Affidavit of a Family Member Form

Immigration gave me this form for my visa extension. Support of a Thai child

Its a new form to me, but I want to get it right. As I understand it it's a family member confirming your family.

The first part looks like its filled in by the family member, can this be anyone? Wife? Mother in law?

Second part my details?

Third part

Signature 1. Family member

Signature 2. Competent officer? Imm officer?

Signature 3. Witness? Who can sign?

Question about the 6 month tourist visa. When does the "6 months" begin? When you enter the country or when the visa is issued? Just wondering how far in advance I should apply. Also, I understand you need an outbound ticket for exiting the country? Does that outbound ticket have to be for the first 60 days? 90 days? or 6 months? Thanks for any clarification.

ED Visa Question: Has anyone done the ED Visa through Chiangmai Muay Thai Gym? Do you start the Visa application before you get the MOE from the gym or do you wait until the MOE is approved? I'm in the US not Thailand currently. TIA

Hello, I am inquiring about the retirement visa. I have plans to travel to Thailand in March of 2026. Would you apply for the retirement visa prior to coming or apply for the tourist visa 1st? Hope this makes sense. Trying to get clarity. Thank you.

Hi guys,

I have flight to Thailand in March 2026,

I will stay in Thailand for 30 days, Exit for Philippines for 6 days,

and Go back to Thailand for 60 days and will go home.

* My second trip to Thailand will be in September for 2 months.

How should i go to Thailand without any problem?

Who is a real tourist in Thai?

Been to Thai 110 times since year 2000.

Never stayed longer than what then was 30 days visa exemption. Never extensions.

Never even knew that Thai Immigration even existed. Now, on Non O 1 year extension, I know.

We traveled around Thai, maybe 35,000 km rentacar. Travel, tourism

The hotels (maybe 50 of them) we had stayed at are still sending me (spamming) emails "Thank you for staying with us, we want to see you again". Their promotions and discounts.

That is is what a tourist is. Several times a year, some years 7-8 times.

Hi everyone. I’d like to ask if anyone can share their experience of obtaining a DTV visa in Indonesia through Jakarta.

I submitted my documents through an agent, and the status hasn’t changed since December 15. I was told there might be delays due to the holidays.

Has anyone experienced a long waiting time for a DTV visa? How long can the decision on my visa take?

Thank you all in advance for your replies.

Hi there,

I just discovered this group and I feel a little lost regarding all the information I found.

My wife, my daughter and I will move in Thailand in February, she will have her own Visa (non Immigrant B) and we will be related as "Non Immigrant O".

I quit my job and I was thinking to open a 'micro entreprise' (don't know how to translate it from french) so I can build websites and SaaS to french customers, from Thailand. I will create the company in few days, after Christmas break. I was working with disabled people in France. I know it's complicated to work in the same field in Thailand, so my company will not be related. I never had nether a diploma or training in coding, but I'm strong enough to build good products as a freelance (did it few years ago).

From what I understand, working in Thailand with my visa (non immigrant O) is not allowed, even if I'm not working with Thai people : I just can't work in Thailand.

... I will be crazy in few months, doing nothing but swimming pool in our new brand condo 🤷🏻‍♂️🥲

I just heard about DTV : is it possible to apply from Thailand (can't quit my family) explaining that I am creating my society ? I have proof of money (more than 20000€ are not moving in my bank account) and my family will already be in Thailand.

Any help appreciated... :)

I have a question regarding financial proof for the DTV visa

I provided the following documents:

• A bank statement from my business account showing transaction history for the last 3 months with total inflow of more than 500,000 THB

• A bank statement from my separate savings account showing a balance of more than 500,000 THB, issued on 22 December

After that, the consulate replied with this request:

Other requested documents: bank documents showing FINAL BALANCE equal to at least 500,000 THB for PAST THREE MONTHS, in addition to the bank document from 22 December provided. Bank document must show final balances, no need to show the transaction history.

Now I’m a bit confused about what exactly they expect.

If someone has already solved this exact situation — I’d really appreciate your experience 🙏

Hi guys, I need some advice regarding the DTV visa 🙏

I work as a freelancer (service-based work). My contracts are not tied to any specific location — it doesn’t matter where I perform the work.

The consulate has now requested confirmation from 3 of my clients — basically supporting letters stating that they are okay with me working remotely.

My questions are:

1️⃣ Is it enough to prove that I am a freelancer by providing contracts, invoices, and a description of my activity?

2️⃣ Or are client letters actually mandatory?

3️⃣ If letters are required — what format is usually accepted?

• free-form letter?

• company letterhead?

• signature / stamp required?

I’d really appreciate any real-life experience 🙌

Especially from those who applied for DTV as freelancers.
