I'm applying for a DTV.

Any self employed people here have a DTV ?

What did you show for proof of employment ?

I'm semi retired in a family business.

Thanks !

Hi guys. I got an e-mail from immigration that my 90 days report will soon be due. However, I just got back to Thailand a couple of weeks ago and I thought it all started over the day I returned. Should I ignore the e-mail and go there 90 days from my arrival ?

I had (and have had for a decade) yearly extension visa for marriage to Thai husband. I exited Thailand for the summer and had totally forgot my re-entry, so annoyed, I only realised and my flight is in a day. I can come in on the tourist stamp for 60 days (Uk citizen) but to apply for non o Imm visa to restart my marriage visa, do I have to do it out of country? For example, with e-visa I see you have to stay the full duration in the country you’re applying from. Do I have any other options? Like if I apply for a tourist visa in UK now and it is approved in a few days when I’m in Thailand on the 60 day tourist stamp, can I then use this Uk issued tourist visa if I exit and enter Thailand? Sorry for the length and ignorance!

Hi everyone

I plan to live in Hua Hin and enter on a 90 day retirement visa approved by the thai embassy in Canada

Will I have to do extensions, reporting etc in Bangkok or can I do the 12 month extension and 90 day reports in Hua Hin

Many thanks

METV

Hi everyone!

I’ll be landing in Chiang Mai on August 28th, and I’m planning to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) this Friday, July 25th, through the Royal Thai Consulate in Los Angeles.

I’ve done a ton of research and feel pretty confident about the process, but since I’m handling this entirely on my own, I’d really appreciate any first-hand experiences, especially from those who’ve applied for the METV specifically through the LA consulate.

- How long did your processing take?

- Was your proof of income or financials accepted without issues?

- Any tips on documents or mailing that helped speed things up?

Thanks in advance for any insight!✨

Hello everyone. I am German and would like to be in Thailand from December 25 to the end of March 26. For the DTV only Softskill is an option. Are there offers for only 4 months? What if I want to change my location after 2 months? What if I pay for the course but don't go at all? I would also only take care of accommodation and flights once I have the DTV, because otherwise I can't plan it. So the course should also offer a full refund if I don't get the DTV. I would be very grateful for any advice. Are there people here who have received the DTV in Germany (via Berlin) and would share their experiences with me?

Kind regards

Went through BKK airport today with the DTV visa, just been asked to show the visa. Lady did stamp 17/01/2025 so that had to be changed to 2026. Overall, it went well and pretty quick.
