Hello all,

Looking for an agent/agency that can help me with a DTV visa, I’ve seen both sides and I want to avoid rejection. Looking for those of you who’ve helped used an agent. I’ve seen a few comments recommending certain agencies but it’s usually a fake profile promoting their own business here.

I know I can do it myself, I don’t mind spending extra to make the process easier.

Yes im on anonymous because I don’t want certain people on my friends list to see my post

Can anyone please let me know if they have had the Digital nomad visa accepted from the London embassy with savings in your bank account for a short period of time?

Is a DTV limited to just cooking and Muay Thai boxing?

I see some people use medical issues. What about boat repair work?

This *IS* a DTV topic - on topic!

I just got my Non Immigrant OA visa (yay) out of the Thai consulate General in Los Angeles (super fast turnaround). I paid for the multi entry visa but cannot find whether a reentry permit is still required. Can those who are knowledgeable about this visa confirm for me that a multi entry visa does NOT require re-entry permits each time I leave Thailand over the year length of the visa? Thanks for the sincere and serious replies.

Not sure if I’m lucky, or just maybe have done things correctly. My wife had a phone call from our local BB manager requesting we call into the office with some paperwork with regard to my account with them. For her it was her Thai ID, marriage certificate and house book. For me it was passport with current long term visa, bank books and driving licence. She did say there was no problem just a check up to see all was in order. We were there a max 30minutes while she checked everything and gave the all clear. She confirmed I would have no problems getting the 12 months bank statements and bank letter required in order to apply for my next retirement extension. I then visited immigration who confirmed there wouldn’t be a problem changing from monthly 65k transfers to 800k banked money method for my next extension.

Having had Visa exemption for the past few years. I have decided to obtain a 90 tourist visa so as not to abuse the system. Reading the requirements l have to report to immigration after 60 days for a 30 day extension. Can my return or onward flight be 90 days from arrival and not the 60 days before getting the extension. Thanks

I am not sure I followed the proper procedure when I left Thailand. Last ApriI obtained my first non immigrant O visa and then was able to get my one year extension of stay in July. I left the country a couple of weeks later and am not sure if I got my reentry permit. This is a picture of my last passport stamp. Did I mess up and lose my visa status? Please advise. I did buy a multi entry permit as well.

Hi All. I’m hoping to retire early to Thailand. I’ve got a lot of info from other members posts, but just recently I read a comment from someone comparing the cost of a retirement visa for Thailand with Vietnam. He stated 65k for Thailand and $25 for Vietnam. Could someone please give me an idea of the yearly costs for retirement visas, so I can factor this into my monthly outgoings before I make a decision on how early I can retire.

TIA Steve 👍
