I’m applying for a DTV medical visa and had a question. I’ve seen in some previous posts that no medical insurance was required or asked for, but I wasn’t sure if that only applied to Medical applicants.

Does anyone know if, when applying out of Jakarta, I’ll be required to show medical insurance that covers my entire stay (longer than 90 days), or if 90-day renewable coverage is enough? Also ChatGPT said the 50,0000$ minimum has to be stated in that document.

Applying through Indonesia; concerning the passport copies, is it correct to include Passport Copy (biodata page + all pages with Thai visas/entry stamps?

For the past two years I have basically lived in Thailand and did several extensions & visa runs. Do I have to include all these pages?

Anyone had over-stays in their passports? (I have 1x 1 day and 1x 3 days)

Please help! :)

I got the dtv visa in June and I can only enter in Dec this year, would it be ok?

I heard people need to renew it every 6 months, is it true?

Thanks

Additional Details : Basically I would like to stay in Thailand and do some work (research on my own) and study online to gain new skills without getting paid. Which visa I could get. I was under the impression that DTV is a tourist visa for long term.

Original post:

I'm applying for DTV from Toronto. I'm not working since April. I plan to select "workcation" under purpose of visit and wonder what option I should choose in occupation category which has options like Unemployed, freelance, remote. I was hoping I would be considered under foreign talent category since I have a PhD in Science and past experience with biotechnology. I will be doing some independent research from Thailand. I have sufficient bank balance. I wonder are there documents I should attach other than my Resume, PhD Certificate. Would that be enough ? is being unemployed going to be a problem. Thanks !

A saw a post saying the 90 day window for reporting had been reduced from 14 days to 7. None of the official sites reflect this and I've not seen any other reports, can anyone whos reported recently confirm the change?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa as an American selling on Amazon and eBay. I run the business under my own name (sole proprietor), filing taxes in my name with a Schedule C (profit & loss form for a business).

I’ll be applying electronically through the Thai Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Does anyone know if Amazon and eBay stores screenshots (that show my name) are accepted as sufficient proof of a business? Or do they usually require additional documents like W9 from Amazon, bank deposit records from Amazon or IRS tax filings?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience or who’s gone through this process. Thanks in advance!

If your passport expires in 8 months, can you get a 12-month visa (retirement extension) and have the last 4 months be valid on the new passport, or will they only issue the visa up to the expiration date of your passport?

Logically it seems like the latter, but if anyone has direct experience I'd love to hear about it.

How do Ugandans apply for a visa to enter Thailand?

Does anyone know?

Or is there an agent who can apply for a tourist visa for us thank.

Can I get a retirement visa and spend more time in Australia and work until I get our home built then retire in about two years over there and how often do I need to return and would it be easier to find a agent to help me with everything like bank account and phone number and driving licence and stuff like that

Not really visa related but maybe someone could share some advice. I have had a notification from Google that they will change my country associated with my account (including emails) from the uk to Thailand. Does this really have any dramatic effect to anything? I still use a lot of uk services especially financial? . I have the option to submit a request to change region back to the uk but I don’t know 1) if I really need to and 2) whether it would be accepted as I spend most of the time In Thailand?
