Hi. I am Canadian on a Non-O Retirement Visa with the One Year Extension with Multiple Entries. I got the One Year Extension on Dec. 26 2024 and it expires on Jan 2, 2026. My last physical 90 day checkin was March 21, 2025. I then went to Canada missing the next check in date of June 18, 2025.

We are now entering Thailand on October 26. What must I do when I check in for this 90 day period? My wife and I are still living at our house in our Udon Thani village.

Many Thanks

Hello,

If you are 48 and a half years old and you come to Thailand to live now . What visa is the best to bridge the gap to become 50 to apply for a retirement visa?

Can you get a health insurance if you do not have a long term visa?

Hello!

I have a 1-year retirement visa, a multi-reentry permit. Please tell me, when I return to Thailand, do I need to register with the immigration and a new TM30 form every time? My address does not change, I have a 1-year lease contract. Thank you!

Quick question, see on the DTV VISA when you extend your visa after the initial 6 months and you've been in Thailand for 12 months, how long do you have to leave the country before you can come back into Thailand? Could I fly to a nearby country for like a long weekend and come back and stay 6 months and extend again? It might seem like a silly question but someone might be able to clear this up for me.

My friend applied for the visa whilst in Thailand, told her this is very bad

What do you reckon next steps are? Create new application, email embassy?

Hi, is anyone from Poland applying for a DTV? Unfortunately, I don't see an option in my bank to generate a bank statement in English, only in Polish. How should I translate it? (The website says the translation must be authorized, so I can't do it myself).

Hey everyone

Just wanted to share my experience with the DTV Soft Power Visa, since this group has been super helpful for me! 🙏

I’m German and applied last Tuesday in Hanoi (October 15). On Friday, they requested one more document – just a better quality photo because my original one wasn’t clear enough. And today, Tuesday, October 21, I got approved!

For reference, I had 500,000 THB in my Thai bank account for the last 3 months before applying.

My Soft Power category was Muay Thai, and I registered with Tiger Eye Musy Thai Bangkok , highly recommend them if anyone’s considering that route.

Overall, the process was really smooth and faster than expected.

If anyone has questions or needs help with the application, feel free to reach out happy to share more details!
