Need help with a DTV visa for Thailand from Vietnam. Any trustworthy agencies? DM me!

Having got my retirement visa and had Having to report in October ,my question is I originally made my visa in khon kaen and I live in Buriram been told by the immigration officer in khon kaen that I have to report in at khon kaen but the immigration officer in buriram said I can do it in buriram my registered address is buriram who do you believe

First 90 day report coming up, since getting my 12m extension. I'm yold i must attend on 1st then i can request and set up future 90DR online.

Can someone please list all docs/copies they will ask for on my visit, its a long way to call in just to get a list from them.

I might request a resident's certificate at same time, to apply for licences. So a list for this would also be handy, own my condo but no yellow book yet just docs and empty blue book.

Sorry if this been asked b4

After the 1 year extension on the retirement visa has been given, the 800k needs to be in the bank account for 3 months.

I got my extension on the 19th of May. By mistake the balance dropped under 800k exactly on the 19th of August at 22:00. Does this break the rules or not?

Hello, need to renew my retirement visa end of November 2025 and I have 2 questions. I will apply in Pattay for renewal.

1. Financial part: For my current visa I opted for deposit option of 800000 baht in KB and left that amount untouched. Can I use that same money for my renewal now so I do not need bringing in another 800000?

2. Residence: For my current current I used the address and deed of my condo which I still have but I do not live there anymore and rent it out. I am staying with my Thai partner in a private house so I do not have a rental contract. Will this prevent renewal? Do I have to reside in condo? Thank you for reading this and any ideas.

Anyone else notice how Powell’s rate cut talk gave non-tech stocks like JPM, XOM, and CAT a nice boost? Kind of funny since tech usually steals the spotlight. Got me thinking how shifts like this affect where we put our money while living in Thailand on the DTV, especially when we’re all trying to stretch our baht a little further. Do you guys invest back home while enjoying life here, or just keep it simple and focus on Thailand life?

Hey, everyone! I’m a solo female cyclist from the Philippines who’s currently cycling across Thailand.🚴🏽‍♀️❤️

I’m almost at the end of my visa in Thailand. I got a 60-day visa exemption + 30 day visa extension from the immigration office.

I kinda expected to be done with my route for Thailand, finishing at Ubon Ratchathani to cross into Pakse and do the Boloven Plateau by bicycle, but since I’m cycling during rainy season, the weather’s quite unpredictable and sometimes heavy rainfall and storms take away precious cycling time. ⛈️

I’ve also realized my body’s tired from this nearly 5-month cycling trip and I need to slow down a bit on the bike.

I was thinking of going into Laos for a border run to get another 60-day visa exemption. Ideally, I would like to cross from Nong Khai because of the train services there that can take my bicycle. For other borders, I need to cycle and I have until August 28 to leave Thailand, but I’ve also heard so many notorious things about Nong Khai visa runs. 🚲

This will be my first border bounce. I’m not opposed to staying in Laos for a day or even a week / few weeks then head back to Thailand to complete my ride.

However, I’ve entered Thailand by land twice this year already.

First, during March just before Songkran via Nong Khai land border. Second, during May via Ban Phakkad just before they closed the Cambodian border.

For my first entry, I stayed 60 days in Thailand. My boyfriend came to visit so we traveled together, then I used the remaining 2 weeks to cycle to Cambodia.

I spent 3 weeks cycling in Cambodia before coming back to Thailand again (second land border entry) to recover because I was hit by a drunk driver, so it wasn’t really a border run but a cycling loop. (Thailand - Cambodia - Thailand)

My question is:

1️⃣ Will I be allowed reentry to Thailand given the circumstances and situation?

2️⃣ Will I get a higher chance of getting back to Thailand if I take my bicycle with me and show it to the border / IO? (proof I’m really traveling in Thailand)

Or will it be better to leave the bike with a friend who lives close to the border?

3️⃣ Will I get a better chance of getting back to Thailand if I go with a visa run agency or if I take a flight and come back to the country? This means I have to leave the bike, regardless.

4️⃣ What’s the best course of action? Should I take the chance for the border bounce or just move forward to the next country and abandon the loop?

If it helps, I understand my Philippine passport is weak, I have extensive travel history (7+ years of full-time travel, 35+ countries), so my passport has plenty of proof I’ve traveled to different places.

When the immigration officer asked for my return flight for the visa extension, I told them I was cycling and came to the immigration office with my bicycle. They were very friendly and even went to check out my bike at the parking lot. They thought the trip was actually cool. ☺️ They were even worried I was doing it solo as a woman.

This helped me dodge the return flight requirement, since I wasn’t really planning on staying in Thailand, and since I really came here to cycle. I still had to book a hotel, but that can be done if the officers inquire at the border. Bank statements won’t be an issue, but since I’m traveling by bike and solo, also camping outdoors and in national parks, I prefer not to carry the 20,000 THB they might ask to show at the border.

My experience with Thai immigration, police, and other officials while cycling has been lovely, and all of them have understood what I’m trying to accomplish with the trip. 🙏🏽

It’s my first time doing a “border bounce”, so I would appreciate any guidance towards the less riskiest option. ☺️

Thank you for your help and safe travels! ❤️

[ I originally didn’t want to post a photo of me with the bike due to privacy reasons and not drawing attention.., but apparently some people think this fake?? 🤣 Like seriously??

So yes, here you go, here’s the bike, she’s actually a cute, strong, unassuming little trike, and yes, I’m a real person, an actual tourist cycling in Ayutthaya ]

I have an interview, do I need to bring pictures of myself as one of the documents they want me to bring?

Other than that I will bring bank statements, the softpower documents, cover letter and passport.

Is there anything else needed?

Just a heads up to people who signed up for those "year long ED visa/extensions" where you don't go to school. <- Those are the ED visas from visa mill schools and agents that get you the visa/extension for a fee..

The gov't made a change in the way private schools report attendance and many MANY people found out that because they didn't attend class (or even log in for the online learning from the school) their extension was cancelled by immigrations.

More than a few people found out about this AFTER they went to either apply for another year of an ED visa via an agent/agency, when they went to get documentation to cancel their extension from their school or when they went to exit the country.

It sure caught a lot of people off guard leaving the country when passport control at the airport told them that their extension had been cancelled MONTHS ago, they owed 20K baht in overstay fines AND (if their cancellation was done more than 90 days before they were also banned from thailand for a year :O )

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. If you're on one of those year long ED visas thru a private school (or a private school running under a uni name) CHECK with your school that things are okay.

Last thing you want/need is to find out your ED visa/extension was cancelled without you knowing it and you're on overstay facing a possible ban of re-entering thailand

Let me share my latest experience. I spent 4 days in Vietnam and returned to Bangkok yesterday. Upon entry, I showed the DTV visa on my phone, which they compared with the data on their computer. I received a new 6-month stamp without a word, nobody asked me any questions, and the whole process took about 2 minutes.
