Hi everyone,

I’m a French resident interested in applying for DTV visa for Thailand. I would love to get advice from people who have already gone through the process or are currently applying.

- What is the best way to apply (directly from France or from another country)?

- Which country of application is recommended to make things smoother?

- Are there any tips or documents that are essential but not clearly listed on the official websites?

- How long does the process usually take?

Any guidance, experiences, would be really appreciated. 🙏

Thank you in advance!

Hi! Has anyone applied for the DTV from Delhi, India? Any advice would be helpful!

I'm just wondering if anyone has applied with funds in a Thai bank account and whether that would make things easier or harder since DTV holders are not allowed to open a bank account.

I've got mine opened around 6 years ago when I worked as an English teacher in Thailand.

So I came into Thailand on a tourist visa thinking I could change it to an o-retirment visa and my wife who is a Filipina. I am over 50 and my wife under 30. I went to immigratin in Hua hin and they told me I have to leave the country and apply for a non-o visa. I have gone to the webiste [members only]/. and filled in the application, however I have been told that my wife will get a non-o based on my status, but then I read online that she needs to apply for non-o also. So do we need two applications, one for her and one for me? Please onlu answer if you have done this in the last month or two.

*Chang Mai immigration offices question*- are all immigration offices allowed to give all services? trying to get a letter from immigration to bank stating "its ok to open bank account for "non o" holder" and get confusing responses. please advice. thank you.

Hey everyone 🙏☺️

I arrived here on a visa exempt. I will apply here at immigration for a non o visa based of visiting family (my thai hustband)

Do anyone know what happends when I get the visa. Do I have to leave Thailand and come back for the non o visa to be activated? And if so, can I just boarder bounce? By plane? Or have to stay outside thailand a certain days?

Also when its approved, if I do have to leave, how fast after its approved to I have to leave?

Thank so much in advance and i am grateful for any help 🫶

Hello,

I entered into Thailand phuket on 25th Sept on a Non O Visa based on marriage.

The final stamp in my passport is 23rd December.

A 30 days prior I will apply for my 12 month extension.

I’ve had 400,000 in my thai bank account for several months now and intend to leave it there forever.

My question is I’m going to visit my mother in Australia for a week mid October.

If I got a multi re-entry permit before I visit my mother will that transfer over to my visa extension on December 23rd going forward?

Or is it better to get a single re-entry permit until I get my visa extension?

Thanks in advance 🙏

I havent been to thailand since mid july, my account was frozen in june. I visited a branch and gave them all the paperwork and a sweet lady agreed to open it again. As there has been so many problems with these accounts after I left, do they usually close them 2 times in a row? I am on the DTV visa, I am not married, no kids and no rental contract. but i desperately need a bank account so I can transfer money here for tax purposes. If they wont allow me I guess the elite visa is my only option for opening up an account? Thats gonna be one expensive bank account!

Anyone here to advise me about the online thailand visa payments
