Hi lovely group I have a question:

If I applied 90 days retirement visa in the UK, can I open bank account in Thailand from the UK?

If yes how to do it?

If not can I do it straight away when I arrive to Thailand?

Hi,

I am currently travelling SEA since March 2024 and have spent most of my time in Thailand. It must have been 8 Months in total already. Last time I entered Thailand via plane, I was pulled out at immigration and was questioned, why I want to enter Thailand again. I am currently in Laos and plan to stay for 30 days - I arrived 3 days ago and plan to go back to Thailand, before going back home to Germany. Now I am quite concerned that my entry will be denied.

What is my best bet? Would a tourist Visa help in this case? I already tried to apply, but I seem to need a permanent address in Laos?! Could someone please help me understand?

Any help is kindly appreciated

Hi. In the next few weeks my DTV is reaching 180 days. Since I don't want to go through IO I either plan a flight out or using a border run agency. What is the better/safer option to do it? I didn't find any information on DTV land border bounces so far.

Was just looking at flights to USA and back- second week of March to first week of April, and they are double what I usually pay. Is there something going on that is driving the price spike?

I am not in Thailand right now. (I checked out 3 weeks ago) …my 90-day report date is March 1st (second report )

Do I need to return to Thailand before March 1 st.?

(non “o” retirement visa/multiple entry until dec. 3rd. )

Thanks in advance

So I got one question. I got my Visa approved recently. If I would change my employment to a new company. Do I have to apply for a new visa with the same process or what do I need to do?

Hi everyone! I’m planning to apply for a DTV through a culinary school in Phuket. I’ve been offered to buy an invitation certificate, but I’d rather find a place that allows me to actually take classes. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also, for those who have applied for the DTV, what was the process like? Is it easier than applying as a worker? And do you think there will be fewer questions about taxes and other things?

I’d really appreciate any advice, as I’m still figuring out the best way to go about this.

Has anyone applied for the DTV from Manila, Philippines with a US passport and can share their experience?

I know although requirements are generally the same, the actual process and approval feedback differs between embassies. Thanks.

Has anyone been accepted for a DTV with TSL Chiang Mai's culture course?

I'm looking to apply to an embassy that will accept the latest or 1 month bank statements as that is what I can only prove right now.

So far I've read that Hanoi (Vietnam), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Jakarta (Indonesia) and Taipei (Taiwan) are ones that have allowed this and I'm hoping anyone with experience of this, can please share. 🙏

Also, does anyone know cheap soft power courses to apply to in Bangkok? If you do apply with for the soft power DTV, the embassy will not ask for any employment verification correct?

Thanks!!
