If dtv is approved, say I stay in Thailand for 180 days and get out. Will I have to apply for extension or can I just go back in using the same visa?

Hello everybody! Can anybody tell me if I need get two copies of Certificate of Residence from the immigration to get Thai Drivers License for both motorbike and car? Or I have to get only one Certificate of Residence and then can just photocopy it?

I'm aware that I need to prepare two sets of every documents if I'm applying for both motorbike and car driving licenses. But the Certificate of Residency part is confusing to me. Do I need to get two original Certificate of Residence from immigration?

Also, what are the documents required to get the Certificate of Residence? I have my TM30, Passport copies and rent agreement. Do I need anything else? Is there any fees involved?

Just for reference, I'll be applying at Jomtien Immigration, Pattaya.

Any info will be helpful. Thank you.

Hello guys,

I'm from France and I want to move to Thailand next year.

I can ask for DTV Visa but I have a question dor my fellow frenchs or even belgians here.

With a DTV Visa in Thailand, can I change my tax residence and become taxed in Thailand only ?

It's very important. For those (French, belgian, german etc.) who live in Thailand with a DTV, please answer me guys.

Ps : I work online so I DON'T have any revenue from France directly like real estate or physical business.

Thank you

Has anyone used Elite Fight Club for their DTV soft power application? Please share experiences, Thank you

i want to apply for DTV visa in Vietnam, somebody can recommend the best soft power courses with higher rare of approval thanks

Warning for flying.

Qatar airlines refused my wife to fly from London Gatwick on Sunday morning, with no onward ticket. She produced dtv and an unbelievably stubborn rude woman on check in, just point blank refused. Had to book a wasted flight, loads of hassle for nothing.

We've both flown on numerous occasions without onward travel of any kind. First time we've had this.

Avoid Qatar 🤷‍♂️

Any recommendations on an airline from USA to Thailand. Not a low budget airline but not the most expensive, but something in the middle.

Hello, does anyone have experience with using a Thai account to prove the 500,000 baht three months retroactively, and should I try or have to use my foreign account to provide the proof?

B4 ppl comment yes I’ve searched for these answers in the group.

My question is for those who applied for the DTV from Spain but don’t hold a Spanish passport. I have a Spanish nomad visa and ID for Spain, tax records etc. but my passport is Australian.

My questions are;

1-The criminal record cleanrance I got was date early 2024, so I need to request a new one for 2025 for DTV Thailand?

2-Im freelance but the main company that I have a letter authorizing Iand stating I have permission to work remotely indefiniteley that letter was dated for the Spanish visa in 2024, do I need to get an updated one for 2025?

3-The contract I have with that client was made and dated 2022 which also says there is no end date for this contract. For Thai DTC would I need to get an updated contract dated and signed for 2025? Or would the original contract be suffice?

4-I imagine I need to get my Spanish digital nomad visa approval translated from Spanish to English to give in my Thai application, should I do that through the Australian embassy, or any other easier options that would be suffice?

5-Also I imagine I need to translate my Spanish tax document and receipt from Spanish to English, once again any recommendations who to go through?

6- Do any documents need to be sworn translated by someone if so who in Spain? Or should I do that through the Australian embassy.

7-Anyone have any opinion on whether it would be better putting my application through Thai Embassy Madrid or Thailand Consulate Barcelona? ( I live in Barcelona) but which ever has more approval rate and speedy approval would be best.

8-I saw somewhere an intent letter needs to be written by me, what should I include in this letter?

9- Apart from bank statements, invoices, e-visa, my clients company good standing cert, my portfolio of experience in my industry, my CV, Full passport photos, NIE/TIE, is there anything else I’m forgetting?

10-Do I need to get private health insurance and if so does that need to be done before my application and included in it? If so any insurance recommendations?

11- Do I need to book a flight before I put my application in?

12- Do I need to book accomodation and include that in my application? If so what is the minimum length of accom booking they like to see?

13- Lastly I’ll be bringing my cat with me, she will have her passport, rabies vax and all other vax and paperwork up to date, do I need to mention she will be coming with me in the application?

Thank you for reading this and any advice assistance you can give. 🙏

Pretty sure I just broke the world record for the longest waiting time ever 😅

Are we even surprised by the Paris Embassy ?

Applied on August 23rd, and still waiting..

Do you know if the timer is reset when they ask for extra documents ? (I was ask for another photo on September 9th)
