I am American, on no-nimm O over 50 Visa extension. I will be traveling to America, and while there plan to obtain new pass port. I will be needing a new one before the next extension. when I return to Thailand, the TM30 I do within the 1st days of arrival, will I indicate new pass port number, since it will not match what thay have on record. I will go to Immigration when I arrive at Surin. or just wait till I arrive at Immigration.

I’m planning to reapply for the DTV visa after being rejected more than 6 months ago (the previous application was for a boxing course, submitted through an agent). This time I’m applying based on remote work, and I’m do everything by myself here in Vietnam.

Documents I currently have:

• Signed employment agreement (in English)

• Letter from my employer (in English) confirming that my job is fully remote and that all clients are from my home country

• 6 translated payslips (translated by myself in Word) – my monthly salary is around 1,500 USD

• Original payslips (local language)

• 6-month bank statement (downloaded from my bank’s website in English, with a stable positive balance of around 700,000 THB during the entire period)

• Employer’s business registration certificate

Before I submit the application, I want to make sure I’m fully prepared:

• Do I need any additional documents?

• Do any of these documents need to be notarized?

• Is there anything else that you recommend adding?

• Should I include a short personal background letter? If anyone has an example, it would be very helpful.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello,

When you enter Thailand as a turist for 14 days, do you need to have cash on you to prove that you are capable to pay for accomodation, food, transport, according to the new entry rule in the country? I know that I need to fill a paper before leaving UK, but about money I do not know anything. Thank you for your answers! 🙏

Hello!

I’m from the UK and wanting to apply for a DTV at the beginning of 2026. I’ve been doing lots of research online but figured it’s best to ask people who have experienced the application process themselves so I’m 100% sure on what to do.

The DTV stands for 5 years, whilst living in Thailand, do you have to visit the embassy every 6 months or do you have to leave the country every 6 months and then re-enter? Can you also be denied re-entry at any time?

I know you need 500K THB when applying, do you need to keep this balance in your account at all times so they can check you still have this much money when you get re-checked every 6 months?

Any answers/advice to the above questions would be super helpful, thank you so much in advance😊

Also, feel free to DM me, I’m up to have conversations with people about their DTV experience!
