Hello, I have a question about the $800k Baht requirement for non O retirement visa. I have half the amount and about $108,000 TB($3200.00 USD)/month retirement income and around $10k USD in savings. The visa agent said he could help meet the $800k level but would hold my passport until my funds cover the full amount. Is this usual practice with visa agents ? I could more than likely fund this fully myself in about 5 months. He adked me how long I would need to fund full amount. This is all new to me so i dont need any sarcastic comments. Just some real practical knowledge from anyone that has experience with this.

hey everyone. any australians on a DTV who could offer me some travel/health insurance advice? who did you go for?

I have a question regarding Non-O visa

If I need to change my company(workplace) can I just cancel my work permit form old employer and apply work permit with the new employer and extend my visa or how this works?

Hey guys , I’m about to applied for the DTV visa in Vietnam at the end of May .

Would love to know if the require documents are the same ?

Can you please share with me from your experience if you had done it in Vietnam and where in Vietnam?

Thank you 🙏🏾

Since I posted the other day about forming a friendship online with a 41 year old Thai divorcee, and wondering, if it got serious, what options I had for being together here in the UK, I have found many guys posting are just being disrespectful to Thai single ladies.

Not every Asian single woman, or gay guy, wanting a relationship with a Caucasian is pretending to love just to get a better life in another country with a wealthy man.

Some, like the lady I am chatting with are genuine. And before you think this 71 yo British guy is nieve, I am not. I can spot a scam a mile off, and my age does not reflect my youthfulness and awareness. I am not gullible.

So if you are attracted to Thai women but have the opinion and attitude that they ALL only want a free ride, then surely you should look elsewhere for companionship or a partner? It seems very disrespectful to those ladies that want a genuine loving, caring and trusting friendship/relationship.

Anyone else had "invalid alphabet pattern" on their TDAC in passport number?

About to get a bank account, i know that is not easy if holding DTV, a lot of contradictory comments. My situation is a little bit different because i hold DTV but at same time I'm married with Thai woman. Then, will be more esay for me to obtains account in a Thai bank?

DTV Success - Hanoi - 5 Business days - German passport holder

I flew to Hanoi on 22 April after staying in Thailand for 90 days (extended tourist visa).

1. Applied for DTV (Freelancer / Digital Nomad) on 23 April at 1:12 am on the official Thai website.

2. Status changed to “Pending Approval” on 24 April.

3. No additional docs requested.

4. Received visa on 29 April at 6:20 pm.

5. Entered Thailand through DKM airport on 1 May. Neither AirAsia employees at Hanoi airport nor the DMK immigration officer asked me anything. The imm. officer only asked if I filled out the TDAC, and when I said “yes”, he went ahead and gave me my 6 months visa after I showed him my printed out DTV.

Docs submitted (I used [members only] to merge my PDFs):

1. Docs indicating current location:

1.1 Airbnb confirmation Hanoi (initially booked 4 nights & extended my stay later on)

1.2 Hotel booking Bangkok for 1 month (for when I go back to Thailand)

1.3 Boarding Passes

1.4 Passport exit stamp Thailand

1.5 Passport entry stamp Vietnam

1.6 Google Maps screenshot indicating my location in Hanoi

1.7 Cute little selfie of myself in front of my Airbnb showing the street name and house number

2. Employment contracts

2.1 Contract no. 1

2.2 Contract no. 2

2.3 Cover letter explaining what I do (see attached screenshot)

2.4 2 Screenshots showing websites I have translated

2.5 3 Screenshots of my Malt, UpWork and LinkedIn profile

3. Financial evidence

3.1 Screenshot of my German bank account indicating a sufficient amount on 22nd of April (in German, not translated to English)

3.2 Official bank statement of my German bank indicating a sufficient on my savings account on 4th of April (in German, not translated to English)

3.3 6 months of payslips of my other German bank account where I receive payments from my clients. I marked all client payments green (in German, not translated to English)

Additional notes:

- Print out your Thai DTV visa and show it to the Thai immigration officer.

- As you can see in the attached cover letter, I explained every document using red letters in the left corner so the embassy employees know straight away what each page is about.

- The authority in my German passport says "Botschaft Bangkok" — this is exactly what I typed into the field “Issuing Authority”, which has worked for me and another German passport holder who has the same authority in his passport and who also applied for the Freelancer DTV.

Hello there, asking for advice regarding money transfers to the EU (Austria). I have been sending money to my daughter (just small amounts, less than EUR 800 every other month) via Western Union without any problems. Last Thursday they suddenly declined and asked me to fill in a document requiring the birth certificate of my daughter, my pension certificate and what not. I find that a bit too much, especially given the fact that they accept payments into Thailand without much ado. Anybody knows a way around or a better option to send money to the EU? My bank, Krungsri, is asking horrendous fees.

What is the maximum number of days it takes to receive a response for a tourist visa application?”
