Hello again, I’m looking up what documents I need to renew my 12month retirement visa. Do I now need health insurance, I didn’t need it when I applied initially (I applied in Thailand nit from my home country UK). TIA

hi i would like to ask if the 800000 have to be send to thai bank before applying for the extension or can the money be already there if i have thai bank account before applying

Hi people would appreciate some of your knowledge regarding applying for a o visa 90 days from lao.been informed from a agent that is the best way to get a Thai bank account. I need to know what documents I need to take with me.

Thankyou

I am on a non-o visa based on marriage, the three months will expire soon and I hope to extend it by two months. I was wondering if it's possible to extend it using my daughter instead of my wife and say on the form reason for staying is being around daughter? And before you say "oh why don't you just bring your wife along and get it done with her" it's not that simple and getting it done with my daughter is much more convenient.

Do holders of DTV sail through Suvarnabhumi airport immigration? Or are they challenged on Thai language or their classes in cookery (for example )?

😟 Bank app locked me out.

No email or SMS notification from the bank. Just opened my bank app out of curiosity after reading a FB post here about his bank app getting locked. Same thing happened to me. So I went to AIS at Central Rama 9, did their ID verification, topped up 100 baht credit to my AIS account and got the AIS receipt which has my details like full name, passport number and mobile number for the bank then went to the bank branch here and after waiting 1 hour, my turn took 20 minutes for the bank to update. After 5PM same day, bank app is ok now.

I still love Thailand 🇹🇭🤩

Anyone had an experience with applying to DTV in the Philippines? If so, how did it go?

Hey everyone,

Just got approved in Manila. Took 8 business days (total of 2 weeks because 2 weekdays were a thai holiday (thurs, fri last week).

Applied under Soft Power Muay Thai (9 months of classes).

Sent in all the necessary documents.

They asked for 2 additional documents:

1. The actual receipt of payment of Muay Thai classes

2. My business registration of my LLC

Status went into pending approval yesterday, approved today.

The application process is very straightforward:

1. Look on the embassy website for all the documents they require.

2. Provide them in visa application

3. Monitor your visa application in the event that you are asked for additional documents

4. Provide additional documents

5. Wait for approval

6. Enjoy Thailand :)

It's all spelled out on the embassy website.

I have a Bangkok bank account, today I wanted to try opening a Kasikorn bank account with my LTR-WP visa in Nonthaburi. Omg 😱😱 What an incompetent branch or person. She called their headquarters, she had no idea about LTR, she spoke simultaneously with two individuals on two phones in both hands. She passed the phone to me at times so I could answer their questions, well finally no account with LTR after wasting about 40 min ! They asked work permit or country ID .. US has no country ID, we have passport and driver's licence. I run to the next door which is SCB bank. This time she was much faster to let me know their bank don't open a bank account for LTR visa holders. I said LTR visa holders were selected through a stringent process and it is given to top earners, why would SCB refuse to do business with us. She run inside, then came out with a better idea, she copied all my docs and told me that they will notify me in 1 week about their decision. Really pissed I barged into next door which was Kurungsri Bank. They also called their headquarters then copied my docs and told me to wait a week to hear their response. All in all, today I failed opening a bank account three times with my LTR-WP visa. Thai banks are going through a huge confusion, trying to implement new rules but doing it in a total chaos.

I will be applying for a dtv for my next trip to Thailand - will this visa enable me to open a bank account in Thailand?
