Hi everyone!

I have a company based in Hong Kong, and I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa. Should I apply using my business documents, or through the Muay Thai school with Compass? Do both options have the same chance of approval?

Thanks for your help!

Got my DTV approved from London today. Just in time as I fly on Thursday! It took approx 7 working days from uploading my documents. Happy to give any info on what I did to help anyone with the process.

Anyone who applied recently or just about to apply can kindly provide info on what are the ways of paying visa fee online apart from visa and mastercard? (interested in HCMC specifically but I assume it’s the same everywhere).

DTV in Phnom Penh. Some questions. Is processing affected by current border dispute? I plan to be in Cambodia from 28oct2025 for about 4 weeks, that should be enough time? Edit: same question here: [members only]/

Embassy website requires passport. Do I have to hand in my passport? Others here show pictures of their DTV as sticker in passport. I thought it's all digital?

My bank statements are in German and numbers are Euro. Is google translate okay? Do I have to send a conversion EUR to THB?

I'm going for medical treatment and have letters from two health centers, for acupuncture and testosterone injection. Any experience with this or other medical treatments?

Anything else that is not stated in their (thaievisa and Thai embassy Phnom Penh) website and not obvious?

The closing chapter on my Frozen account with Bangkok Bank. Yesterday I went back at the 11AM opening of my Bangkok Bank branch airport Central Chiang Mai and waited about 5 minutes before I was called on. The staff had more than doubled from 3 weeks ago. I had provided all of the documentation requested during my last visit including passport, year lease, bank book, and Thailand driver's license. I was promised that the head office would call me to let me know the status of my reopening which did not happen, so I came back in to find out what was going on. Interesting that the original copies of my reopening paperwork were in an easily accessible location, a nod to those who look at BB branches as individual franchises. It was a bit of a hostile atmosphere dominated by older farangs like myself, some yelling thinking that it would help the process. I chose the tact of quiet cooperation and after about 20 minutes multiple ladies had worked on the reopening which happened. No additional documentation, the dreaded certification of my passport by my embassy consulate was not asked for and I verified my account was open before I left. Done.

Can you work remotely on a dtv visa even if you opted in by doing the muay Thai, not as a digital no mad?

I’m arriving in Thailand on a 90day Non O retirement visa over 50 from UK at the end of the month. I’ve already got 800k in a Thai bank account for over two months. I’ll be living with my girlfriend near Maha Sarakham. What documents do I need to apply for a 12 month extension. Not using an agent?

What Bank to Approach in Chiang Mai to Open Acct?

My DTV application was rejected. Now going for a retirement visa. The agent i spoke with advised me to open a bank account.

Bangkok Bank has fallen out of favor.

Any recommendations for a bank (branch?) someone here might recommend?

I’m in Chiang Mai.

Thanking you in advance….

I’ve decided to get a Thai drivers license. My wife and I live in Phichit. I have US drivers license with motorcycle stamp, I have my IDP from AAA that is current. My question is I have a yellow book and pink thai ID card.  Will that suffice as a certificate of residency?
