I have a DTV Visa. Approved until 2029 even though my passport expires in 2026.

I’ve also just got married and would like to update my passport to my married name when I renew it.

So I’m wondering:

1. Is the visa transferable to a renewed passport?

2. Is the visa usable if I update my married name on my passport (provided I travel with my old passport and a copy of my marriage certificate?)

TIA!

Updated requirements for the LTR 10 year Visa.

For those who qualify, I believe it is the best Thai Visa available today.

LTR WP visa - health insurance: we applied one week after annual insurance renewal and it has now been about five weeks, so in two weeks we will have only 10 months remaining on our insurance. If we don't get the visa within two weeks, will we somehow need to extend our insurance coverage to hit 10 months again? This would be difficult as it's international insurance with annual premium. We were planning to do the e-visa through our embassy (Manila), but if they are slow perhaps doing it in Thailand would be better? Any comments from LTR holders with insurance (not money in bank) would be helpful. I have found BOI responsiveness not as good as advertised here.

Hi, we (wife and I) are considering applying for a Retirement visa but we are not planning on moving to Thailand for another year (when I finish working).

I am wondering if we can apply for the visa now (and basically just hold it until the time comes for us to move there), or do we have to wait until we arrive in Thailand (or apply from where I am, immediately before going there) on some other type of visa and then apply for the Retirement visa?

Also, and related to above, is there a minimum days-per-year that we have to live in Thailand when we have a Retirement visa?

TIA, Peter.

If my 90 day single entry Thai e visa says valid from 19 April until 17 July it means I can enter anytime during that period and the 90 days will start from the moment I enter Thailand? So theoretically I can't purchase a reentry stamp and go out and come back on 17 July for another 90 days?

Over 50. UK Passport. Got non o visa for Thailand. Arriving May. Want to get 1 year extension.

Recommendations for agents.

Hello!!I want to ask about the payment method.

I will go to Hanoi to apply dtv next week. The problem is that I only have UnionPay card.

Does the embassy website support UnionPay card payment? Or do I need to prepare a visa card?also how much is the application fee in Vietnam?

Thank you so much for your help!!

Is there anyone who has completed 6 months of DTV this month and has returned to Thailand after going to another country? What questions did Immigration ask?

Just a quick update for Re-Entry on DTV:

Spent 179 days of my first DTV entry my history of entry is : in 2024 I only spent maybe 10 days out of Thailand and I’m here since May 2023 on TR ED TR ED again

So I would be the best person to be questioned by the immigration despite having the visa ( all the fear mongering post I see here)after all on my first exit on ED visa I got a interview in Thai so why not again

So what did I do?

Left from DMK to Kuala Lumpur, arrive at midnight and take the first flight back. So my Thai exit is 19 entry in Malaysia 20 exit 20 and entry Thailand 20

No question asked, stamp stamp check all good

Round two in October, just be nice smile and do what they ask it’s not rocket science

Hello community 👋, I’m currently living in Bangkok as an expat with a family visa. I would love to start a small business and open an online shop—just like I used to do in my home country. Does anyone here have experience with this or know how the process works in Thailand? Many thanks in advance! 🫶✨
