Hello everyone, and may all be well with you

a few questions:

Do you help to get a work visa, can you recommend a local lawyer?

Has anyone done a work visa themselves?

According to my calculations, the cost is about 110,000 for a family of three. If anyone has any experience, please share

Will I be ok with a one way ticket into Thailand than get a bus to ticket to  Cambodia or will I have  problem at the airport? Cheers

Posting to give back as I received a lot of advice on here....

I was approved for a DTV at Vancouver Consulate. I provided a credit card statement for proof that I was in Canada because my driver's license was expired. Also provided previous month bank statement showing closing balance over $20K CAD, though the balance was lower than $20k at certain times of the month. I own a Corp in Canada, but I'm the only shareholder, so I provided the Business registration docs all in 1 PDF. 7 days later, they ask for further documents regarding the nature of business of the Corp and how the applicant would work in Thailand. I answered those questions in an official company response and submitted it... was approved 6 hours later.

Feel free to call the consulate to ask questions before applying. They are very helpful and often pick up on the first ring.

Does it matter how the 500k Baht is stored on application of the DTV? If I have it within a mutual fund, 401k or an ETF account, would that be acceptable?

What is the attitude of Thailand regarding farang retiring here to pass? Like, not the guys who go broke and want to do weird shit before hopping out hotel windows, but just like really old/sick people?

So could someone clarify about the fee. Is that fee a one off payment or is that every 180 days?

Hi guys for those who applied and got approved for the DTV using the activities versus the remote work, how quick was the process to show income ? Are they very strict on the 500,000 baht requirement ?

Help please. I am married to a Thai National. We are both currently in the USA. I researched how to get a Thai marriage visa some parts I get but most say neccessary documents, my question is what are the neccessary documents that are required to bring to immigration office?

Thx

Hello everyone....when you apply for a metv, do you have to take the flight with a return within 60 days or can I take it with a return within 6 months (approximately)? This point is not clear to me....From what I understood, speaking to the agency, I can make a reservation in order to obtain the visa but this is still not clear to me....And in any case if I'm not mistaken, I will have to take an open ticket to change the return and this will lead to additional costs each time to postpone the return and change it.... If someone can advise me, especially the cheapest solution, I would be really grateful....have a good day.....

Hi,

is the 60 day visa exemption available for land crossing, or only at International airport?

If I do come by land crossing, do I get stamped in at the border? How long would that be for?

(Irish passport)

Thanks in advance.
