Can anyone provide guidance on using an annuity to qualify for the DTV by receiving monthly payments? I receive $1500 USD monthly, and I am married with one son.

As a residents of Texas, USA, I am inquiring about the requirement to maintain $15,000 USD in our account for 3 or 6 months? And if the $15,000 is per person or per main applicant?

Also, do I need to obtain the annuity form and have it apostilled by the state department?

After my visa is approved, should I apply for dependent visas for my partner and son separately or at the same time as my own application?

I would appreciate any guidance on this matter.h lf

I've got my DTV approved from the embassy in Rome, so I'm done for that part.

Now I'd like to be prepared and hear -especially from those departed from EU- how it works once you get for the first time at the airline check-in desk at the airport, AND once at immigration check the first time in Thailand with your DTV.

* What will they ask and want to see at the check-in desks in EU?

* What will they ask and want to see at the immigration in Thailand the first time you enter with your DTV?

* Anything else we should do and better know in advance to avoid delays and annoyances?

Thank you

Hello there , ☀️

I am planning to go to Bangkok for 2 weeks and afterwards to Phuket.

Does anyone know a place in Bangkok (Muay Thai) where I can request for the DTV visa only for a few classes or 1 month so I can go on to another island.

And also the question is do I need to apply for Bangkok or could I also apply for Phuket and can first enter in Bangkok ?

Thank you in advance guys 💃

Although I've been living in Thailand for almost a year, I'll soon have to go for my first 90-day report. I used to do everything with a "BORDER RUN," but for the past few months, I've had a "retirement visa."

I know that for a visa extension, you can go three weeks in advance to renew your visa.

Now, I have three questions about this...

1. Can I go two or three weeks earlier? Or does it have to be on the specific date of the piece of paper they stapled to my passport?

2. What documents do I need to have ready?

3. How does it work?

Does anyone have any specific advice? FYI. My immigration office is in Bangkok near Don Meuang apt. I know you can do it online from the second 90-day period onward. But I heard you have to go there the first time.

Help me make sure I understand this correctly. I’m applying here in the US for the Non OA 1 year visa. This first year I only need to do the 90 location reporting?

I’m coming to thailand from the uk on 26th October for 90 days , I see I have to go online to fill in I assume a questionnaire so that my arrival will be a straight forward process, I see it has to be done within 72 hours of arrival , I’ve never done it this way in the past , it is a straight forward online form to fill in & do I need to download a copy or is it automatically sent to the airport awaiting my arrival electronically, thank you for your time and patience

I need a visitor visa for my girlfriend. I will be there beginning of November for 6 months and want to bring her back to Canada at the end of April for 6 months. Is it possible? Is there someone who can help me with this?

Friends, for general ease is it better to get the long-term visa in the home country? Or in Thailand itself. I don’t have any sort of monthly guaranteed income but I can satisfy that ฿800,000+ bank deposit requirement if needed. Currently, I’m home in my country. What’s a better option? Canadian
