Hello! I am currently on a legitimate Muay Thai visa (I go nearly every day) and my girlfriend is teaching here. We are thinking of going home to our home country for a month or so once my Muay Thai visa ends and then applying for the DTV. If we don’t get the DTV what do you think the chances are of being Ley back in just on a tourist so we can like empty our house here and tie up loose ends?

Our visa history is 6 month multiple entry (before DTV) then we went our respective education and woek visas and that’s it, no border runs or anything like that.

Thoughts ?

Here's something interesting, I was asking a lawyer friend in Thailand who is helping me with everything about a DTV benefits against a bronze elite visa, as one comment on here says there are refining the elite because everyone is going for a DTV, anyway to cut a long story short, lol, he reckons and a don't know if it's true but he said the bronze elite was always only going to end on the 31st December and the DTV might be cancelled because it's causing a lot of issues in Thailand, he did not say what issues but found this interesting and thought I would share,

Hello, I’m working at an info tech company as a consultant on a contract basis. I have all documents of hiring, pay slips and all the info required to show proof of employment

My primary question is working as a consultant on a contract basis falls under employment verification or it has to be more of a permanent full time job

Hey everyone 👋🏼 wondering if there’s people here who have successfully gotten their DTV under the freelancer category? Would love to here your advice and feedback 😊 thanks everyone

Hello everyone,

I am Iranian and currently in Thailand with a one-year student visa. If I want to apply for the Thailand DTV visa for next year, do I necessarily need to return to my home country, or can I apply from neighboring countries as well?

hello to all!

need advice, moving to Thailand next month with 1 dog.

Am I forced to take an A/R flight or will just one way do it? , I don't risk being refused because I will return with a tourist visa and then ask for my retirement visa on the spot?

where should the retirement visa procedures be done before coming back?

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Thank you

Bonjour à tous !

j'ai besoin de conseil, je vais m'installer en Thaïlande le mois prochain avec 1 chien.

Suis-je obligé de prendre un vol A/R ou juste un allé simple peut suffir?, je ne risque pas de me faire refuser car je vais rentrer avec un visa touriste et ensuite sur place demander mon visa retraite?

ou faudrait-il faire les démarches de visa retraite avant de venir?

avez vous une solution à mon problème?

Merci

Hello Friends😊

Just a quick question about something I'm still confused. Do I need to renew my TM30 report everytime when I leave Thailand after my 180 days on a DTV Visa.

I live at the same place so the adress and everything will be the same.

Also if I need to do it can I do it myself or is this the landlords job?

Thank you so much and have a great weekend!

When exactly should we do TDAC before arrival? People say "up to 3 days before" which is unclear. If my flight arrives on 10th September should I do it BEFORE or AFTER the 7th September? Thank you

Hi! I just got my DTV 5 year visa approved. What is a good travel insurance to buy before I go?

I am in my 20s, from the USA, and ideally just need the basics including medical. Thanks!

Update: I reapplied at the same embassy one week later, with 6 months muay thai, via "Issa Compass" agency, and sent more freelance work invoices, and got approved
