Hi all, thanks for all the wonderful advice here. I am trying to complete the requirements for non O-A 1 year visa. Multiple entry. I have downloaded the template Thai medical certificate with certain tests such as leprosy and elephantiasis. These tests are not common here in North America. The hospital says 30-40 days for results? I’m in Canada so the results are sent to CCDC. Any suggestions? Can’t go to US.

Any suggestions would appreciate?

Soft power activity that's getting approved?

I was all set to apply for my DTV, got the money in the bank and a remote job, however I just realised that my job needs to be in my own country, which it's not. I could set up a Ltd company in my own country an pay myself, but that involves waiting another 3 months, so, I'm thinking of applying with a soft power course, but I've seen a few people get rejected on soft power, so which activities are getting approved?

Hi there!

It’s my first time leaving Thailand on DTV. Can I go and comeback in the same day? Or maybe 1 day later? Anyone has done that ?

Firstly, I would like to sincerely thank everyone in this group for sharing valuable information and guidance. I applied for the DTV on July 2nd and received my approval today here in Cambodia. I have been working as a freelancer with genuine remote freelance jobs.

At first, I was quite worried that border-related issues might impact the outcome of my application, but I’m truly relieved now. I believe that as long as our documents are complete and aligned with the embassy’s requirements, there is a strong chance of success.

Wishing the very best to everyone still waiting for their results — may you receive good news soon. Thank you once again💕🙏

Hello all, I have a question about the possible freezing of accounts. If frozen at b800;000 can you still deposit or withdraw any funds over the frozen amount?

Got my DTV approved today. It went as follows:

-Applied 9th of july to Thai embassy (Sweden) as a remote worker (workcation category)

-I filled in all the information they asked, but I also added my latest payslip + a written explanation that my work is 100 % remote, and what I do at my job.

-My application changed status to "Pending approval" on the 15th of july

-Approved on the 16th of July 2025. In total the process took 7 days, including the weekend.

Feels absolutely amazing!

Hi, my first 90 report is due end September based on TM30 showing rented apartments in BKK.

I bought a villa in Hua Hin and should have the yellow book mid August.

I aim to wait until I have the yellow book then re apply the TM30 showing HH address for the 90 day report.

Am I missing anything for this simple move to make it easy at immigration

Hi a relative newbie here.

I arrived from UK on Saturday on non o Visa

I have obtained certificate of residence from immigration and today was successful in opening a bank account with Krungthai Bank.

What is the correct way to transfer the 800,000 ?

Can I just do it from my UK bank direct to Krungthai bank?

Thanks in advance
