, I might consider one of those do it for you visa services to file my next 90 day report, if they don't charge too much.

Previously I had a Non-Imm O. I have been out of Thailand for a few months. I wish to return for 60-90 days this time. I own a condo in Bangkok. However, I am wondering how strict they are on having an ongoing flight or train ticket etc?

Is there a reentry permit desk at Don Mueang?

90 day reporting

Reporting in Bangkok can be done 2 weeks before the 90 day date or within 1 week after the 90 day date. After that you will be fined.

1. Don’t go early in the morning, you’ll wait the entire day. I came at 1PM and got to the counter in approx. 2 - 3 hours. There are 6 counters and it takes approx. 5 min per person.

2. You only need your passport, a filled TM47, and a TM30. I printed my passport scans, property lease, and my DTV visa. All they took is a TM47, that I filled in at the immigration office, and my TM30. If you remember, write down the arrival card number on the TM47. If you don’t remember, don’t stress, no one is going to do anything with you. My immigration officer was nice, she wrote that down herself.

3. Make sure your address is properly mentioned in the TM30. I was rejected the first time because my address in TM30 was just the name of the condo. You need to have the name of the condo, address, and your room / condo number.

If you’re using the BTS to get to the immigration, don’t follow Google Maps, follow the people and they will lead you to a free shuttle bus thst goes between the BTS and the governmental complex.

Good luck 🙏🏼

Hi. Anyone is this group apply for DTV themselves under muy thai and can recommend some gyms in the Hua Hin area with pricing?

What are the alternatives to solve this that you can’t open a traditional bank account in Thailand?

Do they have neobanks that are easier to open?

I’m a freelancer and I just need to get paid somewhere, right now I have a balance account on the clients platform but that service only is deposit and I need to cash out those money to an Bank who have IBAN and who can give me virtual pay card so I can spend and use my money.

Please give me all tips and tricks. Thanks!

My bank account was closed, of course. I have Thai baht that I need to convert to USD, then send that money to my Charles Schwab account in the US.

I have no idea how to transfer cash like that.

Does anyone know the method? I'm in Chiang Mai.

Thank you!
